In some parts of Flanders (Belgium), notably around Antwerp, it is called "curryworst" (not to be confused with the German Currywurst, though in eastern Germany people tend to eat Currywurst without the skin). In the US it is marketed under the "Dutch Dawg" and "Freakandel" brands.[3][4] Due to the absence of a skin, one could argue that technically it is not a sausage. Until 2005, the official spelling of the name of this sausage in the Dutch language was without an "n", but both variants are now allowed with frikandel being most commonly used.[5] Although both spelling variants are correct, there is a slight difference today between a frikandel and a frikadel.
