/* Wurst is the best. Create a function that takes a string and 
replaces every mention of any type of sausage with the German
word "Wurst," unless—of course—the sausage is already a type of 
German "Wurst" (i.e. "Bratwurst", see below), 
then leave the sausage name unchanged
 *
 *  | German Wursts      | Convert to Wurst  |
 *  | ------------------ | ------------------ |
 *  | Bratwurst          | Kielbasa          |
 *  | Kochwurst          | Chorizo           |
 *  | Leberwurst         | Moronga           |
 *  | Mettwurst          | Salami            |

 *  | ~		               | Pepperoni         |
 *  Append sausages from the "Convert to Wurst" column with "wurst".
 *  Do not replace any German sausage with the word "Wurst".
 *  The word "Wurst" must be title case.
