Mettwurst
Sign in to saveMettwurst () is a strongly flavored German sausage made from raw minced pork preserved by curing and smoking, often with garlic.

Braunschweiger Mettwurst is partially smoked but still soft and spreadable, while other northern German varieties such as Holsteiner are harder and more akin to salami, due to longer duration of smoking.
