Bierschinken


Bierschinken, or Schinkenwurst is a form of sausage or cold cut particularly common in German-speaking countries.
Contrary to the name, Bierschinken does not contain any beer, but rather, is eaten as snack with beer. It is a fine Brühwurst of cured pork, beef or poultry meat, plus bacon and spices with a coarse deposit of pork pieces or cooked ham. It may be slightly smoked. It is usually sold sliced in delicatessens, but it can also be found preserved in cans.
