Chipolata

A chipolata (/ˌtʃɪpəˈlɑːtə/[1][2]) is a type of fresh sausage, likely created in France.

Chipolatas are typically made from coarse-ground pork seasoned with salt and pepper together with herbs and spices—according to the particular recipe—such as sage, thyme, pimento, or nutmeg.

They frequently appear as part of a Christmas dinner wrapped in streaky bacon as pigs in blankets.

[6] A garniture à la chipolata consists of onions, chipolata sausages, chestnuts, salt pork, and sometimes carrots in a demiglace or Madeira sauce.
