Landjäger

Landjäger is a semidried sausage traditionally made in Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Alsace.

As a meal, landjäger sausage can be boiled and served with potatoes and fresh greens.

"Jäger" should be remembered as a direct, simplified translation from German, meaning "hunter."

This could explain the sausage's renewed popularity in the more northern and German-settled parts of the United States.

Landjäger sausages are made of roughly equal portions of beef and pork with lard, sugar, red wine, and spices, such as caraway, black pepper, coriander seed, and garlic.
