Medisterpølse

Medisterpølse, medisterkorv or simply medister is a Scandinavian specialty food consisting of a thick spiced sausage made of minced pork and suet (or lard), stuffed into a casing.

It is slightly sweet-tasting, and the finely ground meat is seasoned with chopped onion, allspice, cloves, salt and pepper.

[4] The word medister is derived from a combination of med and ister, respectively meaning 'pork' and 'suet'.

It was first used in print in a Swedish housekeeping book from the early 16th century.

In contrast to many other types of sausage, medister is kept fresh and only cooked or fried during the final preparation.
