Mett is great 2. Not every German eats or likes this. 3. It's fairly regional
Edit: because people were asking: I'm from Frankonia (Bavaria) and Mett wasn't a common thing for me. Yes, you could get it, but it wasn't something you'd see a lot.
I'm German and I never thought abt that. I grew up w this food, village life, we would serve it at every event, party etc. It kind of becomes normal. Strange to see it's not normal and it's something of concern even.Â
99% true but not always. The sandwich shop i used to drive by in Mont Saint Guibert had both a beef option and a 50/50 split option and a pure pork option. Itâs rare but not impossible.
For me proper butter makes it even better. Fresh Brötchen is important too. I work in construction and sometimes, on special occasions we get like 1,5kg Mett for the four of us and have a feast. Love it
Gods no mett has to go on plain wheat Brötchen xD
I'm just pointing out Brötchen aren't real bread like the previous comment said. It's the right bread for the given task but not something I'd consider real bread like Bauernbrot or Schwarzbrot
This depends on the region. In Baden-WĂŒrttemberg for example wheat bread and bread rolls are the most common ones whereas rye bread and mixed grains are less eaten.
Can I get some more clarification on the bread-toast distinction youâre making here? Do you just mean not stuff that comes from the grocery store or is it a shape-based distinction? Is a bakery loaf also not real bread? What about a non-loaf bread but from a cheap grocery store brand?Â
Canada. Given that Iâve asked about your bread reasoning you can assume I donât already know. In English lots of different types of bread can be toast if you slice and toast it so maybe something is lost in translation here.Â
Yes , in Germany only a specific type of bread is called toast. But Germans typically don't know that this isn't the case in English because the word is English. It is the square soft sliced white wheat bread that comes in plastic bags from the supermarket and is used for sandwiches in North America. In Germany, this type of bread goes in the toaster. People usually don't eat it untoasted. And other bread typically doesn't go in the toaster. What Germans call "real" bread is much denser, with a hard crust and mostly darker and comes from a bakery. It's often, but not always, sourdough and made of rye. But there are many varieties.
I didn't want to be unpolite. It's just very complicated without sounding like a dick. Where ever I travelled there is no bread like at home and even these breadrolls that are the best for mett are quite unique eventhough they are the cheapest you get in a bakery. Bread is a bit of a religion over here and hard to explain
Okay so this person is just saying it canât be sliced bread and assuming that means better bread but not factoring in for the possibility of a really crap roll
Iâm from the south and you can get it basically at every butcher shop where I live. It not called Mett though, itâs usually called âBratwurstgehĂ€ckâ
BratwurstgehÀck is not the same thing as Mett. Mett is typically only seasoned with salt and pepper while "BratwurstgehÀck" is seasoned to taste like... Bratwurst (which makes sense because it literally is the raw Bratwurst).
It's both raw pork and they taste kind of similar but they're not exactly the same.
I'm also from the South (lived in both Lower Frankonia as as well as Upper Bavaria) and you will not find BratwurstgehÀck everywhere either.
Some butchers will have it, most won't. It's just not as popular in the South and you have to sell it the same day you make it so it makes little sense to have this ready-made. Especially when you can make it on-demand.
Any proper butcher will just make it for you if you order it. It's not difficult to make, it's just minced pork with seasoning.
Iâm confused, maybe I need to do some research. Ich meine das, was man kriegt, wenn man an der Frischetheke im Supermarkt âZwiebelmettwurstâ bestellt (Schwein oder Rind)
Zwiebelmettwurst ist hÀufig gerÀuchert, getrocknet und / oder durch Salzen haltbarer gemacht. Mett ist immer frisch und muss schnell verzehrt werden.
I'm living so deep in the south, you'd end up in Switzerland if you were to go a metre more to the south. And we have Mett in every store and at every butcher shop.
Ja wirklich so gar nicht. Ich bin selber Metzger aus NRW und als ich in MĂŒnchen im urlaub war musste ich mir das fĂŒr den nĂ€chsten Tag vorbestellen, weil die nicht mal die richtigen gewĂŒrze dahatten
Warte mal, was ist denn der Unterschied zwischen Mett und Zwiebelmett? Ich als Bayer dachte die ganze Zeit, es geht um Zwiebelmett, dachte das ist einfach nur gewĂŒrztes Mett. Habe ich bisher nie das ârichtigeâ Mett gegessen?
Wichtige Fakten zur Zwiebelmettwurst: Herstellung: Sie besteht aus zerkleinertem Rohen Fleisch (meist Schwein oder Rind), das nicht erhitzt, sondern durch Pökelsalz, GewĂŒrze und Reifung (oft mit MilchsĂ€urebakterien) haltbar gemacht wird. Unterschied zu frischem Mett: Im Gegensatz zu normalem frischem Hackfleisch ist Zwiebelmettwurst durch Nitritpökelsalz und die Reifung lĂ€nger haltbar, bleibt aber grundsĂ€tzlich ein rohes Fleischprodukt. Erfahrungen und Diskussionen dazu findest du beispielsweise auf Reddit.
I can't even risk a rawish pork chop, but I devour stake tartare, and make my steaks blue. Sometimes I risk a burger with a pink inside if it has been sufficiently spiced and 100% beef.
It is also a cause of the extremely high levels of toxoplasmosis in Germans:
Similarly, Hackepeter or Mett, a German dish made of raw minced pork meat, is more popular and consumed more frequently in eastern Germany compared with western Germany. This dietary preference was linked to a higher T. gondii seroprevalence in the human adult population in eastern Germany
Itâs not fairly regional. Itâs one of the most bought meat products at meat counters (Fleisch-/Frischetheke) throughout the country.
You just didnât notice that because you live the furthest from where it was invented and also the south already has the LeberkĂ€sweck.
I also didnât say you couldnât get it. Iâm saying the opposite, you can get it everywhere. Because itâs not regional, itâs, countrywide, one of the most popular fresh meats bought in supermarkets.
It's pretty cool, honestly. Germany is pretty dope for having good food safety enforcement. I would never trust raw pork here in the US, especially with the bullshit happening lately.
