actually the ambulance you use for an emergency is called Rettungswagen (RTW), with sirens and emergency lights. It translates to "rescue vehicle/car/wagon". then there's the Krankentransportwagen (KTW) which translates to "sick people transportation vehicle" and is used for planned transports.
Krankenwagen is used colloquially but technically correct (no it's not the best kind of correct), albeit a very unspecific word.
Calling it slang is insane, it's the normal word for 95% of the population. Just because there's a different word in official communication doesn't make it incorrect
Some pepper, some salt, some garlic powder (optional) and it's a freaking gourmet meal. If you are feeling fancy add someĀ finely chopped chives. Can't recommend it enought. Better than tartar in my opinion.
Yeah, I believe, the tradition came from Pommerania with the first migrant wave into the Rhine-Ruhr steel and coal industries in the late 19th century. Very popular in mid and western Germany. Back in the days, at least in rural areas, having your house pig slaughtered by the end of autumn was quite common and a part of it was - lacking refrigeration - either consumed right away or salted, cooked or smoked. PeopleĀ“s surnames derived from that tradition and the related professions, i.e. Fleischhauer was the guy accompanying the traveling butcher, responsible to chop the meat into fine silk like Mett.

In Poland you can buy metka cebulowa - with onion, but in form of sausage. But i don't know anybody who eats that.
