I am German and it's disgusting. I would never eat raw meat. But most of the people I know loving it.

I'm German and have never even tried it, kinda disgusting. Dibs sushi in soy sauce

I'm German and I eat Mett all the time. Its kinda a tradition but also really fucking tasty. Also you can get it anywhere but fresh from the fleischtheke is the best

Nebraskan here. Most of the people in my area have German ancestry. I remember my grandparents (born in the 1920's) eating it though it was usually more of a special occasion type dish like when having guests over. I remember them sitting around a table with their friends, playing cards, smoking, drinking Schlitz and snacking on Mett the whole evening. They used beef and pickled onions though. A lot of the small town grocery stores used to make it on the spot if you wanted some.

Now that their generation is mostly gone, no one really eats it anymore

You should try it. Mett and baked potatoes especially out of a wooden fire with some salt and butter. Thank me later

Yeah making it with pork requires very strict precautions in the entire process that you simply don’t find outside of Germany. Otherwise raw pork can be quite the health hazard.

I get it for 1,50 from the local supermarket
