Beutelwurst
Encyclopedia
A Beutelwurst is a German blood sausage
(Rotwurst or Blutwurst), which contains more pieces of fat and flour
than a normal Rotwurst.
The name Beutelwurst comes from the fact that this does not come in a casing of intestine
or a can, but in a linen
or paper bag
("bag" = Beutel).
This bag is pressed for several weeks which gives the Beutelwurst a firm, light, dry consistency.
