Gastronomy: Cold meat

So many ways to eat cold meat!

Alsace is one of the most famous French regions for the variety and quality of its cold meat. One of the most typical specialities of Alsatian cold meat is, without a doubt, the “knack”: a pinkish-orange cooked sausage. Its name comes from an onomatopoeia deriving from the German term “knacken”, whose sound evokes that of a sausage breaking or crunching in your mouth. But there are loads of other cold meat products in Alsace: beer, ham and blood sausages, not to forget smoked meats and liver sausage.
