Mett

Mett is a preparation of minced raw pork that is popular in Germany and Poland, but is also commonly eaten in Belgium and the Netherlands. The name originates from mett, either meaning "chopped pork meat without bacon", or the Old Saxon meti, meaning "food". It is normally served with salt and black pepper, and sometimes with garlic, caraway or chopped onion, and eaten raw, usually on a bread roll. At a buffet it is sometimes served as a mettigel (mett hedgehog). it is also sold in the form of Mettwurst, a spicy, raw sausage, often smoked. In Germany, laws require that no more than 35% of the mett is constituted by fat.
