Close
Saucisses: Pork products, especially sausages, are available in great variety.
The "Knack", authentic Strasbourg sausage, derives its name from the popping sound it makes when bitten; it combines a subtle mixture of pork and beef, seasoned and smoked and is served with the best choucroutes and hearty meals (potees, cassoulet, lentils).
Other varieties are cervelas, white sausages, ham sausages, beer sausages (marinated in beer and shaped as a pear), liver sausages (a breadspread), pistachio sausages (porc, pistachio and beef tongue), blood sausages or black sausages (tongue, blood and lard).
Others: Smoked cured meats and the famous "presskopf" (pressed-head), the winstubs favorite specialty, served with a vinaigrette.
