kasseler

Kassler or kasseler in german cuisine is the name given to a salted (cured) and slightly smoked cut of pork similar to gammon. it can be either hot or cold smoked. pork necks and loins are the most often used cuts although ribs, shoulders and bellies can also be used. it is often served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. in addition to pork, chicken prepared 'kasseler' style is available at some butchers. it is unclear where the name comes from. it is often said that the name derived from a berlin-based butcher called cassel who prepared the cut in the late 19th century. however, records of the town's inhabitants show that in the 19th century no butcher named cassel or kassel was living...
