Metworst

Metworst or droge worst ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdroːɣə ʋɔrst]; "dry sausage") is a type of traditional Dutch sausage. The sausages have a strong flavor, and are made from raw minced pork which is then air dried. Droge worst simply means "dry sausage", referring to drying process and texture of the product. The name metworst (Met from Low German word mett, "minced pork without bacon") is similar to the German Mettwurst, though only in name, as the taste and preparation of both sausage types is very different. Metworst is traditionally found throughout the Netherlands and Flanders. Most of the production is the northern provinces of the Netherlands, Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe, where wind conditions are most suitable for rapidly air drying the sausages.
