Landjäger

Landjäger is a semi-dried sausage popular throughout Switzerland, Germany, France, and Austria. It is typically prepared with a combination of pork, beef, lard, red wine, sugar, and selected spices. The sausage is first pressed in order to obtain its typical rectangular cross-section, and it is then smoked and dried.

The name landjäger means land hunter, referring to the fact that these sausages are especially convenient and popular among back-packers and hunters, who carry them while traveling.
