Ossenworst

Ossenworst is a traditional smoked sausage originating from Amsterdam. In the past, it was always made from ox meat (hence the name), but nowadays it is usually made with raw beef and Dutch East Indies spices such as pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and mace.

This combination is then stuffed into beef casings, smoked, and dried. The final product has a soft and tender texture that is similar to that of steak tartare. Although many sources claim that ossenworst has Jewish origins, there is still not enough evidence to prove it.

Ossenworst is typically served sliced and paired with Dutch mustard, pickles, and a glass of beer, although it can also be used as a sandwich filling.
