Pinkel

Pinkel is a traditional sausage from the northwestern region, particularly associated with Lower Saxony, Bremen, and Oldenburg, as well as parts of Friesland. It is commonly eaten during the winter months, especially alongside the regional dish Grünkohl und Pinkel (kale and sausage).

Pinkel sausage is made from a combination of pork fat, oat groats (or barley), onions, and a variety of spices. Despite being a sausage, it's relatively coarse in texture due to the inclusion of grains like oats.
