Thüringer Rotwurst

This is a specialty blood sausage made from pork, a small amount of pork liver, and spices and seasonings such as salt, black pepper, marjoram, allspice, cloves, and onions. It can often be found in butcher shops throughout Thuringia, and it has been prepared and consumed for centuries at farm slaughter festivals.

Today, it is produced all over Thuringia by several major producers. Thüringer Rotwurst is known in the region as the "queen of black pudding".
