Zungenwurst

Zungenwurst is a traditional blood sausage that contains pieces of pickled tongues. It typically consists of a mixture of pork blood, fat, and pieces of pickled tongues, seasoned with ground pepper and (optionally) other strong spices. Usually, the blood sausage is entirely made of animal parts, containing no fillers or cereals.

Since the sausage is typically cured and dried, it requires no cooking prior to its consumption. A common sausage in Austria as well, it can be consumed both hot and chilled, fried, or sliced in sandwiches. Its name is derived from the German words Zungen, meaning tongues in English, and Wurst, which translates to sausage.
