Meats and Sausages
Teewurst
Teewurst is a German spreadable raw (fermented) sausage. Teewurst was invented in Pomerania, probably in the small Baltic town of Rügenwalde (now Darłowo, Poland), in the middle of the 19th century. In German "tee" means tea and the sausage got its Teewurst name from the habit of serving it in sandwiches at teatime.
