Feldkieker

The Feldgieker, also known Feldkieker, a type of German salami was already known in 1488 in the Hessian Büraberg near Fritzlar. In 1844, a full description of the "Feldkyker" (field watcher) was given: "Feldkyker " is a long Schlackwurst (sausage) in a thick natural casing which may have derived its name from the fact that when it – the long variety – is placed in a trouser pocket or hunting bag it sticks out of the pocket or bag and looks into the field. The base end is called the Feldkyke which at the thickest end is made of intestine (Die goldene Mark Duderstadt, Carl Hellrung, 1844).
