Ahhhhh, Mettwurst!

I don't think we have anyone selling Mettwurst around here any more. There used to be a sausage maker not far away that only prepared his products traditionally, as in Old World traditionally, that was superb (he was a Czech immigrant). But he moved, and I haven't had anything remotely close to as good in 5 or 6 years.
 
When I lived in Waterloo, down the street was the meat shop of Rolf, a German fellow, licensed, in Germany, to cut meat AND make sausage. Two different trades, there. When he introduced that to me, it was when I asked for Braunschweiger, of which he was out, but he said I would probably like Mettwurst. He was right.
That was 50 years ago, and I still remember it.
