Was macht eine Schinkenrotwurst oder Schinkenblutwurst so besonders
First and foremost, it's a blood sausage or red pudding. Like any other sausage of this type, the sausage mixture consists of freshly beaten blood, cooked, finely chopped pork rind, and a bit of meat broth. This is seasoned with a spice blend with strong marjoram and pepper notes. But the ham red sausage or ham blood sausage makes it special. Lean pieces of pork ham, about the size of a cherry stone, form the filling in the blood and rind mixture and shape the distinctive appearance of this artisanal food.
The seasoning of Thuringian ham red sausage is very similar to our Nuremberg ham blood sausage. In general, the Thuringian spice, which is influenced by marjoram cultivation and the world-famous Thuringian marjoram, is very similar to Franconian seasonings.
