My local butchery

Written by eklastic
… mjam; hearty, delicious and alluring – Best meat and sausages always freshly butchered!

A literal translation of the slogan would be “always fresh from the slaughter” which might defeat the purpose of an advertisement.

    1. It sounds perfectly fine in German. A “slaughter feast” or “slaughtering feast” sounds gruesome in English but in German tradition it was the day the pig which had been fattened up was slaughtered – and divided. There are treats (if you are so inclined) that have to be prepared and eaten on the day and the rest of the pig is used for cuts and to make sausages. Family, friends and neighbours would be invited to have Metzelsuppe (and looking that up just now I learned that there is a connection to the Jewish/Jiddish matzo balls, very interesting), snout (looks like wobbly electric outlets), and fresh sausages etc. And it is all consumed with copious amount of beer (around here) or wine (more to the west of us).

      1. That is rather interesting Elke. In rural communities here, it is more likely to be a sheep that is fattened and divided among the family first and then offered to neighbours.
