This popular, cured meat spread is prized for its smoky flavor and spreadable consistency. According to Chef Lothar of Restaurant Lachswehr in Germany, which is famous for it's wursts, including teewurst or teawurst, the name Teewurst comes from the time of day it was usually eaten, "Teatime." It is a spread that has a lot in common with Mettwurst, a German variation of Salami, but just made finer as a spread.
This ready-to-spread treat is perfect served open-faced on hearty German bread. The USDA requires "cooking" instructions for this item; however this is a "cured" item and customers typically use it straight from the package. For a great appetizer spread it on pumpernickle rounds or on whole wheat bread, cut into bite-sized shapes. This product is also available in a coarse texture. Each is made with pork and beef.
