How come the only thing actually cooked is a burnt hot dog?
I know everything is illegal in Germany, but surely a grill or a smoker to cook food properly should be an exception? Is this like the beer purity laws? All meats must be cooked purely in boiling water only?
It’s the whole point of a butcher’s plate to have the food boiled. Traditionally, this was served to everyone involved when a pig was slaughtered. You’d already have a big cauldron going for boiling the sausages you’d be making anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal to boil some of the meat, too. Usually, everything that couldn’t be preserved was cooked to be eaten right away, often in a feast for the entire neighbourhood. (Schlachtfest) There were some funny little traditions around this, for example, the butcher would try to pin the pig’s tail on someone without them noticing.
Your text for the image is hilarious. Turd throning over the rest lol
Thanks for drawing attention to this poetry
can the food be sent to the kitchen to be grilled or something?
That looks disgusting. How was it?
By the looks of it (pepper sauce missing) rather bland, as to be expected from a dish largely consisting of boiled meats.
If you like pepper sauce so much why don’t you marry it?
/s
Pepper sauce doesn’t pass the Harkness test
I thought mustard would be the right choice here?
You can have mustard with it, but that’s optional, at least where I am from.

Where is that? It’s missing a couple key ingredients of a classic butcher’s plate where I am.
It has meat and beer. What else do you need?
Technically, you aren’t wrong, but, a proper butcher’s plate, at least where I am from, comes with 3 different kinds of sausage, boiled meats, a peppery sauce made from pig blood, and as side dishes, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes or mashed peas (possibly even both). Also you’ll often get the broth from boiling the meats and sausages as a soup to go with it.
This one only has the boiled meats and two different types of sausage with a slice of bread that doesn’t even have lard spread on it.
That’s the “Schlachtplatte” (Leberwurst, Blutwurst, Kochfleisch, Sauerkraut, Brot oder Kartoffeln) I remember from countless Red-Cross-Events. People would give blood and get a big plate of everything in return. And the younglings had to wash the plates. Good times, back in the 80s.
I know what it is, its incarnation in the picture just wouldn’t fly as a proper Schlachtplatte where I am, (the south of Hesse) because it’s missing some things that definitely belong on a Schlachtplatte around here.
We Also have Leberwurst, Blutwurst, Kochfleisch (we call it “Wellfleisch”), in addition, Bratwurst, boiled kidneys, Schweinepfeffer (a thick, peppery sauce made from pig blood), Sauerkraut, as you do, and potatoes, but as mash, alternatively, mashed peas. With the whole thing, we have the broth from boiling the meat and sausages as a soup. (We call it “Worschtsupp”) Any half way decent butcher will make sure of overstuffing a few of the sausages to ensure they burst and give the soup some substance.
If the yanks can consider ketchup a vegetable, we can do the same with beer!
Beer is a cereal, though. It technically makes the slice of bread redundant.
Three beers are equivalent to a meal. And then you still haven’t had anything to drink.
And then you still haven’t had anything to drink.
How about a beer then? And with that beer, you should also eat something, because drinking on an empty stomach is bad.
I’m so going to steal this.
I thought that brisket slice was a bun for a while. Why are the sausages in the back uncooked?
I’m guessing Oktoberfest tent. You’re supposed to be too drunk to notice how bad the food is.
The bread looks like the only edible thing there.
Looks more like pork belly than brisket
You’re probably right; it’s fits the theme better. Boiled.
Actually, if you’re looking really closely, it’s really just one sausage, and it is is cooked. It’ just boiled rather than fried, which gives it this kind of appearance. Only the Bratwurst on top is fried. I can only speculate on what exact kind of sausage it is, though, becuase it has a very light colour.
Where I am from, butcher’s plate comes with boiled liver and blood sausages, and fried Bratwurst. The questionable sausage is way too light for blood sausage, and a little bit too light for liver sausage, at least the kind familiar to me. (the gray kind)
