      I WISH I could get this in the UK! I love beef tartar and just 100% know I would love this! I may have to make it myself as I do have my own meat grinder! Although I just know it would freak my husband out a little as he freaks out even when I chop little bits of steak off my steaks while waiting for the pan to heat! 😂😂😂

    I come from a german region called "Eichsfeld" that is has a special dispensation to process pork while it is still warm (basically processing the meat by hand straight after slaughtering instead of cooling it down first). The Sausages, Mett (we call it Gehacktes) can take in the seasoning way better when its still warm leading to a variety of delicious meats. To this day some families have a butcher come over and have him slaughter a pig in their homestead and process the meat themselves.

    Well, just a bit eastward, in Poland, we have exactly the same delicacy. It's called "metka cebulowa" (lit. onion mett) and it's just raw minced pork with onion and some simple spices. Just as Germans, Poles eat it as a spread on a slice of bread. It's definitely not as popular or iconic as it's counterpart in Germany, but still - you can buy it in almost every supermarket. And I can assure you, it's simply delicious.
    In general Polish and German cuisines share many similarities (our shared love of sauerkraut and potatoes is the prime example).

      @@KVP424 In Germany chicken farms of a certain size(250+ animals I think) have to immunise their birds against salmonella. And even then they have to be tested regularly. That's not 100% foolproof, but works pretty well. Same reason we don't keep eggs in the fridge until a few weeks after buying. That and we don't wash them with chemicals. I made a lot of mayonaise in my life and never had any problems. So I'm sure I could eat raw chicken here. But I'm rather sceptical that it would be nice. And I'm sure the Japanese have an even better approach to it.

    I think the idea for Hackepeter might have more to do with sausages than you think. After all, when you knead sausages (at least the slovak ones are kneaded so the ground meat becomes a coherent structure and mixes in with the condiments) you can and will definitely taste the mixture and if the meat is fresh, it's pretty delicious. so it's not an inobvious idea to, once you're done, use some bread to "clean out" the tub in which you were kneading...

    Okay, so hear me out! Mett-Igel-Hawaii!
    Instead of onions use diced pineapple and I would recommend fresh rather than the canned stuff for humidity reasons.
    That sweet and savory melange will beat every other version of that dish! Salt and Pepper still recommended.
    Other popular version is to use Maggi instead of other spices, but not in combination with pineapple ;D
    Lastly I have to say, the Mett shown in the Video wasn't finely minced in my opinion. My local butcher sells a much more visually appealing Mett.

    Traditional Mett Brötchen (bread rolls) have a good amount of Mett on them. A 1 to 1.5 cm thick layer of Mett is common. You don't add butter to it because you're literally just adding fat to the already fatty meat. So it makes perfect sense to me that you add butter to your Mett Brötchen, because there is far too little Mett to deserve to be called a real Mett Brötchen.

    Just adding to that: We eat raw minced beef as well. Schabefleisch is a little more expensive and not AS common as Hackepeter, but common nonetheless. You can season and eat it as a spread just the same as Hackepeter (bread/bun, butter, salt, pepper, onion if you like); it's crazy delicious! Some mix in raw egg yolk and call it steak tatare ... well, no kink shaming.

    I can imagine this having a similar appeal to something like a bagel with lox, the only difference is that lox is cured (and sometimes smoked) so it's less scary to us Americans than raw pork would be.
    Also I think a big part of the aversion to raw meats here is due to sourcing. Most of us will happily eat raw fish or beef if it's served in a restaurant, but most people are also skeptical of raw meat sold at a supermarket unless it's in the sushi section. Maybe a few of us will try this from a trusted local butcher but I don't think anyone here would do this with packaged ground pork from Kroger

    • @timseguine2

      The experience is somewhat similar to that. Most raw meat and fish has a similar consistency (well at least they are more similar to each other than different).
      The flavor is different, and can't really compare it to anything except raw pork. If you like other similar raw things like tartar or sashimi, then there is probably a good chance you will like it.

      Your advice is great but for anyone else who is reading this; trichinella is also not the only parasite that can be present in pork, and there are also bacteria/viruses to consider too. Trichinella does not exist in my country (Australia) and no pigs here have ever actually been diagnosed with it but it still would not be safe to eat raw pork here due to other germs or parasites such as tapeworms.
      One day I want to go to germany and try that raw pork though, it looks delicious.

    what somehow everybody talking about mettigel seems to omit is the fact that it's not a dish but rather a mode of presentation. you're not gonna order a mettigel at a restaurant and chow down on it with fork and knife. you'll see it at a breakfast buffet and it's meant so that you can take a bit of mett, put in on your plate alongside other stuff, and then enjoy idk some bread with mett on it for breakfast. you know like buffets are full of fancy or odd ways of presenting large quantities of something to provide for a large number of guests.
    also i think the mettigel has it's origins in the 50s/60s, you know the time where having fun with garish ways of food presentation really came into fashion, idk like party foods or fancy fruit punches or whatever.
    i really don't get why facts like this are never explained properly. maybe it's creators not realizing that facts like this need clarification to international viewers because they're so obvious to the creator idk

    The US had a decent issue with trichinosis back in the day, because a lot of pigs were often fed table scraps, which lead to the issues with trichinosis in meat. This lead to generations of people like my mother and late grandmother thinking the only way to handle pork was to cool it to the point of bordering on lightly seasoned saw dust.
    But as time went on, feeding pigs table scraps became rare enough to not matter, and the only real reports of trichinosis in meat was tied to people eating bear meat, where the bears would feast on anything they could get their paws on.

    In the former GDR people drank like crazy. I always wondered how could they still wake up the next day and go to work. Guys Mettbrötschen is the anwser. Don't ask me why but eat this when you have a hangover. At least for me it works

    It isn’t called Hackepeterbrötchen.
    It is called Haramstufe Rot.

    Interesting about the origin of the word “mett”. In Swedem, a Medvurst or medwurst is a spotted sausage, which is found both cooked and smoked. The name comes from the Low German metworst, and the word “medvurst” has been in the Swedish language since 1454.

      We do have these in Germany as well, especially in the more northern parts. There are sooo many varieties of sausages that are called Mettwurst depending on the location.

      ​​@@SomePotatoJeah and it can mean sausages ranging from spreadable to almost salami like ones. Could be the origin of mett is just the same as the English meat.
