German term
Wurstschinken
German to English
Other
Cooking / Culinary
Meat products
From the company history page of a firm producing high-quality meat products from the Black Forest:
----
Die Geschichte der Firma geht zurück bis in das Jahr 1958. Damals wurden die von den örtlichen Bauern aufgezogenen Schweine und Rinder geschlachtet, weiter zu Frischfleisch, Wurst- und Schwarzwälder Schinken verarbeitet und regional verkauft.
----
It does seem possible that the '-' after Wurst in "Wurst- und Schwarzwälder Schinken' is a typo., but I did find a few relevant references to Wurstschinken on Google, e.g.: "Der als Vorspeise servierte "Chefsalat" bestand aus alten kleingeschnittenen Eiern und Wurstschinken, offensichtlich hergstellt aus den Resten vom Frühstücksbuffet und ein wenig Lachs.". http://www.holidaycheck.de/hotelbewertung_archiv-Hotel Calyp...
So, basically a process similar to making sausages, that ends up in a ham-like product? The best I can come up with is 'processed ham', but this hardly conveys the quality image that the company wishes to convey. It seems to me that Wurstschinken doesn't necessarily mean a low-quality product, but I can't think of a 'pleasant' sounding English term. Any ideas?
TIA, Stephen

I have even found this term on the net. Should be the same as ham sausage.
