About Möpkenbrot

German pork and grain sausage

Möpkenbrot, also spelled as Möppkenbrot, is a type of cooked German sausage prepared using pork, grain, apples and raisins. Its preparation is similar to that of blood sausage. The main ingredients are bacon, pig masks, pork rind, pork blood, and grated rye or wheat flour. The ingredients are formed into a dough, which is then boiled, after which it is typically sliced and pan-fried. It is similar in appearance to black pudding, but it is prepared using fruit, which imbues a fruity flavor, and it is also prepared using a greater amount of flour compared to black pudding.
