What is landjaeger?

Landjaeger is a type of semi-dried sausage originating from Germany. It is typically made from a mixture of beef and pork, seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices such as coriander and garlic. The meat is cured, smoked, and air-dried, giving it a slightly chewy texture.

Landjaeger is traditionally made in a long, thin shape and is often twisted or tied into pairs before being smoked. It is a popular snack in Germany and other European countries, often enjoyed with bread and cheese or as part of a charcuterie platter.

The name "Landjaeger" translates to "country hunter" in German, reflecting its historical use as a portable, durable food for hunters and travelers. It is also a popular snack for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts due to its long shelf life and compact size.
