Here is another popular dish from Germany:
The literal translation of Hackepeter would be ground Peter, but I doubt that this is how it got its name. This is raw ground pork, mixed with a raw eg (or just the yolk). It is usually eaten on a roll topped with salt pepper and onions. My wife says that that's the reason why Europeans can't donate blood in America.
I had this on my trip back to Germany with a bottle of Rauchbier. There the Butcher has to assume that one buys raw ground pork that they will be eating it raw and as a result of that they will only sell you fresh stuff. I'm not sure about this here in America and that's why I never dared making this here. It tastes pretty good once it is eaten with salt, pepper and onions.
