Grünkohl mit Pinkel
Germany · Europe
Grünkohl mit Pinkel combines kale with Pinkel, a sausage made with meat, groats and spices. It is a familiar specialty in Bremen and the surrounding northern German countryside. A substantial serving may also include Kasseler, or smoked pork, and pork belly. The word Grünkohl names the kale; Pinkel in this dish refers to the regional sausage.[1]
The meal is associated with the cold months and commonly appears on menus after the first frosts. Around Bremen, groups may precede it with a Kohlfahrt, a social outing through the countryside. Participants walk together, take along handcarts and stop for conversation, games and drinks before gathering for the kale meal. This winter custom connects the dish with an organized shared occasion as well as everyday regional cooking.[1]
