Thuringian sausage (25% as compared to up to 60% in other sausages). According to German minced meat law, the "Hackfleischverordnung", raw sausages must be sold on the day of their creation or until the closing of a late-night establishment. Previously grilled sausages have a shelf-life of 15 days, and sausages immediately frozen after their creation may be stored for 6 months. The preferred preparation method for Thuringian sausage is roasted over charcoal or on a grill rubbed with bacon. The fire shouldn't be so hot that the skin breaks. However, some charring is desired. The sausages are sometimes sprinkled with beer during
Christmas in Sweden with mustard. Other traditional cuts include homemade sausages, leverpastej and several types of brawn. It is also common to serve the cold meats with sliced cheese, pickled cucumbers and soft and crisp breads. The third course would be warm dishes. Traditionally, the third course begins with soaking bread in the stock from the Christmas ham, which is called "dopp i grytan". Warm dishes include Swedish meatballs ("köttbullar"), small fried hot dog sausages ("prinskorv"), roasted pork ribs ("revbensspjäll"), and warm potato casserole, matchstick potatoes layered with cream, onion and sprats called "Janssons frestelse" (literally "Jansson's Temptation"). Other dishes are pork sausages
