"The Diner's Dictionary: Word Origins of Food and Drink" noted that the luxury of oysters results in cocktail sausages replacing the oysters. According to the classic recipe, shucked oysters are wrapped in bacon which is then broiled in the oven, about three minutes per side.

Schlachteplatte Schlachteplatte A Schlachteplatte, Schlachtplatte, Schlachtschüssel (Southern German) or Metzgete (Swiss and southwestern part of Baden-Württemberg in Germany) is a hearty German mixed grill dish that primarily consists of boiled belly pork ("Kesselfleisch") and freshly cooked "Blutwurst" and "Leberwurst" sausages. The cooking process produces sausage juices which, together with any split sausages, are used as a soup known as "Metzelsuppe".
