Chipolata
Chipolata is a small, medium-sized sausage with a diameter of about two centimeters and six centimeters in length and filled in sheep charcoal ; it is served either fried, poached or grilled. In France, chipolatas are made from pure pork. In Great Britain, the term chipolatas is popularly used to refer to other miniature versions of sausages, such as the cocktail sausages . Chipolatas are sometimes used as a topping on other dishes.
The name is derived from Italian cipollata (in Italy it means something that contains onions as an ingredient, from cipolla : onion). However, sausages known as chipolatas outside of Italy do not contain onions. To explain the origin of the word, it is believed that the Italian dish with onions (called cipollata) often, or at least sometimes, contained sausages of a special kind, and that non-Italians, especially the French, believed that it was these sausages that bore the name. Due to their size, they are often part of a grill skewer . They are also sometimes served at a Zurich councilor's pot.
