content
A liver sausage visits a blood sausage and sees strange things: a broom and a shovel beating each other, a monkey with a head wound. The blood sausage does not respond and wants to see after the meal. Somebody warned the liver sausage that it was a murderer's cave. She runs out. The black pudding threatens with the knife through the bottom hole:
- "If I had you, I want you!"
Origin and reception
The horror tale probably comes from Amalie Hassenpflug . In Jacob Grimm's handwriting Blutwurst from 1810 it is not yet fully formulated, the plot and the final verse are the same. Georg Büchner must have known it, as he wrote in Woyzeck 1836: “Tomorrow I will bring the queen her child. Blood sausage says: come liver sausage! "
From the 3rd edition, the text has been replaced by Ms. Trude . Compare to the quarreling shovel and broom KHM 42 Der Gevatter , as a warning and threat from the hole in the ground also KHM 40 The Robber Groom , KHM 46 Fitchers Vogel , KHM 62a Bluebeard , KHM 73a The Murder Castle .
