Industrially produced meat salad
In Germany, the meat salad is usually a variant of strip-cut boiled sausage , pickled gherkins and mayonnaise, which is mainly produced industrially. By cutting the sausage into strips about 3 mm wide, they have a large surface area, which makes it easier to pick up the spices.
According to the guiding principles of the German Food Book , commercially available meat salad should consist of at least 25 percent meat, meat salad base or boiled sausage, mayonnaise and up to 25 percent pickled cucumbers. If the meat content is at least one third, it can be called a “delicacy meat salad” or “fine meat salad”. “Beef salad” contains at least 20 percent cooked beef.
