What’s your favorite kind of sandwich? Most of us will probably think of a classic option—like a ham sandwich or a grilled cheese—when asked this question, but the world of sandwiches is incredibly diverse and there are tons of unique options that are popular around the globe.

In Germany, there is one sandwich that—while beloved—might seem extremely strange to those who aren’t familiar with it: Mettbrötchen.

Mettbrötchen, to put it simply, is not for the faint of heart. This sandwich consists of raw minced pork, which is served with onions on a bread roll.

Yes, you heard that right: mett is the name of the uncooked minced pork, which is beloved as a sandwich filling throughout Germany, giving its name to the popular sandwich.

Mett is prepared following strict rules to prevent people from getting sick from potential parasites or food-borne illnesses that the pork could harbor. In fact, a German law states that mett must be served on the day of its production.

Seasoned with spices like caraway and garlic, the combination between the raw meat’s smooth, hearty flavor and the bite of the onions works incredibly well. It’s easy to see why this dish is popular even if it might sound a bit scary!

So, would you be adventurous enough to try a Mettbrötchen sandwich?

Ham is a classic cut of pork and is enjoyed around the world in so many different ways. What is so fascinating about traveling is seeing how people eat so differently at times but also so similar. If you are a ham lover and want to travel the world, you can’t miss out on these types of ham.

Jamon Iberico

This type of ham hails from Spain, where they use a special kind of pig to create the ham that is more than 50% genetically an Iberian pig. This type of pig roams freely in Spain and feast on acorns, giving them more muscle and flavor than standard ham.

Prosciutto di Parma

This Italian ham is one of the better-known hams in the world and is super flavorful. Most of the hams are aged for 18 months and can be found with just about everything in Italy. From fruit to pizza to pasta, you can’t miss it.

Deli Ham

Although many people think the deli sliced ham is strictly an American dish, it is actually a really common breakfast item for people in Brazil! They eat it with cheese and bread but interestingly enough, never eat it for any other meal during the day.
