Lyoner refers to a type of sausage that originated in the Saarland region of Germany and is closely associated with French cuisine, particularly from the Lyon area. Known also as Fleischwurst, Lyoner is a finely ground sausage made from pork, and sometimes beef or veal, seasoned with various spices.

Description

Lyoner sausage is typically pale in color and smooth in texture. It is encased in a large synthetic casing, which is not meant to be eaten. The sausage is cured, smoked, and fully cooked, making it ready to eat out of the package. It is commonly sliced and served cold in sandwiches or salads, and can also be included in stews or cooked dishes for added flavor.

The Secret

It is mostly used for cold cuts and eaten with bread or served grilled or fried. No matter if cold or hot, the "Lyoner" is part and parcel of cooking in the Saarland.
