Cervelat, also spelled Zervelat or Servelat (from Latin cerebellum, meaning brain, via Italian cervellata) is a German or Swiss sausage originally made of pork and brain. Today, brain is no longer included, however.
The German variety is a raw sausage made of minced pork, beef and bacon, seasoned, salted and cold smoked for one day. The Swiss variety, however, is a cooked sausage made of ten parts minced beef, bacon and pork rind, and eight parts ice. It is slightly smoked and then boiled.
