Eichsfelder

[sapper299]

I have been looking for the spice mix for Eichsfelder Feldkieker sausage. Its a dry cure sausage from middle Germany and a favorite of mine while stationed there in the 80's. Everything I have found has a lot of ground caraway seed, but from my memory, I did not taste that much, Coriander yes, but caraway is such a distinct flavor I think I would have remembered it. Either way, does anyone have any experiance with making this?

I have never made it, but I found this:

The sausage carries a PGI designation so finding the regulations for how it is made should not be an issue. That recipe has caraway but you can fiddle with the percentage to your liking.

Yes it was. Matter of fact, I was in Michigan visiting family and stopped at Kerns Sausage in Frankenmuth and picked up some Thuringer, blood sausage, Lieberkase and some cheese. The Thuringer I had was very similar but missing that Coriander citrus flavor of the FeldKeiker
