Just did a little poking around and found that among other terms in local dialects the accepted term for this is Grützwurst. Apparently every familie had a favorite recipe, but the basics are: Grits or barley, broth, bacon, cubed pork, onions pepper, pigs blood. For the German speakers here is the German wiki on the subject: Grützwurst wiki Merry Christmas, Klaus Dieter Cook Houston, Texas --
