Cervelat or Cervelas--The Original Cold Cut


Cervelat, or Cervelas, a large kind of Sausage, well season'd and eaten cold in slices.

The Court & Country Cook, François Massialot, 1702, «C» A Table Explaining the Terms of Art, &c.

Summer sausage is it's modern equivalent, but we are really talking about «cold cuts» of previously cooked, smoked or fermented Charcuterie.

  6. This was a fascinating read! I really appreciated the historical context behind cervelat/cervelas—it's not often that we get to explore the origins of traditional cold cuts in such detail. The blend of ingredients and preparation methods you described really shows how culinary traditions evolve while still honoring their roots. Looking forward to trying this at home sometime. Thanks for sharing such a rich piece of food history!
