Do The Eagles Eat This?

The processed meats coolers at Woodman's hold many delights. Some are unexpected. For instance, I recall noticing Albanian sausage made here in Madison on one trip. On another I spied a small selection of kishka way up on a top shelf. More recently I discovered Yachtwurst (Jagdwurst) from Usinger's in Milwaukee.

There are countless types of wurst. I don't know how the Germans keep up with them all. This is a cold cut and Wikipedia says the addition of pistachio nuts, as Usinger's does here, is a southern German thing.

As you can see, the grind is very coarse. Pistachios were rather sparse. Seasoning was mild. Salt, pepper, and garlic seemed evident but paprika and other spices were on the label. However, I couldn't make out what they were. (A dash or coriander, perhaps?) I'd like to try frying up a couple slices of this stuff. As it is, I've been eating a slice or 2 cold for breakfast which seems rather Deutsch.
