After the loss of the war in 1864, Germans moved to the newly occupied Southern Jutland, amongst them where skilled sausage makers.
Each sausage maker had his own recipes who were passed down from father to son and it is these recipes which grounded one of the most famous product still known today; the South Jutland sausage.
There has been few alterations to the recipes through time, however descendants followed the development and today there are all sorts of tastes amongst sausages. One of the most famous and beloved sausages of South Jutland is Kartoffelspegepølsen (sausage containing meat, seasoning and boiled potato)
Other famous sausages are the Ringriderpølse, developed in 1929 especially for the tilting-at-the-ring festival, Sønderborg Ringridning, by the local slaughter Ludwig Marburger. Since then, the use has been expanded from being served only during ringridning to being a regular treat at all outdoor events, such as sporting events, raising the rooftree ceremonies and private garden parties.
The cabbage sausage or Kålpølsen is another famous cousin. In spite the name there is no cabbage in the sausage itself but it is mostly served as part of the traditional dish in Southern Jutland at New Year’s Eve with stewed curly-leaf kale and glazed potatoes, boiled ham and at some homes also boiled side bacon served cold.
