Keep in mind that Fleischsalat is different from Wurstsalat. The main difference is that Fleischsalat is made with mayo to be creamy while Wurstsalat is made with a simple vinaigrette as the dressing.
That’s a rather strange word to use in the context of beef, because they don’t really have anything resembling human lips. Which part of this, exactly, would you consider “lips”?
I think mouth, or perhaps snout, is a more accurate description here. Anyways, that’s the picture I found on Wikipedia when I looked for more information on where this meat might come from. Apparently it can also include the inner parts of the mouth, however, not the tongue, that’s considered a separate cut.
I’m nit entirely sure but when I saw the package of meat in the grocery store it said “beef lips” and had a stringy looking meat inside. I assume it is the lower lip since the upper seems too small for what I saw.
The recipe you’ve linked has more than two ingredients. To say that it’s ‘mayo on sliced sausage’ is misleading. We Germans are a smidgen more sophisticated than that.
The onions are optional (frankly never heard of it being used Fleischsalad although it could give it a nice bite), pickle juice and sugar is just used flavor the mayo, salt and pepper to taste is standard for pretty much anything savory. The only REAL other ingredient here are the pickles.
So yes, Mr. German Police, you’re technically correct (of course), but I will count this as an off by one since you COULD just put the sausage, pickles, and mayo together and already have a decent approximation of the dish.
I’m off by one, you’re off by one - shall we split the difference and I’ll overlook that even being merely technically correct I’m still closer than you, who’s both technically and objectively incorrect?
People like you are literally the reason I don’t live in Germany anymore.
You sound like the kind of person who’d chew out his neighbor if their kids make as much as a peep during Mittagsruhe but start mowing the lawn at 7am simply because it’s legal.
But Germans have litterally every kind of salad.
Germans will literally put mayonnaise on sliced sausage and call that a salad.

You put it on bread though, like ham. “Salat” here just means mixture.
There’s also Bandsalat which most people don’t eat:
So it’s the same idea as tuna salad?
Pretty similar, yeah.
TWO salads*
There’s also Ochsenmaulsalat which is basically just thinly sliced beef mouth with vinaigrette and onions.
I’ve never heard of “beef mouth” as a cut of meat. What meat is it from? Tongue, cheek, etc…
I love beef cheek if it’s cooked right. Low and slow.
And I’m not super familiar with cuts of the head but it’s gotta be check because tongue would be a different word.
It could be lips, also. I have seen beef lips in one of my local carnecerias (Mexican meat market).

C’mon, no cop is going to give you that deal.

Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.
Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.
Says the guy who literally got his panties in a twist because I forgot to mention the pickles in a Fleischsalat while making a JOKE.
I pointed out that your JOKE was shit. You’re the one who started calling me names, so don’t lecture me on twisted knickers.
Yeah, I don’t get that one either. As a German I’ve seen plenty of “Nudelsalate” which have pasta and mayonnaise.
