This is what I tell people: it is not that salty and I taste a bit of sweetness with it (that sort of mild sweetness, hope you know what I mean).

If I travel to Germany in the future, I would love to try Mett. That's one dish people here sometimes turn their heads at, however it sounds very nice from the descriptions.

I think more people should consider the whole "when in Rome, live as the Romans do" idea when traveling, food is a great way to appreciate a country or area.

Mett is quite popular where I live (Berlin). It's basically just ground pork seasoned with a little salt. Absolutely nothing special tastewise, but when you grow up with it, it becomes sort of a comfort food. We put it on freshly baked sliced in half "Brötchen", add pepper and onions and sometimes pickles as well, depending on personal preference. Me and my pals sometimes jokingly call it "Nothack", literally "emergency minced meat", implying you always need some of it within easy reach.
