What it is
This is a type of cooked sausage, often referred to as a 'Doktorskaja' or 'Doctor's Sausage'. It is typically made from a finely emulsified mixture of pork and beef, seasoned with a blend of spices. The texture is smooth and uniform, with a pale pink color. It is a pre-cooked product, meaning it is ready to eat straight from the package or can be heated. The sausage casing is usually edible.
