A ''Schlachtfest'' is the German term for the ritual or ceremonial slaughter of an animal, which is often followed by feast. Today, it usually refers to the practice in many parts of Germany, such as the Palatinate, for a celebration or festival involving the ceremonial slaughter of a pig reared or bought by a private household or an inn for that purpose. The menu for such a ''Schlachtfest'' in the Palatinate includes soup (''Metzelsuppe''), various sausages (''Pfälzer Leberwurst, Blutwurst'' and ''Bratwurst''), liver dumplings (''Leberknödel''), boiled belly pork (''Wellfleisch'') and ''Sauerkraut''. It was common when a pig was slaughtered at home that ''Metzelsuppe'' was given as a gift to neighbours, often in milk churns. Frequently the neighbours bought some of the fresh sausages so produced. Wine was drunk with the meal. The slaughter of a pig by an inn was called a ''Schlachtfest''. Within the village everyone knew it was happening because a pig's bladder would be hung up outside. Occasionally this is still the case today. The organisation of a ''Schlachtfest'' at home and giving ''Metzelsuppe'' and sausages to family members and neighbours is still fairly common today in the German-speaking world e.g. in Swabia or Lower Saxony. == External links == * (Report about the Schlachtfest month of November ) * (Report about a historic Schlachtfest in Delmenhorst ) * (Report about Schlachtfeste in a village in Swabia in the Ehninger home calendar, Entry: February 1953 ) ca:Matança del porc es:Matanza de los Oteros es:Matanza del cerdo fr:Saint Cochon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schlachtfest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
