A Schlachteplatte, Schlachtplatte, Schlachtschüssel (Southern German), or Metzgete (Swiss and southwestern part of Baden-Württemberg in Germany) is a hearty German dish that primarily consists of boiled pork belly (Kesselfleisch) and freshly cooked Blutwurst and Leberwurst sausages. The cooking process produces sausage juices which, together with any split sausages, are used as a soup known as Metzelsuppe. As a result, in many places, e.g., in parts of the Palatinate, the entire festival and the meal in particular are known as Metzelsupp.
