A variant or alternate spelling (usually archaic or regional) referring to a type of food, possibly a cured sausage or preserved meat product.
Likely from Germanic or Romance language roots, possibly related to Old High German or Latin; historical records suggest this as a processed meat term.
Medieval food terminology was wildly inconsistent—the same sausage might be called different things in the same region across decades, which is why historians have to detective-work through old menus.
