A traditional British charcuterie product made from pork meat and offal, seasoned and cooked in a loaf form, similar to brawn or headcheese.
From Old French 'hastelet' meaning a small roasted or cooked piece of meat, related to 'haste' (spit or roast). The dish dates back to medieval European cooking.
Haslet is a perfect example of how poor people used every part of the animal—nothing was wasted—and created delicious, nourishing dishes from scraps, which is why many European cuisines have similar 'offal loaf' traditions.
