A British processed meat product similar to pâté or meatloaf, traditionally made from pork offal, seasonings, and herbs, formed into a loaf.
From French 'hachis' (chopped meat) and Old French roots, with the English diminutive -let suffix added. British culinary terminology evolved from Norman French influences post-1066.
Hasslet reveals how British cuisine preserves medieval food traditions—it's basically a survival of old peasant cooking when 'nose-to-tail' eating was necessity, not fashion. You can still buy them in British butcher shops, mostly unchanged from the Middle Ages.
