Haslet

British pork product


In British English, haslet or acelet is a pork meatloaf with herbs, originally from Lincolnshire. The word is derived from the Old French hastilles meaning entrails. In Lincolnshire, haslet (pronounced '/ˈhæslɪt/' locally) is typically made from stale white bread, minced pork, sage, salt and black pepper.[1] It is typically served cold with pickles and salad, or as a sandwich filling. In England, it is occasionally sold on a delicatessen counter.[citation needed]

Welsh haslet is traditionally made from finely minced potatoes, pigs' liver and onions.[2][3]

In North American English, "haslet" refers to the "edible viscera of a butchered animal".[4]
