Regional variations
Eisbein is usually sold already cured and sometimes smoked, and then used in simple hearty dishes. Numerous regional variations exist, for example in Berlin it is served with pease pudding.[1] In southern parts of Germany it is usually roasted. In Franconia it is commonly served with mashed potatoes or sauerkraut, in Austria with horseradish and mustard instead.
Etymology
The German name (literally: 'ice leg') has associations with the practice of using a pig's leg-bone for ice skating. In southern Germany, the common preparation is known as Schweinshaxe.
In other countries
The Polish cuisine's golonka, '(little shin)' or golonko and the Swedish cuisine's fläsklägg med rotmos are very similar, alternatively grilled on a barbecue. Other similar dishes include the Swiss cuisine's Wädli and the Austrian cuisine's Stelze.
