Lachsschinken (salmon ham), a German product, not actually a ham, for it is made from pork loin. This is lightly salted, smoked, rolled, and encased in bacon fat. It has a pink colour, as its name suggests, and is eaten raw. Similar products are made in Poland, and in France, where it is called filet de Saxe (Saxon fillet).
