About 5 years ago, I stayed in Hannover, Germany for a month at hotel named Gasteresidenz PelikanViertel. The hotel used to serve some excellent complimentary breakfast fare.

One of the items on the menu was this dish that one could slather on a croissant before eating. It seemed to have the following:

- Mayo base
- Thin slices of Ham...I was having ham for the first time so had no idea what it was
- Thin slices of some crunchy green produce, possibly Dill pickle, sliced thin like the Ham above

The whole thing has a tarty flavor.

Could you please help me identify this?

Hmm, been googling for a Ham and Gherkin dip of some sort. Have found a couple of recipes but can't seem to find a picture of the said dish.

Just curious, have you considered contacting the hotel? You might get lucky if you shoot them an email - they may even send you the recipe.

Truth be told, I had not thought about that till yesterday. After I opened this thread, I realized I could ask the hotel but I could not find an email address. I do not think they even have their own website.

Your description should have stated that it was a mixture.

This is what you had: Fleischsalat

We had a German exchange student in our home for a year and she used to make a salad which she would spread on either crackers or bread. It had chopped up prosciutto, chopped watercress, mayo and lime juice mixed together for the dressing. Sometimes she would spread this on a couple other slices of prosciutto and roll it up and eat it. Other times she would add a small bit of chopped kosher dill pickle.

She ate this for any meal. Her tastes were definitely different than ours. I cringed when she ate nutella on her bread and toast for breakfast.
