Printed in various shades of red, this clever design twists type into the shape of a sausage to promote Metzgete at a local restaurant. Metzgete is a traditional Swiss meal featuring various nose-to-tail preparations of a freshly-slaughtered pig, all accompanied by potatoes and sauerkraut. Kühne printed this poster as a linocut using his own letterpress.
