To me, Karl Holch's butcher shop is unique for one reason above all others: it's the only butcher shop in the world that I know of that actually slices yellow sausage in natural casings. For that alone, the shop really deserves an innovation award.
From the outside, everything looks pleasantly down-to-earth, but inside, you'll find an assortment that leaves even die-hard sausage lovers momentarily speechless with awe. Fresh meat and sausage products, a small hot food counter for those sudden cravings, and a selection that regularly has you heading home with more than you originally planned.
The prices may be a bit higher than at discount stores. In return, however, you get meat quality that doesn't need to be explained in advertising flyers. Here, you can taste pretty quickly what you're paying for.
The canned sausages are particularly dangerous. You actually buy one to stock up. Then a second one. And suddenly you have a small strategic sausage stash for unforeseen emergencies.
The staff are incredibly friendly and patiently offer advice even when you're standing at the counter saying for the third time, "Actually, I only wanted to buy a little something today."
On top of that, there are regular sales that effectively undermine the wallet's reputation as a natural brake.
I suspect, anyway, that the butcher shop operates on a simple business model: First, they lure customers in with outstanding quality, then they make sure that when they leave the store, they suddenly have significantly more sausage than they planned to buy when they walked in.
Bottom line: Outstanding quality, friendly service, a great selection, and canned sausage that would likely still be traded even after the end of civilization. A butcher shop just the way you'd want it. read more
