Re: What is a 'Hubertusrolle' when it's at home?

Update: I found some more of these in the Volg last week (long after St. Hubert's day - unless there are two Sts. Hubert?) and we had them for pre-Thanksgiving nibbles.

Oven was full of "Alpentruthahn" AKA "turkey for two" AKA guinea hen, so I did them in a frying pan this time, and they are yummy that way too.

(Still curious about the name / exact composition / possibility of making from scratch though...)
And it was all delicious, I might add!

It looks like what makes a Hubertusrolle a Hubertusrolle (and not just an ordinary Roulade) is that it contains mushrooms and pork "Mett" and is wrapped in lean pork belly. Since you can't get Mett in Switzerland, you'll have to make do with pork bratwurst meat. I'd make a duxelles, mix it with the bratwurst, and wrap it in some flat meat. Maybe the butcher shop whose name starts with an H in the next village south of you can get you something practical. Then I'd roast the whole mess in the oven.
