Warum ist "Lachs-Fleisch" aus Schweinefleisch "Schweinfleisch"? Ein guter Marketingtrick oder etwas anderes? https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1ez986l Von Fluid_Peace_6192
SufficientMacaroon1 on 23.08.2024 10:25 AM “Lachsschinken” is a type of ham. I think the Lachs part refers to the look of it, rather than any ingredient. In this case, i assume that there is a reason why this item cannot be labled as “Schinken”, so it became “Lachsfleisch” instead
Babayagaletti on 23.08.2024 10:25 AM Because the word Lachs in [Lachsschinken](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachsschinken) means [pork loin](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachs_(Fleisch)) and not the fish. It’s just two different things having the same name.
HerrMagister on 23.08.2024 10:31 AM The word “Lachs” can also mean a part of the back muscle of pork, but also veal and lamb. So no marketing trick. Just the german language being drunk again.
Meinkoi94 on 23.08.2024 10:32 AM lachs in that case as others have pointed out refers to that its tender cut and thin, evoking the look of smoked salmon. its not the only case where lachs is used wen its actually meat, such as [Lammlachs](https://filiale.kaufland.de/ernaehrung/lebensmittellexikon/lammlachs.html) which is the most tender part of lamp
