What is the correct name for a person that is a specialized meat cutter or curer?

[Tehama]

Hi all! I've tried googling this, but my spelling is hopelessly off - no hits!

What is the correct spelling / term for - what I think - is a specialized meat cutter, and maybe also perfects seasonings on meat cuts?

It is something like chartrussiere, but I know that isn't correct. Many thanks!

In Italiano: Salumieri or Macellieri
En Français: Charcutier or Boucher
In English: Butcher or "Sausage Dude" ;) adam

Auf Deutsch:

butcher = metzger
butcher shop = metzgerei
sausage maker = Wursthersteller

[bushwickgirl]

While we're at it, in Spanish:
Butcher: carnicero
Butcher store: carniceria
Sausage maker: fabricante de salchichas

I think "charcutier" is only for pork --there is also "boucher", a butcher.

[soupkitten]

the literal translation to english of the word charcutier is "pork butcher," however this name has come to mean a specialist who does all manner of charcuterie, including sausages, terrines, pates and meat curing, no matter what type of animal the meat comes from. "boucher" is a more generalized meat cutting specialist who does not do as much finishing work.

Soupkitten, I've seen this word before (though I did not know it was the answer to the question, LOL) Can you help with the pronunciation now, please?
