Aufschnit is a combination of different meat slices...like a variety pack
from the butcher. If you order it with ham, it costs extra.

Does anyone have any history on the word "aufschnit"?

It's not in the OED CD-ROM.  My best description is that it is a cross
between bologna and souse, that it, a bologna-like sausage with pieces of
unsausaged meat in it, and tastes better than generic bologna.

The aufschnit I met was glatt kosher and therefore beef.
