Catalan term or phrase: embotits crus i adobats
If I went by my dictionary, I'd have "raw and pickled sausages"! Is it not referring to things like xoriço? Whereas "raw meat" makes me think of meat that needs cooking before being eaten.

cold cuts/cold meats and sausages
Explanation:
I've often used this translation for "embotits" and never had any problem with it. "Embotits" encompasses a lot more than just plain "sausages".

You could also use \"cured\" for \"adobats\", i.e. cured meats and sausages

Explanation:
Debo diferir de Martin en alguna parte: embotit siempre es, según yo, una preparación de sangre, carne, grasa y a veces preparaciones especiales que "se meten dentro de una tripa" (de ahí "embutir"), sea la que sea, y que se dejan secar. Por lo tanto, no son cold meats... un jamón serrano no es un embutido.
Ahora bien, estamos de acuerdo en que sausages no abarca de ninguna manera la variedad culinaria de los embutidos catalanes, eso que ni qué. ¡Mi reino por un fuet!
