Anyone eat Braunschweiger?

[odanny]

Just bought some and had some for the first time since I was a kid, it's not bad, a smoked pork liver sausage in a casing. Not sure what to add to it but crackers, some people use it as a spread, I'm just hand eating slices of it.

It is right up there with sardines and I eat those too.

I've had it mixed with ham, potatoes, grapes and olives on toast.

Isn't that the same as Liverwurst?
I ate it for a while when younger, then lost my taste for it.

On crackers with a dry red.

I think the difference is that Braunschweiger is smoked, and is more of a spread than liverwurst is. I'm not 100% sure though.

Hmmm. Well, I know my momma used to buy liverwurst. I'd spread it on bread like Deviled Ham and put a thick layer of mayo on it and make a sandwich. I think she bought some Braunschweiger once, I don't remember liking it or disliking it though.

But I lost my taste for those things in my 20's, along with sardines and hard biscuits. BLAH. I'll just say, I'd eat Elly Mae's biscuits before my mommas biscuits........they were rock hard!

LOL

Sardines--- excellent chopped up and mixed with fine chopped onion spread on a cracker.

Sardine TarTar??? LOL

Most of the Braunschweiger sold today is nothing more than cracker sized bologna.

Don't get wound up by it. Unless you want it for some sort of charcuterie platter. Then by all means please do.

As a sandwich sliced, with onions, mayo and a bit of mustard. YUM

Careful . Very high calorific value ..

Mein mutter war Deutsch .

And the fridges always have a selection of German, Polish and Romanian wursts in them .
And body parts .

 

[iamwhatiseem]

It is horrendous.
I cannot stand the taste of liver, that minerally stench flavor/smell... you might as well eat a poop log.

[odanny]

Last night I toasted a huge slice of sourdough bread that I cut a little on the thick side, and spread some of my braunschweiger on it. Oh my gosh, was that good! May I recommend you all try some for yourself.

I eat nearly everything "prohibited" by the chosen(self chosen) as well as those who weareth thy diaper on thy head.

Well, what the meat production facilities sweep off the floor and put into a food processor is a bit different from well chosen animal innerds for German sausages.

LOL

Thanx for the Info!

I know all those sorts - but not yet the name "Braunschweiger".

EXCERPTS:
As with a ton of German sausages, or most sausages for that matter, many of them are often confused for the other, or the two terms are used interchangeably. Liverwurst and Braunschweiger is a perfect example of this.

Here in the USA, they are often labeled the same or both. Especially if national brand such as found in supermarkets. Can vary more if made local by a butcher/meat shop.

I'm fond of it, ever since I was a kid.

One of my cats is also fond of it. Asks for it nearly daily.
