A popular dish in the Philippines is "lechon", roast pork served with a
sweet-sour liver sauce. The sauce can be made with braunschweiger instead of
the canned pate that is often recommended.

Also, it is great on a sandwich with grape jelly.

I enjoy a good bologna sandwich, boar's Head is good, but so are the
Kosher bolognas (no, not the ones sold in stupidmarkets, they're the
same brand names, and they are kosher [of a sort - they start out
kosher], but not even close to the same recipes used for those sold in
kosher delis), kosher foods sold in a store with non kosher items right
along side ain't really kosher... anyone who keeps kosher will never
be convinced that the Hebrew National products sold in a store that
sells pork is still kosher.

In fact I enjoy most cold cuts, I like braunschweiger/liverwurst too (I
like mine on dark dense bread/brot with grainy mustard and lots of raw
onion. I like the loaves too; olive loaf, pickle loaf, pepper loaf,
and one of my all time favorites, head cheese (hey, it's actually quite
healthful (much lower salt and fat than others, plus you can easily
distinguish those nice meat chunks... and all that lovely piquant
gelatine), Boar's Head has the best head cheese... obviously their
namesake. Of course I really like what I call the king of bolognas,
mortadella... Boar's Head is a great one, love those pistachios. And
no, Oscar Mayer is NOT b-o-l-o-g-n-a, their ditty is a lie... all Oscar
Mayer products are the closest thing to Soylent Green.

Yes, Oscar Mayer bologna was what I was meaning. Ugh. I like liverwurst
and head cheese too, as well as my all-time favorites - smoked tongue,
together with great corned beef. Would that I had a great kosher deli
nearby - can you still dip kosher pickles out of a barrel, or has that gone
by the wayside?

That's interesting. I've been a braunschweiger freak for over half a
century and never had mustard or pickles with it. Always used mayo and
onion and beer ... lot'sa beer. On crackers or dark rye. (My family used
to call it "chicken liver" ... have no idea why.)

I'll have to give the mustard and/or pickles a try sometime (when my
cardiologist's back is turned). I'll try it with beer ... yeah, that
sounds good. 8^)

Ever tried braunschweiger fried? I did once. Didn't like it much so I
don't think I'll do it again.

Great movie!

There is a local "German" butcher/sausage maker/smokehouse in Montrose
California called Schreiner's. Thank God they are closed by the time I
drive by on the way home or I may have to take out a 2nd mortgage. That is
a place where my eyes are definitely bigger than my stomach.

Their Black Forest Ham, and their salami's are to die for. They have several
different types of braunschweiger/liverwurst including one with
pistachios. They have the only place I have ever tasted Veal Bologna, it is
to die for. Damn I'm getting hungry just thinking about the place.

I would imagine that it'd smell like dog poop when heated. This coming
from someone who used to use it as a spread on white bread (the bread got
really compacted) for years and years. Don't remember when I had it last,
though. My recollection is that it has kind of a gritty texture? Is that
right?

You're not far off there! I got the frying idea from a German cookbook.
The called it "Heisse Leberwurst" .... Hot liverwurst. I don't know if
liverwurst and braunschweiger are the same. What I buy labeled
liverwurst in Cincinnati tastes similar, but perhaps a bit, uh, more
"livery" than braunschweiger. I don't understand why I like this stuff
so much ... liver (beef or pork) kind of turns my stomach.

Yeah, I ate a fair amount on "Wonder Bread" as a kid. The stuff we had
then is pretty much what I get now ... not very gritty ... smooth and
spreadable if you get it in a plastic covered 1 and a half inch sausage
shaped thing. I also find it in a larger diameter plastic casing (2 and
a half in.?). That seems a bit less spreadable so I just slice it.

braunschweiger
[BROWN-shwi-ger, BROWN-shvi-ger]
Named after the German town of Braunschweig, this smoked liver sausage
enriched with eggs and milk is the most famous of the LIVERWURSTS. It's soft
enough to be spreadable and is usually served at room temperature. See also
SAUSAGE.

liverwurst
[LIHV-uhr-wurst, LIHV-uhr-vursht]
A broad term for "liver sausage" referring to well-seasoned, ready-to-eat
sausage made from at least 30 percent pork liver mixed with pork or other
meat. The texture of liverwurst can range from firm enough to slice to
creamy-smooth and spreadable. It can be smoked or plain and comes in large
links, loaves and slices. It's generally used for snacks and sandwiches and
is especially suited to rye bread and crackers. See also SAUSAGE;

Hmmm. I've never heated dog poop...

Yes, some braunschweiger is kind of creamy and kind of gritty at the
same time.

Best regards,

I can't really help Bob except to refine the sandwich. The only way I like
braunschweiger is on a seeded or multi-grain bread with grainy mustard and
bread-and-butter pickles. Very yummy!

I purchased some Bar S bologna, a 2lb. piece cut in the casing and was very
surprised at the quality of it. Bar S makes my favorite supermarket hot dogs
so I shouldn't have been surprised I suppose. Do you have this brand on the
U.S. Eastern Seaboard? It may be a western product. It is very much cheaper
than Boars Head which is too expensive for me to have more often than as a
rare treat.

Depends on the grade... the cheapo stuff can be not only gritty but
also tastes lousy. I don't think braunschweiger will fry up very well,
it has a fairly high fat content, would probably just melt.... kinda
like frying cheese.

On crackers or dark rye. (My family used
to call it "chicken liver" ... have no idea why.)
I'll have to give the mustard and/or pickles a try sometime (when my

Won't the beer make the crackers soggy?

Oh man! I miss braunschweiger and liverwurst and fried chicken livers
and liver & onions and gehackte leber and all that stuff. Organ meats
are verboten to folks who are susceptible to gout.

I'm following-up here. I cut the braunschweiger in fairly thick slices. I
don't spread it.

Sandwiches with mayo and onions.

I despise liver, but I do like braunschweiger on a sandwich. Once I made
the grave mistake of grilling one. OMG, it reverts back to liver when
heated!! One bite and I made a ham sandwich.

I guess I've never tasted the good stuff.

But hey, don't knock fried cheese. I do it all the time, but I nuke it on
parchment paper. Good stuff, Maynard!

Mayo and lots of lettuce on a good white bread.

If you like braunschweiger, try a good liver pate' sometime; you can
find them prepackaged in the deli. I make sandwiches with it, as above.

I tried broiling it, wondering if it would melt. Instead, it got firmer, but
it didn't really taste any better for it. Thinking along those lines, I
might be on to something: How about a hot pastrami and braunschweiger on
rye, with mustard, pickles, and tomato slices?

I think I'll buy some pastrami, rye bread, and tomatoes on the way home from
work...

This was a winner, although I didn't do exactly what I wrote above. I heated
the pastrami slices in my toaster oven. While they were heating, I sliced a
big onion roll (looked better than the rye in the store) and put mustard on
the bottom half. I placed the braunschweiger slices on top of the mustard,
the pastrami on top of the braunschweiger, tomato slices on top of the
pastrami. Then I put some shredded pepper jack cheese on top of the whole
thing. I put some mayo and cheese on the top half. Both halves went into
the toaster oven until the cheese melted. I put kosher dill spears on the
sandwich after it came out of the oven.

Braunschweiger and liverwurst are both basically pate
with a different name on the label. You name the
recipe for pate, it could be worth trying. Teawurst,
too, which is saltier and more spreadable but still
basically pate.

I like to let a little braunschwieger come up to room
temp, mash it up, and use it as a dip for celery sticks
or carrot sticks. Mixing a green herb like tarragon or
dill during the mashing process is nice, too. Makes it
more faithfull to the pate idea.

Other point out that heating it isn't a good idea.
Above room temp I agree but room temp and below not a
problem in my opinion.

Braunschwieger also goes well with capers and/or
anchovies. A little blob makes an okay small topping
on a schnitzel. Vienna schitchel has a caper and an
anchovie as a topping; no idea what it's called when
there's a little blot of pate' instead.

Not exactly. All braunschweiger is liverwurst, but not all liverwurst is
braunschweiger. IIRC, braunschweiger is smoked to some degree. Liverwurst
represents a variety of sausages made from liver.

[LIHV-uhr-wurst, LIHV-uhr-vursht]
A broad term for "liver sausage" referring to well-seasoned,

with pork or other meat. The texture of liverwurst can range from firm
enough to slice to creamy-smooth and spreadable. It can be smoked or
plain and comes in large links, loaves and slices. It's generally used
for snacks and sandwiches and is especially suited to rye bread and
crackers. See also BRAUNSCHWEIGER - the most popular of the

I never have pastrami at home, but I often order a sandwich of pastrami and
chopped liver at the local deli. Delicious! I sometimes buy
braunschweiger for home and usually eat it with a slice of onion and some
mayo on white or rye bread.

Irrelevant to the issue of whether they count as pate
and can be used in most ways that pate can be used.
Most pates found in stores use a liver base, some even a
pork or beef liver base like liverwurst. Some pate
recipes include smoke flavor, some don't, so the
difference between specific braunschweiger and general
liverwurst isn't effected by that point. The fact
that pate recipes without liver exist also doesn't
effect the issue until we get into heating the pate,
thus the mapping from braunschweiger to pate is good
but not complete.

Many pate recipes have nice extras like herbs or wine.
Various types of liverwurst can be moved to similar
functionality by blending herbs or wine into them. Not
an exact match but the OP was asking about alternate
uses not exact matches. Various types of liverwurst
make an okay starting point if your goal is just some
pate rather than a very specific pate recipe.

Going in the opposite direction from the initial post,
as much as I like turkey/chicken/duck/goose liver, I
wonder how much effort it would be to make a pate from
them that would substitute towards use in sandwiches.
Braunschweiger and other types of liverwurst are made
with beef and/or pork livers, but using bird livers
should work okay. Should be straightforward so the
next time I see a package of bird livers on sale while
I'm travelling for work I'll try it.

So what's your point? What is irrelevant to you may not be to someone
else. I don't consider either braunschweiger or liverwurst a pate. Both
are good, but neither is prepared in the style of a pate.

While also not a pate, chopped chicken livers are extremely easy to prepare
and make an excellent filling for sandwiches.
