> [@velvetjones](#): > > When I was growing up my dad used to make braunschweiger sandwiches. Rye bread, brown mustard (never mayo!) braunschweiger and raw onion. No one else in the family like them but now that I’m older it sounds interesting. This is my favorite. I’m fussy about the rye bread and the mustard. If it’s an option I like an almost paper thin slice of red onion. I also like it on some dense crusty bread, small slices, like french bread. Having said that’s a favorite sandwich, I only crave it once every 18 - 24 months. In fact, I think I’m just about due. I’ll only buy enough braunschweiger for one sandwich. The rest of the rye will be toasted and eaten with butter. ---

> [@Wile\_E](#): > > I love that you just joined to tell us about that in a 4 year old thread. It must have been really good. Welcome! Try some of the fresher threads, too. Seconded. In fact, if the OP still has any of that tube left, throwing it out would probably be the best option. Of course, back in 2010, I would have suggested returning to the deli and trying to trade it in for something made out of food. ---

I love Oscar Mayer liver sausage. But it’s either not being made any more, or it’s just that none of the supermarkets around here carry it. Either way ☹ ---

When I raised pigs, I would always asked for the braunschweiger to be smoked twice. So, so tasty! Braunschweiger on dark rye or pumpernickel with limburger, red onion, and coarse brown mustard. No one will come near you for a day and a half, but its worth it. ---

I might give that spread a try. How is it that I _never_ notice that a thread’s a zombie??? I did once, but that was only because the poster mentioned getting a perm at a beauty parlor. ---

I did once, but that was only because the poster mentioned getting a perm at a beauty parlor. I posted in it originally and knew it wasn’t recent. When I saw norinew’s post at the top of page 2 that confirmed that it had been a while. ---

I grew up in a small college town in Indiana during the 70’s. At the time there was a real deli that made their sandwiches with ‘egg buns’ (some sort of yellow bread). Put 2 slices of braunschweiger and some german mustard in the bun, grab a big ole pickle slab, and a can of coke, and voila - the perfect braunschweiger sandwich:) ---

smear some on pumpernickel rye add thinly sliced onion (red ) and a dollop of your favorite (Guldens) mustard. leave the bread out and slice extra onions, you’ll be going back for more!
