I’ve never tried cooking either, so I can’t help you. ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > ive never tried cooking liverwurst or braunschweiger … does it do anything for the occasional too irony taste that happens ? I can’t say whether it does anything about the iron-taste level, but I just had some heated for supper: reheating mashed sweet potato, topped with butter and grated Parmesan cheese, with a side of cut-up liverwurst slice, the plateful zapped in the microwave for a minute. And it all was delicious. The heating really ramped up the liverwurst flavor. ETA: Next time I’ll have to try slathering the liverwurst slice with the bacon jam. ---

_Bakleverworst_ (fried breaded liverwurst) is a regional dish in the Netherlands district of Twente, and it is quite tasty, warm on toast. Can’t say it was particularly iron-y. ---

Note it’s a particular (coarse) kind of liver sausage, so take that into account and don’t use the spreadable kind of wurst. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Stonewall Kitchen also offers Bourbon bacon jam (haven’t tried it yet) and maple bacon aioli (fabulous). They also offer a bacon gift set: I haven’t tried (nor seen locally) any of that, but Stonewall Kitchen makes a lot of great stuff. They have a roasted apple applesauce that is fantastic with porcetta or any kind of pork roast or even with pork chops. As for liverwurst, there’s an herbed kind that is quite good. I usually have it on crackers but it also makes a great sandwich once in a while. But the absolute king of liverwurst-type stuff that IMHO has no equal is authentic Jewish chopped liver. Every once in a long while, Pusateri’s – the upscale boutique grocery that I sometimes go to – get chopped liver from Moishe’s, a famous old Montreal deli. Usually just on some Jewish holidays. It’s just indescribably awesome – a taste so refined that it actually has two tastes, an initial impression and lovely lingering aftertaste. ---

Central Market (South Texas grocery monopoly HEB’s upscale sibling) offers house-made Jewish-style chopped liver at Passover. It is yummy! Even if you hate liver prepared any other way (which I do). ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Central Market (South Texas grocery monopoly HEB’s upscale sibling) offers house-made Jewish-style chopped liver at Passover. Yes, the last time I saw authentic Moishe’s chopped liver at Pustateri’s was indeed around Easter, which I believe more or less coincides with Passover. At that time I lived fairly close to their flagship store and went back the next day to get more. Which I inhaled while moaning in delight. Then went back to get more. And there was no more! Ever after. I may have to start prowling Jewish neighbourhoods that have authentic-looking delis and sample their chopped liver, though it’s hard to believe anyone could create the pure delight of Moishe’s! 😋 ---

It’s not at all hard. I’m gentile, so may not be the best to consult for chopped liver, but I have had it at Jewish delis and made it myself several times. The only difficult part is getting schmaltz. I save it from making stock and broth and put it in a small Corelle dish in the fridge to fry up all sun and sundry. But comes in handy for this and matzoh balls. My Polish grocery used to sell it, too, but now it’s just duck and goose fat. (And lard, but, yeah, Jewish and all that). I’ve never tried it with the other fowl fat, but I bet it would be fine with that, too. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > Note it’s a particular (coarse) kind of liver sausage, so take that into account and don’t use the spreadable kind of wurst. The liverwurst carried by the local grocery stores is the kind that comes in a solid round log from which slices are cut in the deli section. I can ask for extra thick slices to try this. ---

I’m eating one right now. Actually, two. They _are_ surprisingly good. I’m not an Oreo fan in general, but these are pretty nice. (I have them because one of my daughters is into them.) ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > _Bakleverworst_ (fried breaded liverwurst) is a regional dish in the Netherlands district of Twente, and it is quite tasty, warm on toast. I read somewhere of sauteing slices of goose liver pate until they’re kind of browned on each side and serving it with red jam. I’ve tried it with duck liver pate and goose liver pate, with a bit of raspberry or blackberry jam, and it was _superb_. Browning it improves it the same as browning pan-sauteed liver. I haven’t yet made it with regular grocery store liverwurst. ---
