I’ve seen Braunschweiger. I don’t think it’s exactly the same thing as Liverwurst.
Liverwurst is the general name, with or without smokiness. Braunschweiger is smoked a little (almost imperceptively, IME). I’ve had braunschweiger and liverwurst in the same brand side by side and couldn’t notice a difference - can’t remember anymore whether they were Oscar Meyer or Morrell.
Thanks, maybe I’ll try it!
Those plus Danish-Go-Rounds were some of my favorite junk foods back in the 60s.
When I was a kid in the 80s my parents would buy these saltine squares for me. Not the small squares they sell in stacks today but a big square that was composed of four of the small saltine squares. Anyone else remember these?

The Committee strikes again.
The ones I’m familiar with come two to a box, sometimes four. Not bad, considering what they are.
That’s a Detroit thing, AFAIK.
One answer for me: Product-19. There is nothing even remotely close to replace it and and unlike an old recipe you cannot replicate it.
One retro food I didn’t realized I missed until it was on a menu in a restaurant: pot roast on cheap-ass white bread covered in brown gravy.
I do live in the greater Detroit area, so that checks out.
+1, like, QFT, etc.
To this day my favorite breakfast cereal.
I still look for those. It was a real skill to butter one without it breaking up.
There are at least two brands easily had in my area: Tyson or Barber.
I never thought of the raw egg connection. Every carbonara around me is just Alfredo sauce except for one restaurant.
And you can get a pot roast sandwich at Culver’s
I have found them foursquare from the Philippines at Asian food markets.
My Beloved, raised back east by wild kosher delis, says that she can easily tell one from the other-braunschweiger is spicier.
Good Humor Toasted Almond Bars, which were discontinued a few years back. I actually wrote to Trader Joes to try to convince them to recreate them for their brand.
One of my favorites growing up that I can no longer find is pre-mixed Pineapple/Grapefruit juice.
Occasionally I have a taste for liverwurst (on rye with thinly sliced onion). Generally I settle for John Morrell Braunschweiger, which is what my local grocery store carries. However, the local Wegman’s carries real Liverwurst, if I feel like splurging; it costs $8 for a 1-lb chub.
