Braunschweiger-- how to?
 

Hey,
I just got back from helping slaughter 4 pigs at my friend's farm and no one wanted the livers, so I now have about 10 or 15 pounds of pig livers. I want to make liverwurst or braunschweiger and I looked at the google for recipes. Most call for boiling the mess, but I am told it is supposed to be smoked. I'm going for authenticity rather than easy/convenient. Ya know slow food and all that.

Anyone have actual experience mit da braunschweig?

viele danke

Um. Gross.

oh, damn. my grandmother used to eat that slop. heinus! she used to threaten me with it. i'd rather eat a bag of smashed assholes!

Are you guys sure you are talking about liverwurst?
rye bread? mustard? helleaux?

I love the stuff f^3. I'm interested to hear how it turns out.

Nothing beats a killer liverwurst sammich. Except maybe liverwurst pate.

That's my favorite sammich for lunch. I add mayo, cayanne pepper and my own version of pesto in a whole wheat burrito wrap. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lunchhhhhhh.

That and, based on your location, I probably live 10 minutes away from you.

I'm liking the wurst as well but have no idea how to make it.

Take a look here. It's the only one I've seen that mentioned smoking. It's Polish, but you can probably adapt it with the seasonings you choose to use.
A word of warning: most of the recipes call for the stuff to be made and used in a very short time period, or the stuff degrades. Be careful, or the gods of food poisoning will have something to say about it!

I do like the liverwurst, but a little goes a long way.

Warning: If you make a Kishka, you must keep it locked up!:rolleyes:

I know that it's not liverwurst by a longshot, but I have a particular childhood fondness for the Oscar Mayer Braunschweiger in the little plastic tube ... gimme one of those and a stack of crackers and I'm good to go. I don't like the deli sliced stuff even half as much. Totally different texture and taste, IMHO.

There is nothing sensible about childhood comfort foods, except that it's all about the senses.
