Braunschweiger-- how to?

footfootfoot · 01-20-2007, 01:49 PM

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

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

Braunschweiger-- why would?

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.

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.
