Leberwurst
From Free net encyclopedia
Leberwurst (liverwurst in English-speaking countries), literally meaning "liver sausage," is a typical sausage served in Germany and the Netherlands (Leverworst). This sausage is usually made with pork. Only about 10-20 % of the sausage is actually pork liver, which is enough to give it a distinctive liver taste. Other ingredients are meat, fat and some other organs. Every region in Germany has its own recipe for Leberwurst, often adding ingredients like pieces of onions or bacon. Braunschweiger is a spreadable liver sausage that is sometimes called liverwurst or just liver sausage in the U.S.
"Kalbsleberwurst", though the name translates to "calf liver sausage", normally does not contain the liver of calves, but of pigs. It only has to contain veal.
