Do you guys eat Liver-paste in America? Or other Places for that matter :)

I am eating it right now, on bread, With bacon and pepper on one Slice, and pickles on top of the Paste on the other :)

Just curious, it is "very" popular here in Norway, plus the rest of Scandinavia I believe. Maybe rest of Northern Europe too.

It is a popular delicacy here, yes. I've had it many times at nicer/upscale restaurants. I like it but don't necessarily seek it out. My wife really enjoys it.

It is not very upscale here just the same as ham and cheese on bread. We have many variations of it, I think it is very good sometimes, but not too often, and when I read the ingridients. I sort of want something else.. He..He.. :D

No, animal right people get their panties in a wad as to how it's made.

Had it in France though. Tasty.

It is just made of "left-overs" so I dont understand why they should. It is better to eat all from animals than just the meat and "throw the rest", if you understand. I dont think modern factorys throw anything away though, they just grind all up and add it in some tv-dinner or pre-made meatballs.. And Call it meat.. Yuck.. But there is a lot of animal cruelty on many modern Food factorys, but sadly it is hard to turn around if we are gonna eat as much as we do AND keep the price Down..

Basically it is ground pork liver, With added fat/lard and eggs, and then theres the added different meats and often anchovies for taste, and then other flavouring for the type, like spices, bacon or whatever for special variations, atleast here, but there is probably many different recipes other Places.

You're thinking of foie gras that's controversial.

I think you mean liverwurst. It is cheap and not on the same level as foie gras.

Yeah! We call it Bologna!! LOL -- basically whatever the butcher tosses away in the scrap bin --- and grinds it to paste and adds some (okay - a lot) of salt...


Fancy name is Liverwurst -- best sandwich ever! Much more popular on the east coast than on the west coast of the USA.

Goose-liver. Thats is forbidden to make here, and that I can understand, they "powerfeed" the goose With pipes Down there stomach, so the liver gains fat and get 10 times as big as it can naturally, or about there atleast.. But I think we can import it..

Like a liver sausage, I have not eaten that, here it is more of a spread is it spread it is called? We "spread" it on the bread atleast, like you would With butter :) But it is probably more or less the same, but these are low in salt, 2% or less usually. :)

Okay, here it is, how it looks, in all its glory! :D

Added: This over heres Ingridients: 29% Pig liver, 21% Meat from Pig Head, 18%Pickles(special for this) 5% Pig meat, and the rest is Anchovis, ketchup, onion, garlic etc.. This has no "left-overs" except maybe the 5% meat probably is from un-usable meat Places on the Pig, I would Guess, but if it were Mechanicaly Deboned/Separated Meat they must print it I believe, so it should be real meat. :)

Boy, what childhood memories you bring back. I'm Danish and my mom used to make it from scratch. I never really cared for it though. There's a Danish deli in Berkeley, CA called Nordic House that sells the real homemade stuff but I'd rather have Medisterpoelse any day. Thanks for the flashback!

I'm second generation Scandinavian (Norwegian/Swedish) and I love liverwurst/liverpaste sandwiches, pickle, little mayo, liverwurst, lettuce, good bread. There is nothing better. My wife hates it, so I don't get it all that often.

My mom is big into the liverwurst and liver paste. She's originally from Poland and they love it there.
I usually it eat once in a while. Not crazy about it, but it is good for you.
