Braunschweiger

[NFADLR]

Would delete the onions but this is the GOP version.

I love braunschweiger. The family can't stand it unless I turn it into a dip/spread.

braunschweiger spread recipe

1 Pound Braunschweiger
8 oz cream cheese
3/4 Cup mayo (or miracle whip)
Worcestershire Sauce - to taste
Onion Powder - to taste
Garlic Salt - to taste

Mix well with an gasoline mixer. Add seasonings to taste. It will be creamy, and then sets up in the refrigerator.

If refrigerated, it will harden enough to break a cracker. It really needs to be room temperature to use.

Got burnt out on bologna as a kid and never really liked Braunschweiger. My mother loved it with onions and mustard.... of course she also loved to fill a glass with hard pretzels, add milk, then eat the pretzels and drink the salty milk. Never could psyche myself up to try that; it just seems wrong.

My dad's side of the family would eat grandma's skillet corn bread broken up in a big glass with buttermilk poured in. I finally got the nerve to try it one day and about spewed. Guess I didn't like buttermilk.

As a kid and even still today I sometimes crave bologna on white with mustard. I can eat it for a couple of weeks then I'm done for a year. I can do it fried anytime and the wife likes it, too. Sometimes fried bologna corn on the cob and tomato are dinner.

Braunschweiger? Can take it or leave it. If I'm hungry I'll eat it if it's around but given a choice I won't often choose it.

There is a reason that the liver is often the first thing eaten by predators when they take down their prey.

2 orcas slaughter 19 sharks in a single day in South Africa, eating their livers and leaving them to rot

A pair of killer whales has embarked on yet another killing spree, eating the livers of 19 broadnose sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus) and leaving their carcasses to wash ashore off the coast of Pearly Beach, a village located along the southernmost tip of South Africa.

I'm getting hungry!

Been to Germany a few times. Here there are German enclaves and people go to the restaurants and ooh and ah German food. Fucking kraut, potatoes and sausage. I could eat sauerbraten because it's basically chick fried steak

Grew up in the south, and we had a diverse food offering. Red beans and rice with grilled sausage and french bread with chopped onions and tabasco.

I went on a company trip with a guy from Cincy and he couldn't wait to get me to try the chili. It was sort of ok after drinking and needing something to fill your belly. When we got back he gave me a couple of cans of the stuff. Ate it and got sick as a dog.

My greatest memory and greatest regret about living in Fort Worth was Greenwoods German food up the street from my apartment. It was a little mom and pop place with authentic food and specials six nights a week. It really spurned my appetite for German food. I was saddened when I returned to Fort Worth after a couple years later to learn that they'd retired and closed.

Now I live in Garland and there's no German food around here. Which sucks because Jaegerschnitzel with sides of spätzle and rotkol really sounds good right especially with a cold Spaten.

I guess it was in my genes to like braunschweiger. My paternal grandfather's first name was Adolf and he was the first of his family born in the US.

My mom told me that I ate a lot of braunschweiger and bananas as a baby. Mixed together? One after the other? I have no idea.

I had completely forgotten about it until a couple years ago when I saw it on the shelf at the commissary - I bought it without a second thought and make sure to have it in the house ever since. Now that you've brought it up I know what I'm having for lunch today.

Here it's Jalisco/Tex Mex everywhere. I think up your way it's more of the chains like On the Border, Chuys etc. a friend of mine and I were talking one day and pretty much decided that if you don't eat BBQ or Tex Mex, you pretty much don't have many other choices except for chicken fried steak places but those are more out in the county and not the city.

Wife brought home some bologna. Blech. I don't eat that shit either. Got sick off of it when I was about 5 and never ate it since

Never did care for bologna, Always reminded me of a cold, flat hot dog.

There are chicken fried steak places around the countryside of SA?

Must be pert near paradise!

You get a choice of 2 sides. Corn, mashed potatoes or green beans

I am simply mystified at the lack of forum experience with Liverwurst.

At our local Fireman's Field days, for many years, we had a limburger cheese stand, that sold liverwurst, with a slice of raw onion, and a slice of limburger cheese, garnished with hot mustard on rye bread.

With a beer it is still heaven. Probably still my favorite sandwich combo.

I have 3 year old limburger in my fridge, that I keep in two sealed bags. I will buy some Liverwurst this weekend and some clams to steam.

LOL! I am something of a turophile and I would bring "exotic" cheeses to family gatherings.

I was banned from even opening the limburger cheese at my in-laws house. Literally had to take it outside if I wanted to eat it.

Like a box lunch.

Haven't tried Limburger since I was a kid. My memory says it was like trying to eat a turd. I'll have to give it another shot for old times sake.

It helps that the sense of smell diminishes with age. A good Limburger has wonderful, rich, smooth flavor. Much less astringent that blue cheeses. However, I still like a good Stilton better.

 

[Jaxxas]

Just so easy to be cheesy these days!

I'm a big fan of gorgonzola cheese, I just love the name, it's something like Medusa would name her afterbirth.

 

[TenTea]

Three year old Limburger must be getting pretty strong.

The Limburger capital of the US is right down the road in Monroe, WI.

Last time I had some on pumpernickel bread with onion and mustard, the cheese was considered "young" meaning rich, creamy, and soft with a very mild pungence.

My 83 year old neighbor talks about getting scolded by his dad for eating it with his fingers instead of a fork, lol.

Gross… who uses a kindle

I had some the other day and two dogs ate it, one was on the fence and the one who eats damn near everything, including jalapenos, looked at it like a pile of shit.

My Dad loved cornbread in a glass of buttermilk. He also made Braunschweiger sandwiches with mustard and onions. My Mom like the little cans of Liver Wurst. When my Mom cooked liver, she cooked it until it was almost shoe leather. That strong irony taste triggered my gag reflex immediately. So the liver based lunch meats were a no-go for me. The funny thing was I loved stinky aged cheeses. Whether they were dried like parmesan or runny like Brie or Camembert, I couldn't get enough of them. After I had a Navy chef (yes, chef) cook me some liver and onions correctly, I loved it and still eat it today. Two restaurants in town had daily specials. One had Liver and Onions as a Tuesday Lunch special and the other was a 24 hour place that had it on Thursdays. So any shift I could get when I wanted it. Guess I'll buy some Braunschweiger and see if it tastes any better in my old age.

Try the one at Aldi’s, if I may suggest it.

I think it is the better choice.....

I ain't eating that shit. I went to the store today looking for blue cheese after reading this and you can only find crumbles. I think you can't get the real deal here like in france because it has to be pasteurized. Or the rednecks here don't eat it. I bought some cool look pimento and cheese to try on crackers later. Hell surprised they had it. It was a staple growing up after my mother beat my ass because I wouldn't eat it when I was about 5. Learned to eat it with sweet pickles on top so bought a jar of them. I was finicky about anything. Thank god she didn't really eat liver stuff.

I remember 40 or so years ago when I was about 16 going out on a little sailboat that my yankee BIL bought. He was eating a tin of potted meat and was asking me why I wouldn't eat it. I looked at him and said read the ingredients. He actually started gagging. Good times

There are lots of US producers of the real deal. Unfortunately, not many grocery stores carry wedges of "heirloom" cheese. I have only found it in specialty shops and high(er) end grocery stores.

Copy. I went to HEB instead of DG expecting to find it. I hate walking into the grocery store. I want to run over people and their stupid kids with my cart.

Wiener Schnitzel is like chicken fried steak; sauerbraten is marinated pot roast - done well, it's sweet and sour, but if not, it's just sour. Only one good kind of chili here - Empress, which is hard to find. They have a location in Alexandria, KY that used to be by George Clooney U. in Highland Heights that was run by old ladies that gave decent portions and did things right. Now it is run by teens and managed by college kids and it generally ain't all that great, but still worlds better than Gold Star. You should try rouladen and Koenigsberger klopse along with sauerbraten - those are the three best German dishes... oh, Germans make much better goulasch than Hungarians also.

Best sauerbraten I ever made was with a venison roast a friend at work brought me. She hated the stuff but went hunting anyway with her husband and son. That sauerbraten tasted like the Arizona deer ate nothing but raspberries, cherries, and peaches instead of mesquite beans and greaswood leaves!

 

[jdowney]

Real Sauerbraten is made from horse meat, but nowadays they use beef instead.

I heard once it was how they cooked old worn out oxen when they got too old to work. Or a rank old bull that was too ornery and dangerous to keep around to service the cows. Three days sitting in wine & vinegar and even pretty nasty meat is supposed to soften up and taste ok.

Sure as hell would work with a horse too though
