reflections on liverwurst

I was at Lucky’s (Albertson’s) and picked up some John Morrell braunschweiger. Picked it over Jones for pricing, value, (haha)

BTW, I checked it with the Yuka app, to check general healthiness. Yuka App It got a 0/100….bottom of the barrel. Perhaps I should have bought the Jones, which was 8 oz. vs. 16 oz. I’ll have to post something about the Yuka app. My sister uses it and suggested. I find it helpful to avoid unhealthy food and generally it’s good, with sodium and additives being key to a good or bad rating. Over 50/100 is usually rated “good”.

I think I”m going to freeze some of the braunschweiger.

Yeah, if you’re hoping to lose weight , or health up, off of liver sausage, you might be disappointed. Most buy it for the smooth livery taste.

I found a pix of this OM product, but unable to find any current mention of availability of the “spreadable” type
OM spread

Exceptions have to be made…or you will go nuts and fall off the wagon. So this is one of them. Otherwise I’ve been pretty good.

ETA - I meant Jones. Apparently I can do math, but then I forgot that reading is fundamental.

Thank you for doing the math for me! My late father was an accountant and was always unhappy that I am bad at math, That being said, I am the ONLY member of my immediate family that has ANY ability to speak (read & write, too) a foreign language (Japanese).

Everyone needs a crutch of some sort. Count you in the smart crutch range.

I got a ad yesterday from Aldi about German Month products and a liverwurst was featured. Probably the real deal.

I’ve had it. Not fatty enough.

we have a very local Aldi, and a not-so-local Lidl.

Aldi - here - has turned into a simply cut rate grocery store. very little authentic German items.

my take: Lidl has a lot more domestic and import German ‘stuff’ - along with cheeses from everywhere. the domestic brands are less of the big name stuff and more ‘artisan’ type products.

Awe. Had my hopes up.

Aldi’s cheeses are reasonable; but I can’t find a one that really gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Aldi is the only affordable grocery store that isn’t a big box chain in my neck of the woods… It’s been over ten years since I had a local Whole Foods or TJs so I am happy to have it . Too bad about the liverwurst!

Kroger braunschweiger, red onion, wholegrain mustard on marble rye. Yes it’s salty. I think I usually buy John Morrell, I also don’t remember it being salty.

I think S&W, and Jones still offer a “wurst” that is similar to Boars head liverwurst but I always really preferred the boars head

Friends of mine ( a couple-now both gone) would make sure we called each other on May 23 and we would sing this.
