Hangover Cure #1

“It was the best of times, it was the Wurst of times…”

I love good liverwurst.  To me, its the meaty equivalent of Nutella, and I can eat a shocking amount of both.

Schaller & Weber is the candy store of meats. Replace the chocolate and lolly pops with wursts, liverwursts, and headcheese and you get the idea.   I go in there and start drooling and the myriad prepared meat products that are on display, packed in their casings, waiting to be unleashed on non-vegetarian taste buds.

For the liverwurst fan, S&W is the place to go.  They must have at least 10 different varieties.  While the gold medal liverwurst is great,  I wanted to try something new.  I ask the butcher what his favorite is and he points me in the direction of  the Oldenburger Liver Pate.  Think pork liver pate and add onion.  It gives it a bit more personality and tang.  Its simple and wonderful; a savory, meaty chunk of awesome.

Chop off a slab and spread it on a Finn Crisp.  You’re all set.

I also just discovered that its delicious at hangover time, along with another savory black sheep, pickled herring (up next).
