That's the typical result I get when I search for information on any one
of these "paté like" sausages, and references to "gooseliver" don't really refer to the livers of geese. In examining product labels, all three seem to be made of varying combinations of pork, pork liver, and other pork products, along with various flavorings, fillers, etc. Ingredients also seem to vary considerably between brands of the same-named sausage. When I was a kid, my mom would buy liverwurst, but would not buy braunschweiger or gooseliver, regardless of brand. She insisted that that there were distinct differences between the three products, by type but not by brand. She only liked liverwurst. The other day I found two products, braunschweiger and gooseliver, side by side in the dairy case, both produced by the same manufacturer. On closer examination, most ingredients were the same but the braunschweiger contained bacon and the gooseliver contained pork snouts. I bought the branschweiger; I wasn't quite ready for pork snouts! :-) I'm sure if I had tasted it, I'd never have known. The question for me is, is there a difinitive difference between the three named sausages. Any liver sausage experts out there? -- Wayne in Phoenix unmunge as w-e-b *If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. *A mind is a terrible thing to lose. |
