What is a Braunschweiger for you?

Oh my! I love it!! It's so yummy--thinly sliced onion on rye bread with thick cut slices of braunschweiger (or liverwurst) is fantastic. My grandma loved havarti on hers--but I preferred mine with just a lot of onion. Delicious!!

May I quote:

under German food law refers to a variety of mettwurst.
In Austria, Braunschweiger is known as a type of parboiled sausage (Brühwurst),
while American Braunschweiger is often confused with liverwurst.

YES!!! It's difficult to find the "real" stuff, as me and my grandma often hunted it down

Are you familiar with cannibal sandwiches? We used to have them all the time on the holidays.

Are you familiar with cannibal sandwiches? We used to have them all the time on the holidays.

I have had a look:

Some Wisconsinites may know cannibal sandwiches because they're a family tradition — or because of the warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Cannibal sandwiches are a Midwest staple. Consisting of fresh raw beef on rye bread topped with chopped onion, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, the dish makes some squirm and others lick their chops.

Last December, the popular dish even gained international attention with a tweet from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services that warned against eating raw meat.

But where did the tradition come from? Why is it so popular in Wisconsin?

As part of our What the Wisconsin? series that explores readers' questions large and small about our state, we looked into the past and present of the cannibal sandwich.

Why did the raw meat cannibal sandwich become so popular in Wisconsin? And why has it stayed that way?

Cannibal sandwiches, made with raw ground beef on rye bread, have been popular in Wisconsin since the 19th century. How did that happen?

It is sausage made out of liver.

Only buy it around once a year and just bought some. It's like Liverwurst. We'll make a sandwich on Brioche bun, and give the leftovers to the dog and cat.

That's about how I feel about it, lol.
