I worked in a German deli in high school. Back in the 70's, part of the pay was to make yourself lunch with anything in the deli. Came to love the various liverwursts. But now when I look for them I can't find anything beyond the Oscar Mayer (blech) types. Does anyone have recommendations for places to purchase in Oregon or Washington? I drive through Portland and Seattle on occasion, and would love to get some good liverwurst, braunschweiger, etc? Thanks!
I grew up on Liverwurst (but can't stand bologna),...it's the 'bomb' Just spread it on plain white bread...Hmmmm...priceless. I always get some when the Mrs. (who can't stand the stuff, but loves 'stink [limburger], cheese' ), go grocery shopping.
I love it! Pumpernickel bread from the bakery in my hometown, sliced onions and mustard--what could be better? I don't get to eat it much these days, but friend of mine is making some right now and I can't wait to pick up my share.
The European Deli in Spokane on third ave just east of downtown. A great German deli with multiple selections of liverwurst and many other sausages. I think most come in from Chicago and Canada.
mmmm something about liverwurst and really hard garlic toast. Served in all the finer restaurants "salad bars" here in northern MN.
Love the stuff, though I like it as a spread on Ritz crackers or some type of garlic toast. I'm about the only one in the immediate family that eats it though, so I only get it for special occasions.

His wurst is best. Made by Dirk Muller trained in Germany; I east it 'cuz I know what is in it and how it is made. Everything made "in house" is outstanding. On dark bread (darker the better), with onions, strong cheese, good mustard, prefer it to steak--can buy steak many places including there.
Growing up my dad would buy Braunschweiger every now and then as a treat. I never buy it myself, but every now and then I will have it with him. Good stuff in extreme moderation.
I'm not sure what, if any, difference there is between Braunschweiger and Liverwurst.
