I stopped at the best deli in town to see what they had and bought a few slices. So disappointed! The liverwurst was slightly bitter, which suggests the liver was from a geriatric cow. But, with a good slathering of German mustard and an excellent kosher dill, I finished a couple of slices. No beer this time, though.<br /><br />Now I've added 'find the perfect liverwurst' to my ever expanding bucket list.<br /><br />Glad yours was elegant, an odd choice of words to describe finely ground organ meat in a less than natural casing. Unless...?! Did yours come bound with the veil fat from around the kidneys?! (Finally remembered what that was.) <br /><br />Wait! If so, don't tell me. I don't think I could bear the envy.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-91387032158917669842015-02-05T18:14:40.441-06:002015-02-05T18:14:40.441-06:00Ooooh, writing on butcher paper.

My dad also got suet at the butcher's for the birds — if I recall right, most of the time they gave it to him for the asking.Slywyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424323662407341123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-16908352398756098302015-02-05T12:38:27.926-06:002015-02-05T12:38:27.926-06:00LOL.

It’s an elegant liverwurst, I guess, made by <a href="http://www.heinkelspacking.com/" rel="nofollow">Heinkel’s</a> in nearby Decatur. I will buy it again, for sure.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-8147128445794414722015-02-05T11:40:02.129-06:002015-02-05T11:40:02.129-06:00Please, please describe the liverwurst.Please, please describe the liverwurst.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
