Liverwurst

Adding ingredients like pieces of onion or bacon to the recipe make each variety of liverwurst very important to cultural identity.

[1] A fourteenth century mention in Latin however uses the term "liverworsted":[2] "Hec fercula dari solent magna sulta, porrum, pulli, farti seu repleti, ferina apri, carnes piperis, XII tybie gesenghet, XII pulli in suffene seu sorbicio, liverworsted gherostet, assaturam, magnas carnes, oblatas et crumbrod."

In some parts of Germany, liverwurst is served sliced on a plate, often with mustard or pickled cucumber.

In Hungary, liverwurst is customarily served on open sandwiches, or with cheese as a filling for pancakes which are baked in the oven.

It is generally used as Christmas Eve dinner, sliced on bread with mustard and murături.

It is popular in North America with red onion and mustard on rye or whole grain bread.
