Braunschweiger Sandwich

Submitted by Chez Bob

"Braunschweiger is a polarizing food. Haute cuisine, it's not. But you'll find it in lunch boxes all over town. Advocates love it, critics diss it, and many uninitiated young souls haven't a clue what it is."

I LOVE braunschweiger. Can't spell it without checking the package, but I love it. Best with mayo. This is the way I've always eaten it, altho now I have to use a low carb bread. Great sandwich, and more for me since I'm the only one in the house who eats liver anything.

Perfect proportions! Try not to use white bread though. . .the rye is the bomb! WTG Bob!

I Bought some braunschweiger and found this recipe. I couldn't get straight rye, used a pumpernickel/rye mix bread. Other than that, made per recipe. Great sandwich! This will get a spot in the lunch rotation. Gary K

I love this stuff. But I love it on 2 slices of fresh white bread. Smeared with mayo on both sides.. Thick cut slices A slice of American cheese. It's an awesome sandwich.. I even cut some off and just eat it like that. No extra salt cause it has so much in it already!!! ?? I love it..!!

I just assumed that everybody eats Braunschweiger with mayonnaise on bread. How the heck else would you eat this stuff? I mean I can see eating great chopped liver from a deli on a piece of bread with nothing else, but Braunschweiger really requires mayonnaise for some reason. Tomorrow I'll try it with a slice of sweet onion to see what it does to it, but for today, it's simply wheat toast with mayo and braunschweiger for lunch.
