Leberkase

Leberkase, is a specialty food found in southern Germany. In English, Leberkase means, "Liver Cheese", but in Bavaria, it does not contain liver or cheese.
Introducing Leberkäse
Leberkase is a traditional German food made from mixed ground meats baked into a loaf, much like meatloaf here in America. Traditionally, the main ingredients are liver,pork and/or corned beef. However, the amount of liver that it contains varies from place to place.


You may look at this with a disgusting look on your face, but don't think of it has a meatloaf. It is actually more like ham and it can be eaten the same ways.

This was my favorite dish when I studied abroad in Germany and it was made by my host mother the exact same way it is shown in the picture.
