Friday Fajita, numero uno: Gordon Brown, or Gordon Braunschweiger?


The Brits are a fiery and fickle lot, and they turned on you in a hurry, Mr. Prime Minister. Your feigned confidence in the spirit of your people is hackneyed: don't dance around this recession because your people don't dance around their distaste for you.







*Braunschweiger (named after Braunschweig, Germany) is a type of liverwurst (pork liver sausage) which is nearly always smoked.

Braunschweiger has a very high amount of Vitamin A, iron and proteins. The meat has a very soft, spread-like texture and a distinctive spicy liver-based flavor, very similar to the Nordic Leverpostej. It is usually used as a spread for toast, but can also be used as a filling for sandwiches, often paired with stone-ground mustard, sliced tomatoes and cheese. There are also a few recipes for pâté and cheese balls which use braunschweiger as a primary ingredient.
