I question why this page is not at "Liverwurst." This is the English-language wikipedia, and in English this food is called Liverwurst, not Leberwurst. If this was the German wikipedia it would be different, but it's not. Sylvain1972 14:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps I should have said "in America," then. Didn't realize the UK was otherwise.Sylvain1972 19:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
It's also known as "liverwurst" in parts of the UK, just as it's also known as "liver sausage" in parts of North America. The distinction is not national or even continental. If you grew up in an area originally settled by people who traditionally called it one and not the other, then you learn to call it whatever it's called in that area. I think Sylvain is onto something with the liverwurst/leberwurst comment. Regardless of what we English-speakers call it or where we live, none of us call it "leberwurst".

the "uses" section needs help, maybe a full rewrite. the sentence mentioning Germany is very confusing, and poorly structured. also, the links in that sentence for South, West, and North (which seem to be referring to those regions of Germany) link to the wiki pages on Southern United States, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.190.191 (talk) 03:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In Germany, in the Rhineland-Palatinate region, there's a famous type of liver sausage called『Pfälzer Leberwurst』(Palatinate Liver Sausage). Anyone care to translate the article from the German Wikipedia? In short, it's a gray colored, spreadable sausage, and is rather hot-tasting (probably due to the pepper content). It's gray because the usual nitrite (sp?) salts are not used for preservation. Furthermore, it has a higher liver content than other liver sausages (around 28%). It's often eaten cold to salt potatoes, or hot along with blood sausage, cooked meat, sour cabbage (sauerkraut) and mashed potatoes in the dish known as『Pfälzer Schlachtplatte』(Palatinate Slaughter Plate). We should add a picture of those items. :) 91.49.112.153 (talk) 04:03, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This page needs a brief listing of different types methinks; e.g. Kasseler, Oldenburger, Goose/Calves', etc. Surprisingly the German page doesn't really have it either, otherwise I would do a quick and dirty translation. Historian932 (talk) 16:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
About the fried dish from Rhineland mentioned in the article. As far as I can tell, the dish is called "Himmel und Erde" and it also includes Blutwurst(blood sausage). Sometimes it apparently doesn't contain Leberwurst but only Blutwurst. Also maybe the article should mention that in certain parts of Germany (I know in Württemberg for sure) liverwurst is used almost exclusively as spread. A lot of people had never even heard of it being cut into slices when I was there.--75.80.43.80 (talk) 07:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hey guys, I am happening to be german and lived in Rhineland, mainly cologne and dusseldorf for 10 years and yes! this is called『Himmel und Äd』which is a local dialect for "Himmel und Erde" in Rhineland, which means "Heaven and earth" .. the heaven is the apple, because it grows on a tree, the earth is the potatoe because it grows inside the earth - you make a kind of pancake from potatoes and then serve it with mashed apples and the cooked sausage, which is usuall blood sausage - so normally.

I loved to read your article but still - you omit the most eaten, most loved most served liverwurst in your articles! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Leberwurst.jpg <-- this is a kind of pate as a cook just explained to me, it is spread on a slice of bread with a knife and it can contain things like herbs e.g. it is called "Sahneleberwurst" or "Kalbsleberwurst" ..which doesn't mean it has a lot of calves in it ...
Pasztetowa is made using calf's liver, which is more substantial in texture than pork, is more refined taste and generally served on "Rye" bread with horseradish-style mustard, but not usually. Pasztetowka is popular throughout the year, but is most frequently served at Christmas and Easter.
Is the word rye in quotes to suggest it is so-called rye, or did the person who added it just mistakenly believe it deserved quotes?
Basically the same question for the capitalization.
The sentence, especially when originally added,[1] had enough small grammatical errors to suggest it wasn't written by a fluent English speaker, so I wouldn't read too much into the grammar. Of course, it very well could be some sort of false-rye, but lacking sources I think the best thing it to either remove the statement, or simplify it to standard English.

Another problem I see is the description "more substantial in texture and refined in taste". Does this mean denser or thicker? Why exactly is it "more refined in taste", does it taste less, or more? The current wording appears to only represent a personal opinion or taste without providing a proper description. 76.10.128.192 (talk) 16:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As is currently written, this "sentence" exists: "It is eaten in many parts of Europe, including Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania (especially in Transylvania), Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom; it is also found in North and South America, notably in Argentina and Chile."
Really? Are we going to keep enumerating every single country where it's eaten? This is ridiculous. People everywhere eat Liverwurst. 73.6.96.168 (talk) 09:36, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
