Liverwurst, for many centuries considered a comfort-food in Central and Eastern Europe, is a hearty and nutritious food that is also gaining popularity in North America. Typically prepared in the countryside with chicken, pork and veal cooked liver, mixed with spices and incased in a sausage-shaped casing, liverwurst has a smooth, buttery texture easily spreadable on hearty bread or for a more sophisticated presentation, served on crackers.
