Went shopping and picked up a block of Jenkins Liver Mush, a North Carolina tradition so I'm told. Not familiar with it but I like braunschweiger so I figure it can't be that bad. Plan to fry some up in the morning with eggs. Anyone familiar with it?
Essentially the same thing as liverwurst— a liver pudding made from pork liver, head (cheek) pieces and seasonings. 'Mush' is simply the local (Carolina) appellation for the same product. I prefer the smoked braunschweiger...and preferably home-made!
Is it anything like liverwurst? If so in a sandwich with onion, mustard and cheese ... preferably rye bread.
I think liver mush is more akin to scrapple than Braunschweiger.Scrapple -liver ,fat,seasonings,corn meal and/or flour.Very nice fried up w/eggs.A little coarse in consistency.
I just recall looking at the ingredients listed on the packs at the grocery store they were almost the same.But looking at them through the packaging the mush had a smoother appearance.I buy the scrapple a couple times a year.
Yep got to know about it since moving down here to NC. Fried with eggs or on bread with mustard, not bad.
I picked Jenkins b/c I'm off wheat and they listed rice flour instead as the binder. Corn meal too, I think. The other brand said wheat, and was fifty cents more.
Looks somewhat more substantial than either Kahn's or Oscar Meyer. Would so tear into that (me and my 9 year old, she loves it, AND sardines/kippers...girl takes after me and her grandpa).

Sounds great. I just bought some Boars Head Liverwerst, yesterday. I make sandwiches with it, all the time. With Mustard and Picante Provelone. Good eats.
If you can get neece’s (sp?) sausage it’s well worth trying as well. It’s a NC brand, should have picked some up a few weeks ago when I was down and back for a dog test. Did manage to have a couple of eastern bbq meals though... Also having access to real stone ground yellow grits is Carolina perk. I’ll cheat the usual grain free breakfast once and a while for a real serving of grits.
