The clipboard contents

«Fleischkäse»

The explanation

A German friend posted she was having Fleischkäse and Frikadellebrötchen, and I wanted to verify Fleischkäse was indeed 'liver-cheese' as I suspected.

About its name

«According to German food laws, only products called "Bavarian Leberkäse" are allowed not to contain liver; otherwise, there must be a minimum liver content of 4%. Some local variants must contain even more liver; for example, the liver content of "Stuttgarter Leberkäse" must be at least 5% [citation needed]. The type without liver is normally called Fleischkäse (literally "meat-cheese") if it is not made in Bavaria.»

What is it?

«Leberkäse is widespread in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Austria, and ingredients may vary from region to region. The most common meat is lean pork or pork belly, ground fine with herbs and spices that may include coriander, mace, ginger, salt, and pepper. A curing salt is also used, typically Prague Powder #1, which helps the dish retain its pinkish hue. The meat batter is baked in a loaf pan until the top develops a brown crust.»

Today I Learned:

That depending on the regional variant, it might not actually contain liver... or cheese... I guess in that way it is similar to the Dutch word for peanut butter, pindakaas.
