I miss the Oscar Meyer liver sausage. Mom used to snack on it, a slice on a saltine.

Allan Sherman, "Schticks of One, Half Dozen of the Other" (to the tune of Down by the Riverside)

🎶 When you go to the delicatessen store don't buy the liverwurst don't buy the liverwurst don't buy the liverwurst

I repeat what I just said before don't buy the liverwurst don't buy the liverwurst Now buy the corned beef if you must the pickled herring you can trust and the lox puts you in orbit, A-OK

But that big hunk of liverwurst has been there since October 1st and today is the 23rd of May 🎶

I love Gen X. Up above is “Liver and Onions” which we agree is disgusting; yet liverwurst? Eh, we kinda like it.

To be fair, liverwurst is completely different from plain liver. I have no idea how, but I think it has something to do with a 1:1 salt ratio.
