TIL that American Braunschweiger and German Braunschweiger are different things, the latter being another name for Mettwurst, which I had in Berlin (as Mettbroetchen). The kind I had growing up in America is a Leberwurst that, unlike Leberkaess, is actually made of liver.

@slink Apparently, regionally, calling it "Braunschweig" is a thing. I asked a German about it and he didn't know what it was until he looked it up and said, "Ah, Braunschweig! Where I'm from we just call it Braunschweig!". He was from somewhere in southern Germany, but I don't recall where.
But even then, we weren't actually talking about the same sausage, hence his confused look when I mentioned the liver..

@slink I am by no means an expert on this. Until a few days ago, I thought that the thing I ate growing up was a German thing and only ever meant a liver sausage that is generally sliced thin for serving. Turns out the rabbit hole runs deep:
