Being from the piedmont area Livermuch was easily available but here in the eastern part of NC its a big no go. Cant find it, no one knows what I'm talking about...... Then I found in my local Food Lion something called Scrapple, looking at the ingredients it seems to be the same as Liver Mush. Gave it a try this AM,, seems good to me and the Wife is happy she can have a scrapple sandwich on toast or a muffin with mustard. Any other liver mush fans out there?
 
Danny's is a little dive in Rockwell and they have livermush sammiches.
Nice crusty patties on a warm burger bun with mustard. Good schtuff!!
Methinks ya may hafta dig around to find somethin like down in the flat.
But easy enough to get it on at home with the Neese's.. 😋 😁
 
Liver pudding is livermush. Should be able to find it at food lion

Yep, look for Neeses liver pudding. Same thing. Dunno what part of Eastern NC you’re in, but we take a trip to Pikeville occasionally and fill the freezer with Nahunta stuff.

Love Nahunta in Pikeville. Will be cooking up some real fresh pork tenderloin that I picked up from there. Then cooking up some Al Pastor Pork (Boston butt I got from Nahunta), via the crock pot, later this week

Scrapple is like the bucktooth cousin to liver mush, it's generally the same thing, but in bigger chunks, which means you taste the chunks of suspicious meat pieces more. Call around to any local butcher shops around you, generally liver mush isn't hard to find
I don't eat it a lot, maybe a couple times a year, but it can be really good sliced thin and crisped up by frying it with a little bacon grease. It's something I remember eating at my Grandads for breakfast when I'd spend the night, so I guess for me it's more of a memory thing than a food I actively like/crave.

It's got a festival in NC if you feel like traveling sometime.
 
I was fortunate enough to be born in Marion, where the best livermush is made. The children of the founders of Hunter's livermush were my schoolmates. It's still sold in a limited area but I visit my mother every week so I have no problem getting it.Polish_20230121_192756307.jpg

If you're ever going to be in the Winston-Salem area let me know in advance. I can bring back a care package. 👍

grandpa used to fry that stuff up for breakfast and feed it to me. he would never explain what was in it. now that i know whats in it i still buy it every once in a while just for the memories. its a good start to the day fried up in the middle of a biscuit.

Used to be able to get fried liver mush at Sonny’s little breakfast joint in Blowing Rock before they closed. I loved that little place.
 
My childhood was liver mush and eggs for breakfast! I have never heard it called Scrapple though??

But, what can you expect from a bunch of flat landers who put mustard in their slaw?! Yuck! 🤮
 
Hate livermush, LOVE scrapple.
They are similar but I cant do LM.
Scrapple is more of a northern thing, especially up around MD and PA, hard to find around here, but if you do, Neeses has a good one
Go up north (I was just in Frederiksburg VA last week) and can get different brands.

Like @Chdamn said - make it crispy on the outside and just a bit mushy on in the in and it's the tits.

I’ve always heard that Liver Pudding vs Liver Mush have different ratios of liver to cornmeal. I don’t have anything to back that claim up though, it’s just hearsay.

Ya don't wanna see any of it made I can tell ya that much. Used to work for a place that installed industrial flooring for food processing plants
when I was a hard head youngin.. Some of the stuff we saw.
If it was on the sidewalk in front of me I wouldn't step in it.
But hey, cook it up and I'll slap it on some toast!! 😋 😏🤣
 
What is this chappleburger?

 
My one and only time eating livermush, was Sept. 25th, 2014, at the Palace Restaurant in Monroe, NC.

I liked it.

It must have made one helluva an impression. What time of day was it? <snicker>

I like livermush/liver pudding fried a little crispy. I also like Braunschweiger, and most sausages. I guess it's the German 1/4 of me.

Now I'm hungry. The closest thing I have to livermush is Spam. I might have to fry some of that up.

Interesting memory, because my Dad liked Braunshweiger and most sausages, too. I stayed with him a lot for the last two years of his life. For some odd reason on one of my shopping trips at the Carly C's in Erwin, I bought Spam along with eggs, bacon and sausage. I left the can on the kitchen table. One morning we were sitting there talking, and he spotted the can of Spam and took his cane and pulled it over to him. He picked it up and said (from his gruff German half), "What the hell is this?" "Spam," seemed to satisfy him and he pushed it back my way. After a few more minutes of conversation (which was mostly me screaming because he didn't like wearing his hearing aids), he took his cane and pulled it back over, grabbed the ring on top and opened it up. Yep, Spam was inside. I looked at him and yelled, "I guess we're having Spam and eggs for breakfast!"
 
I use to eat Nesse's in my youth, mom would fry it in a pan. Havent had any in years cause no one in my house will eat it. Good stuff though.
