Curious. About the liver mush.similar to Liverwurst sold in the deli?.( & I have been eating since I was a toddler!) what spices are used? Perhaps you could post how to create it? Plus some ways to use it? Thanks MA from Boston,MA ❤️❤️
Hi Mary, I know what you are talking about but have never tried creating it and am not familiar with the spices they use. Sorry. Maybe, someone else will see this and know about it.
What size casserole dish and approximately how many people does this feed? I’m making this for a potluck brunch.
I would use at least a 2 quart casserole dish and this makes 6 to 8 servings, Darleen.
This is so delicious, sometimes I add some precooked shrimp at the very end and let it sit for about five minutes before eating.
What kind of cheese crackers do you use? Thank You
Just the little square cheddar crackers.
i love my grits with a small amount of syrup drizzled over the top. Yummo!
Im so sorry but im from england what is grits do u make or buy it like I say sorry for being so ignorant
It is ground up corn. You buy it here in the grocery. It is usually near the oats or cereal here.
Grits are kind of like medium ground polenta. Although grits are usually white corn.
Lovin’ this with livermush and eggs along w/blackrasberry jam.
What is livermush, despite the name it still sounds good to a liver lover like me and can you please post a recipe?
Livermush/ liver pudding is a breakfast meat sold in the south–made with liver and savory spices
Grits are generally made of corn.
