Talk:Livermush
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a stub article out there titled liver pudding. I think that that article should be merged with a redirect to this one.
I grew up calling it Liver Pudding, but I think that Liver Mush is the more common usage, so this one should be the main name for it.--'''WAHooker''' 02:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Merge Liver Pudding into Livermush. I've lived in areas where each term was primarily used, but Livermush is more predominant. But some people who use one term have never heard of the other term, so a redirect is important. I also think it's important to add in the merged article that Livermush is primarily used in areas closer to the Appalachians, whereas Liver Pudding is more widely heard nearer coastal areas.

Merge Liver Pudding into Livermush, however make the distinction in the combined article that liver pudding is a slight variation on liver mush. Neese's sells both and they are often side by side in the grocery store. From eating both, I'd say that liver mush is slightly drier. I've never seen either sold outside the Carolinas. The true breakfast of champions, best served with 2 fried eggs + fried tomatoes (Joel's Kitchen in Hickory). --A. B. 05:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Liver pudding and Livermush are two different things. Do NOT merge. Liver pudding consists of lean pork, spices, and liver. Livermush has various other scraps, such as head, snout, tail, etc.
liver pudding is a different combination and has an entirely different taste then livermush the two should not be considered the same.
Poor idea to merge two completely different products.
I'm a Western NC native, and grew up eating livermush. When I moved to Raleigh, NC, i saw Liver Pudding on store shelves, but not livermush. I found the liver pudding to have a less coarse consistancy, and to be more bland. Livermush is closer in taste/texture to Scrapple (which i discovered when i moved to Washington, DC) than Liver Pudding.
Please un-Merge livermush and liver pudding. Livermush and liver pudding are two similar, but completely different, products. Livermush has a drier, and much grainier texture. I am from Western NC and livermush is the only type of product you find there. My great grandmother would make it from scratch. In the Eastern part of NC, you find liver pudding, but rarely livermush. Merging these two into one article is akin to merging lo mein and spaghetti, or bacon and ham into one article.
