    Note:

    Bayerischer Leberkäse is the original name of this product. This meatloaf used to be baked in bread moulds in Bavaria. The name is said to have originated from a strain of old German words – “Lab” for loaf and “Kasi” for solid. Although there are recipes that also include liver, it was never in the original recipe!
