I question why this page is not at "Liverwurst." This is the English-language wikipedia, and in English this food is called Liverwurst, not Leberwurst. If this was the German wikipedia it would be different, but it's not. Sylvain1972 14:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Odd. I've always known it as "liver sausage". Hairy Dude 19:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps I should have said "in America," then. Didn't realize the UK was otherwise.Sylvain1972 19:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's also known as "liverwurst" in parts of the UK, just as it's also known as "liver sausage" in parts of North America. The distinction is not national or even continental. If you grew up in an area originally settled by people who traditionally called it one and not the other, then you learn to call it whatever it's called in that area. I think Sylvain is onto something with the liverwurst/leberwurst comment. Regardless of what we English-speakers call it or where we live, none of us call it "leberwurst".

- I agree with the above. I took a crack at switching it to Liverwurst and redirecting Leberwurst and Liver sausage accordingly. I hope I didn't screw it up; if so, I apologize in advance. Jzerocsk 19:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
