Heck, yeah! Liver loaf! My Daddy used to eat tons of this stuff every day for lunch, with saltines and "hoop cheese." (cheddar)
Thanks for posting a great memory!

When grocers and market stores in the south had a "meat counter" and cut, prepped and wrapped meat to order, they often made sausages fresh in the store. Sausages such as souse, liver pudding, liver mush, and scraple were displayed in the cooler counters there and cut from the loaf as you ordered. Such stores are still scattered through the south but are geting harder to find as time goes by.

Around here,only a handfull(if that many)of "Mom and Pop" stores make liver mush behind the meat counter. Most of the time,you can find it in prewrapped bricks right next to the tubes of sausage. Bookmarked your recipe. Thanks for posting. :)
