You'll often find it called it either and it never had anything to do with Leber, but Leib... which doesn't mean that certain regions don't put liver in it. Calling it Käse is the suspicious part.
Above the Weißwurstäquator it's known as "that Bavarian stuff" because German law says that if you call something Leberkäse then it has to contain liver unless it's called Bayrischer Leberkäse. You also won't find Brezeln, or, differently put, only ones which sole purpose it is to insult Bavaria (same thing the English do with Croissants) and as to Sauerkraut, it's severely out of fashion. Weißkrautsalat, Rotkohl, yes, but you're basically more likely to find someone who figured out Kimchi than people who eat old-style Sauerkraut.
The native stuff up here is falscher Hase, that is, the same (approximately) meatloaf that Anglos know.
The Swiss apparently exclusively call it Fleischkäse.
TIL that they call it "Fleischkäse" in Germany... Here in Austria it's "Leberkäse" (liver cheese) even though there isn't any liver in it (anymore).
But yes, nothing better than a Semmel with a thick slice of Leberkäse. ❤️
Leberkäse is common too where I am, especially when it comes to the LKW, the Leberkäsweckle
LKW mit ABS where i'm from Leberkäs Weck mit a bissle Senf. 😄
I think they are Leberkäse in Bavaria too, but I could be wrong
Can confirm. I call it Leberkäse. Well "Leberkaas" usually.
When you said Semmel my heart skipped.

On Wikipedia it's stated the other way around. "Leber-" because there was actually liver in it some time ago and "-käse" due to its shape.
Lesen wir da gerade die gleiche Seite.
Idk... Das steht bei mir im zweiten Absatz. 😅
Und was hat der Satz mit Leber zu tun?
