About Liver paste

Liver paste is a spreadable preparation in which liver is cooked and ground or blended, often with fat and seasonings. It is spread on bread or used as a filling or cooking ingredient. The name describes a broad food type rather than a fixed recipe.

It is usually smooth or slightly textured and brown to reddish-brown, with a pronounced savoury liver flavour. Recipes and products may use different animal livers and vary in added fat, salt, and other ingredients; chilled, canned, and jarred versions are available and need not have the same composition.
