Leberkäse is a cooked meat loaf of Bavarian and Austrian origin, made from finely ground pork (and sometimes beef), baked until it develops a characteristic brown crust. Despite the name — which translates literally as 'liver cheese' — most modern versions contain neither liver nor cheese. It is typically served warm in thick slices, either in a bread roll as a street food staple or alongside fried eggs and potato salad. Per 100 g, cooked Leberkäse provides 285 kcal, 13.5 g of protein, 24 g of fat and 2.5 g of carbohydrates with negligible fibre. It is notably high in sodium at 1,000 mg per 100 g, and also supplies 230 mg of potassium and 1.8 mcg of vitamin B12 per 100 g. Leberkäse is listed as dairy-free and gluten-free.
