Neither. I think. I dunno. This seems like an Ohio Food Thread.

Get both.
ETA: Both served on fresh Wonder Bread with Miracle Whip. |

Every once in awhile a Braunschweiger sandwich really hits the spot.
I often refer to it as meat paste to those who dislike it. |
|
I hate to agree with Michigan man, but these are both excellent choices.
Braunschweiger is great, and I hope some fucking hipster doesn't start using it on some TV cooking show and cause the price of it to go up. |

Marble rye, white onion, stone ground mustard, and Leberwurst.

I've never had Braunschweiger but I do love liverwurst. I would happily try the Braunschweiger, but I'm not a ham salad fan but sliced up ham, sure.
|

For me it depends.
If it's German Braunschweiger then I'll take that over Ham Salad because most traditional German Braunschweiger doesn't have liver in it. If it's North American then I'll take Ham Salad over the Braunschweiger, because I can't stand eating liver which is usually an ingredient in North American Braunschweiger. |

Both. My Dad was a fiend for Braunschweiger, and it rubbed off on me.
Mom used to make some killer ham salad and roast beef salad back in the day. Sammiches. |
|
I often eat Braunschweiger with Lebanon bologna on toasted rye.

Haven't had any since I was a kid . I liked liverwurst/braunschweiger. Wife never bought it. Not a typical restaurant item

Had a Braunschweiger sandwich a few hours ago for supper. Good stuff.

Braunschweiger on crackers, ham salad on a sandwich, for me.
Also, I think braunschweiger is a million times better than liverwurst, assuming we're talking about smoked braunschweiger that isn't just liver paste. It gets really tough when there are so many different versions and they're all just called braunschweiger. |

Braunschweiger is great, and I hope some fucking hipster doesn't start using it on some TV cooking show and cause the price of it to go up. View Quote Yes, I've had the same concern. I've enjoyed Braunschweiger on crackers and in sandwiches since I was a kid. By and large it doesn't taste that much different from the pates and goose liver (which is essentially what it is) that I've seen at higher end markets for three times the price of what it is in grocery stores. And it's not only the hipsters I worry about. Once the unwashed masses discover how good Braunschweiger is on a Saltine cracker with a cold beer, I fear the ol' supply and demand curve will kick in. |

Honey baked ham store has good ham salad. Mondays is buy a pound and get a half free.
|
|
Depends on the quality, really. The ham salad in OP doesn't look good. I take left over spiral sliced honey baked ham and coarsely chop, add the other stuff, depending on what I want at the time. Sometimes celery, sweet or dill relish, lots or options.
Braunschweiger goes on toasted pumpernickel rye with swiss, thin slice of sweet onion, spicy brown mustard. Ham salad on whole wheat, toasted. Sometimes a little romaine rarely some cheese. |

Braunschweiger on Ritz crackers reminds me of my grandparents house. That and Goetta and onions.
|
|
Braunschweiger on toast with some salted butter reminds me of breakfast at Grandmas after milking cows.
It’s amazing how some unique foods can act like a Time Machine. |

Can't eat a lot of either one though. The taste is good for a couple of servings but after that the flavor gets to be too much. I eat a lot of that and other cold cuts and cheese on brochen for breakfasts every morning when we are in Germany visiting the wife's aunts and uncles. |

Braunschweiger is excellent but I also like potted meat and ham salad

Quoted: Poor here. What the hell is braum-whatever-the-fuck?! View Quote How poor are you? It's more of a German thing. My great grandmother came from Germany, and this was common food for the people on that side of the family. Attached File |

Quoted: LOL. I grew up on that stuff, but never understood the incorporation of the word "Salat". Meat, mayo, and pickles. The main ingredient is "Fleischwurst"..."meat sausage". View Quote But yeah, all sorts of entertaining stuff the Germans and Slavs do, and call it all a salad. All tasty stuff, but in moderation. |

View Quote You can have mine my dad loved that stuff, & my brother still eats it. I'm not into "pate" or liver. Too minerally for me |
|
Quoted: You forgot the onions! And make sure it's all cut right. Add a bit of sour cream in also, makes a big difference, plus you gotta let it marinate for a while. Closest thing to Fleischwurst I can find here is a decent German bologna, but it does fine. But yeah, all sorts of entertaining stuff the Germans and Slavs do, and call it all a salad. All tasty stuff, but in moderation. View Quote Onions & mustard is how dad ate it |

That's a tough call. I love them both. The mayo breaks the tie. I'll go with the ham salad.
|
|
|
Just because I wouldn't order either one doesn't mean someone else shouldn't enjoy them. Go ahead and like what I don't like and we will both be happy.
I would really enjoy a half corned beef, half pastrami on rye with lots of sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. |
