Synonyms: Fleischwurst (a type of sausage), Hackbraten (meatloaf).
Etymology
From 'Leber' (liver) + 'Käse' (cheese). Ironically, it usually contains neither liver nor cheese. The name comes from its loaf-like shape ('Laib') and cheese-like consistency.
Memory Tips
Remember the funny origin: it looks like a 'loaf' (Laib) and has the texture of 'cheese' (Käse), but it's meat. The 'Leber' part is often a misnomer.
