I was reading a book about the air war in Germany, WWII. A dish was mentioned, and I followed up and found a recipe on a Baverian web site. It's called Leberkase. Easy to make, and quite a different and delicious flavor.

Leberkase
Bavarian Meat Loaf

8 ounces lean steak
8 ounce Country Ribs
4 ounces thick cut bacon
1 medium onion, fine diced
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp White Pepper
1/4 tsp Allspice
1 tsp Marjoram
1/4 cup ice water

Cut the meat into large dice, and then run through the meat grinder, using the small hole blade
Put the meat into the bowl of a mixer. Using the dough hook, mix well.
Add in onion and garlic, the ice water, and the spices.

Place mixture in a loaf mold, and bake for an hour at 350F.

Cool slightly. Slice, and serve with Rye Bread, mustard, pickles, onion, and cut Hungarian Peppers

Ice Cold beer is a must.

Real Leberkase doesn't have meat in it.............. well so little, it could be considered accidental.

It's just creamed fat with spices and a little colouring added to make it look pink.
Actually, alot of German wurst is the same. If you can't actually see the meat, there's probably very little in it.
The ice was added to stop the fat from burning/cooking/binding in the machinery as you creamed it into a toothpaste consistency.

It was then squirted into skins, ham presses, bread tins and boiled in the copper, or baked in the oven.

Leberkäse (help·info) (German, literally means 'liver cheese'; sometimes spelled Leberkäs or Leberka(a)s in Austria and the Swabian, Bavarian and Franconian parts of Germany and Fleischkäse in Saarland, Baden, Switzerland and Tyrol) is a specialty food found in the south of Germany, in Austria and parts of Switzerland, similar to bologna sausage. It consists of corned beef, pork, bacon and onions and is made by grinding the ingredients very finely and then baking it as a loaf in a bread pan until it has a crunchy brown crust.
