Braunschweiger, a type of liverwurst that’s usually smoked, has some ardent fans. Stephen Colbert likes it so much that when Martha Stewart appeared on The Colbert Report in 2010, he not only prepared her a snack with the pork sausage, but also licked some off her blouse after she dropped it.
Simmons hasn’t lost his taste for braunschweiger over the years. He made two three-pound sausages, and he and his kitchen staff consumed half of one in a single afternoon—and the other half the next afternoon.

Place the paté in a refrigerator and chill for six to 12 hours. Overnight is best because you don’t have to think about it. Go buy some strong German beer.
