This was a common meal in German blue collar working class families. It is still very popular on buffets, and even used to become "hip" recently for people who got bored with mussels, salmon or caviar on buffets. People in old times often did not use ground meat, but ground cheap meat leftovers. This used to be pub food in the very old times in Germany as you could store it for a long time - no fridge was around at that time, only a pantry. It is perfect as a cold snack for long road trips.

If I were having my teeth out again, I'd have soup. I think it's comforting, and it's definitely easy to eat! My favorite is this recipe for "cream" of corn soup. Fat free and vegetarian.
