Ja, thank you very much for your feedback! I always knew, that liver
cheese could go the world! Oscar Mayer, a Bavarian or Austrian who made
his fortune in America, could have been sucessfull with it, with this
alpine fastfood, just as McDonalds.
And maybe McDonalds or someone else will pick it up one day, sort of
"McLivercheese".

For sure, the people in the Papua Niuginian Highlands, in the Alps and the
Scottish Highlands are pretty archaic, sort of Aborigines, something we
should be proud of.
