Liver: chicken and beef and others. Do you like them?

[mr_boring]

I despise the stuff. Its the texture. Blech.

BUT - long long ago in a galaxy far far away a one legged man that ran a used car dealership that I did odd jobs for told me that if I came over to his house to try the liver his wife made that I would like it. I liked Woody. He was a good dude, sold me a lightly wrecked 93 Cavalier (all repairs done by us, rear bumper and lights if I recall correctly - I have no idea why insurance totaled that vehicle) with a stick shift with stupid low miles (like 9000) for cost because I really needed a decent ride - and I drove the absolute tinkle out of it for many moons. I took him up on the liver challenge. It was about 30% liver, 30% delicious perfectly caramelized onions, and 40% bacon. It was delicious. I've never been able to stomach it since that one magical plate back in about 1995. It was chopped up very fine and very well done.

I have eaten it a few times in the centuries since then, but with copious quantities of ketchup or bbq sauce. Mostly to be polite because it was someone saying "oh you gotta try MINE"

No. Ick. The liver is basically a filter. I don't eat filters.

 

[jake wells]

I do think its the only filter I could eat, fram filters dont taste to good.

I like chicken liver. I put them on my line and cast them into a lake. Most of the time they turn into a catfish.

I have said the same here

I would only eat liver if starving to death was the alternative.

I like cod liver. I don't know about the others.

It's a might strong, but good in limited quantities

I love chicken and beef liver. But lamb liver is like WOW. Just too woolly nasty sheepy muttony.

Kinda sorta.

Liver does some filtering in a way but also has over 500 functions and glad indeed not made by Fram. The deal is to not eat junk, and not eat junker liver. Clean grass fed cows, have nice livers. Enjoy with a nice chianti and fava beans.

I never got up enough nerve to try any type of liver.

Liver, whether beef, pork or chicken is tasty.
So are kidneys, with lamb kidney being especially good.
It is all in the preparation, though.

Heart is really good also, Kidneys the best, but you really need to boil the piss out of it.

Heart is good, a fine grained and flavorful meat.
Cute observation on kidneys.

Sure thing Hannibal..

Thanksgiving turkey. Cooked the liver for gravy, but didn't like the taste. Tried to give it to my cat, but even he wouldn't eat it.

Whilst my sisters talked and drank wine - my wife was in the kitchen with mom making giblet gravy and dressing and has made it perfectly many Thanksgiving’s since then …

When we were kids my parents would always buy a whole or 1/2 of beef and the liver was included. Some people grind the liver in the ground beef however my parents never had the butcher shop blend it in. Therefore, we had liver about twice a year and you either had to eat it or settle for the side dishes. My mom would make liver and onions and I would always eat about 3 ounces of it and would drown it out in ketchup. I can eat it but it's not that great in my opinion. I never could eat the tongue but like the deep fried oysters. I couldn't eat the heart either and some people would grind that with the ground beef but we didn't. My dad was the only one that ate the tongue and heart and he would eat it cold. I have not had liver for probably 50 years or longer. I do like just a little bit of liverwurst or braunschweiger on a cracker but never buy it and only eat it at a tasting or party.

What do liver and sea urchin sashimi have in common? Ther are two foods that 'ol wings&wheels knows he absolutely hates but has to try them every few years just to make sure.

At dinner w/ Mom a few months ago, yup I still gag on liver.

Aldi used to have them but not in the last year

Yes, I check every time I go there.
