Haha! Start with a liver knish with gravy!

octatonic · July 4th, 2009, 01:55 PM

I love foie gras but I hate the idea of kidney.

Fendrcaster · July 4th, 2009, 01:57 PM

Another livid liver lover here whose wife won't cook it!

tweedtone · July 4th, 2009, 01:58 PM

Love liver, pan fired with onions and some bacon. Yum!

Dearly love Braunschweiger, too. Either cold on a sandwich or sliced and crispy pan fried.

OK, now I'm hungry for some...

Parma_TeleMon · July 4th, 2009, 03:26 PM

My liver is evil and deserves to be punished!

Jeez Carzee, I hope you haven't bought on a trainload of sheep shaggin' jokes

Kebmel · July 4th, 2009, 03:39 PM

I also like a good feed of tongue, Ox tongue or Lambs tongue

Try the tongue sandwich...it speaks for itself!

But personally, I wouldn't eat anything that came out of the mouth of an animal...just give me an egg!

Have never had liver & onions, but love chicken livers and braunschweiger!

Tdub · July 4th, 2009, 03:50 PM

Love it. Beef liver and chicken livers. Haven't had other livers. Liver and onions...hell to the yes.

Kebmel · July 4th, 2009, 04:03 PM

Tripe and onions anyone?

My favorite quote From M*A*S*H

"I've eaten a river of liver and an ocean of fish! I've eaten so much
fish, I'm ready to grow gills! I've eaten so much liver, I can only make
love if I'm smothered in bacon and onions!"

smsuryan · July 4th, 2009, 04:15 PM

mmmmmmmm.....liver and onions!!

Slow Reflexes · July 4th, 2009, 04:19 PM

Beef liver, fried with onions. Haven't tried adding bacon, but I can't see how anything wouldn't be improved with bacon.

Chicken livers, glah. HORRID.

I can understand why a lot of people think they hate liver... my grandmother always turned it into leather and served it with stewed tomatoes. Vile. My dad always thought he hated liver, until he found out that his mother just sucked at cooking it.

Liver is actually the first meat I would ever eat as a child... they couldn't get me to eat steak or chicken for a long time.

I like it fried well done with onions and fried potatoes & then smother it with ketchup, otherwise I wouldn't eat it.

Oh... and catfish.

Strat62 · July 4th, 2009, 04:52 PM

I love liver and heart, but that's as far as I go with it. No tripe, spleen, kidneys, sweetbreads, tongue, feet, tails, eyeballs etc-with the exception of hot dogs. In that case, ignorance is bliss!

Justinvs · July 4th, 2009, 04:56 PM

Liver and onions! Yeah! Especially deer liver, fried just to the point it's starting to curl up on the edges like old shoe leather.

Turkey and chicken liver is good too, but they can't compete with fried gizzards.

Justin

Derek McNelly · July 4th, 2009, 05:00 PM

I love liver. It's cheap and delicious. Used to make sliders out of liver with the BIG CITY SLIDER STATION. Talk about awesome.

lewis · July 4th, 2009, 05:05 PM

A fancy home-cooked meal that my parents enjoyed was liver sausage, along with blood sausage.
Us kids had to choke it down and there's a reason I haven't had either since (35+ years)

geoff_in_nc · July 4th, 2009, 05:06 PM

When I was something like 4 years old, I asked my mom for liver and spinach for my birthday dinner. I still love spinach, but I won't touch liver or any other innards either from any animal. Oddly though I liked braunschweiger alot, although the last time I ate it was many years ago. I've had pate as well and found it very nice.

gayler · July 4th, 2009, 06:39 PM

makes good fish bait.

Blood sausage! I had some Phillipine (sp!) blood sausage several years ago .. man, it was spicy! They make a good one.

Going back to liver, my mother used to make a liver casserole: ground beef liver, rice, and raisins. I know it might sound kinda gross, but it's a staple in Scandinavia. It's akin to a hot dog dinner in NA.

smokerjoe34 · July 5th, 2009, 03:31 AM

Yeah I can dig a good ol' plate of liver & onions !! Like chicken livers and really all kinds of livers fried !! Hmmmmm good dudes !! That marinated liver from Texas does sound pretty good !!! Oh and I like dill pickles with Jiff extra crunchy PB but sweet pickles R even better !!!

Hiker · July 5th, 2009, 04:03 AM

Great stuff, and fried will really please your Doctor. Bring on the liver, squid, wild game, raw oysters, the more exotic-the better.

JNE · July 5th, 2009, 05:21 AM

I hate liver, but I have to admit that there used to be something great coming from a Pool of it

telechaser · July 5th, 2009, 07:11 AM

Depends on how it's cooked. On it's own I wouldn't but I do like pate.

Warm Gums · July 5th, 2009, 08:32 AM

Chicken liver & fries smothered in gravy..food of the gods...;and if you eat it more than once a year you will be visiting the Big Guy sooner than you expected!

LOL! When I smell liver cooking, it reminds of when I was a kid and we'd pee on the campfire to put it out. Smelled just like liver cooking.

When I was a kid, my mother insisted on serving liver once a week. Our family dog really loved the stuff my brother and I would slip under the table....

Leon Grizzard · July 5th, 2009, 11:31 AM

Eric, friend, I'm glad you have gotten to retire, but I've been noticing the threads you have started, and it just seems like you have a little too much time on your hands.

But since you asked, I love liver and onions. One of our family stories: My sister hates liver. My dad was in the army and we were transferred to La Rochelle, France, in 1957. We had driven all day, and were tired and hungery. We got to our hotel and went to the dining room for dinner. We ordered the plate de jour, a lovely piece of beef with gravy. You know the rest - my sister cut off a big piece, stuck it in her mouth.....

Chris Clemens · July 5th, 2009, 11:34 AM

I love it! Even had it for breakfast during my time in the U.K.

Sweet!

Canuckcaster · July 5th, 2009, 11:47 AM

I hated the way my mom prepared it, but some of the cooking methods here sound pretty interesting. Maybe I'll give it another try.

mechanicdave · July 5th, 2009, 11:49 AM

Oh yeah, count me in on this one! Liver and onions w/mashed potato and brown gravy. Fried chicken livers and the king of all sandwiches, the liver cheese po-boy with creole tomatoes ,Zapps chips and a Barq's. Cest' Bon! Dave
