LIVER LOVE

haha i thought this was gonna be a thread about not drinking teh booze ;)

i love it also

yes. Haven't had it in a while, though. But I was one of those weird kids who LOVED it when mom made liver. I was totally cool with brussels sprouts, too.

it's a wonder food!

liver and sprouts (and cabbage) are easy to wreck by overcooking, which they always were at school

you guys are making me sick

a big plus to liver is that when you eat it, you gain the urinary powers of your foe

I bought & made some recently, I was also astonished at how cheap it was! OMGz and so yum. But like Bobby Hill, I worry if I ate this kind of thing every day I'd get all gouty someday.

calf's liver is really my favorite. once i had it in a restaurant and it actually almost tasted like steak, barely liver at all, it was weird

(Actually tracer the kidneys do that & the liver makes bile among other things. But that's still getting a-celsiored.)

so all this time i've been misinformed??!

i guess this explains why i'm so angry all the time

The kidneys do the pee-pee. That's why they taste kind of like pee-pee. The liver dies make ammonia into urea, but it has many other primary functions.

you've been livering a lie

Here's a simple mnemonic: it's called the LIVER because it helps you LIVE.

Liver is awesome. Loved it as a kid, too.

all those wasted ureas

Liver is truly the food of the gods. Which is why whenever I want to feel like a god, I eat a Liver.

Tracer may be wrong on the wee wee aspect (if you'd ever had Heinz Kidney Soup you would be well aware what kidneys do), but correct that by eating another liver you gain their powers. Namely the ability to drink like a lamb, ox, or pig 9though i find pigs liver a bit strong and only really suitable for stir frying with Oyster Sauce).

KFC used to sell chicken livers, now that was some gout in a box.

I feel a FOOD SCIENCE EXPERIMENT coming on.

I have always been of the "mmmmmm, offal" persuasion but something about liver just puts me off. Dunno why.

liver is amazingly good for you also yes, I forgot that part.

AMAZINGLY good for you. some food scientists now believe that just a cube of liver is better for you than a long bracing walk (provided it's not up a sharp incline)

Prometheus: "Argh! Look you don't have to do this, why not go for a long bracing walk instead?"
eagle: "Tsk, do your research, pyrothief"

Who eats their liver cubed?

dogs

That's half of why I found that statement funny: we have no way to know the volume of this cube! I am thinking one cubic inch but WHO CAN TELL?

ESCAPE if you can from the mass that is better for you than a long bracing walk (provided it's not up a sharp incline).

Please place an apple a day in this continuum, for the sake of context.

He just took a bracing walk up a giant cube of liver.

I live in a lily white, relentlessly middle-class suburban city and it has become impossible to buy beef liver in my local supermarkets. It seems that relentlessly middle-class white Americans do not eat this stuff. It is too lowbrow, or something. But I love liver and onions! Oh, the humanity!

Mr. leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencod's roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave his place a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

Aimless, that is both baffling and terrible! There's a restaurant here ("Grandy's") where you can order a liver & onions plate from the DRIVE-THRU. Liver. LIVER.

Living in a lily-white, middle-class U.S. suburb is a strange and terrible experience in some ways. But quite safe. We do not even allow undesirable odors to cross the city limits. Someone would raise a ruckus and the mayor would fret.

i love it, and i've always loved it. sweetbreads, too. mmmm.

We used to have crumbed pan fried liver as kids. I never did like it that much. It has a mealy texture. But it's been a long time. Maybe I would now.

I loved the smell of it being cooked when I was small, but hated the taste.

I'm the only one in our house who loves liver, so I only tend to eat it when we eat out. Not overcooking is super important.

enough liver for two meals for £1. more vitamins A&b12 than i will ever need! tasty with onions and garlic!

I nearly posted again exactly what I wrote in 2007.

I used to eat a lot of liver up until the age of about 10. After that I hated it. At the same time I went from really really liking Vesta curries/Chinese to really disliking them.

ate some calf's liver on saturday night. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

liver and onions fried in olive oil with some garlic, cumin, chili powder and pepper and washed down with a bottle of stout. sublime.
