The Most Dreaded Meal 90% Hate!

I have always liked chicken liver. We lived in a walk-up two story apartment. On Sundays, the lady down stairs always made fried chicken and when we came home from church, she'd always come out as we were going up the back porch stairs and hand me the liver on a plate with a fork. i had to eat it right there because she didn't want me taking the plate and fork upstairs. No one in her family would eat the liver.

Cassie likes liver so I give it to her when i fry chicken. i eat the gizzard.  Charlie used to like chicken livers but does not anymore.  One chicken place sells livers by themselves and we both love them.

I don't remember how mom made liver or if it was cow or pork. I don't think she cooked it with onions or maybe she did. I think it was just floured and pan fried.  i just don't remember. i ate it. it was good but not as good as 'aunt' Vera's chicken livers.

because she heard organ meat is high in cholesterol !!!......


She heard right. That is why I have not eaten it in years.Well besides the time awhile ago,I bought some for the cat.First off chix liver is so cheap.I do not save them from whole chix either.I toss them. Cat would not eat it,she tried to bury it lol So I put on a water chestnut slice then wrapped in Bacon aka rumaki.Broiled them.. Oh man so good. Stupid cat.

KFC has them ..Those big cafeteria style places have them too.Huge hot bins full of fresh made.I took my Mom all the time for them. They were so good too.

I used to make calfs liver & onions (bacon) with mashed potatoes.. Gosh it was good.I soaked it in milk too.

I guess it would be ok to have beef liver once a month?
IFffffffff That's If I can find it in the packed freezer...there is frozen calves liver.
I will A S K Tina to make it for me. It's always better when someone else cooks it!.....

My mom use to make liver and onions for Dane and herself a couple times a year. I never could get it down - but, hey, hot dogs and onions is a FABULOUS meal!

Mom used her cast iron skillet with about 1/4" of oil, got it hot and put a small "grill" pan in the pan to get hot. Then the beef liver got seared just above the oil and turned once....came off about a medium rare.

The two of them loved it.

Who else here remembers the movie "Rosemary's Baby" when Mia Farrow had her kitchen scene with the liver? Nuff said....  

Nothing smells better than calves liver and onions but that's as far as it goes for me.  I just can't get it down.  Tastes kind of gritty to me.  Everyone always says I didn't have it cooked correctly but even the liver prepared by someone who says that tates gritty to me.  

I like a small bit of liver -- say cut up with the gizzard to add to dirty rice, or in rumaki.  I also love patés, too.  I don't mind the flavor but I could never eat, say, a plate of chicken livers like my father did.  But if you ground it up and put it in paté, I'm always up for that.  

In fact, our local grocery Rouse's has a large storemade selection of different patés near the deli -- I try not to look at it 'cause it's not cheap and Brian doesn't like liver of any sort except in dirty rice cut up really small (and not talked about either!).  But every once in a while, I'll buy myself a small little piece of some yummy type paté that I can enjoy later...

Chicken livers spread.....I ate like a hog!

One time long long ago, we would get our income taxes done at a accountants like over one hour from here. We would meet with T's cousin, and IF? we got a nice chunk back, we would go to a fancy place to have dinner after the tax appointment.
Well,......We get done, and we get a hefty refund; so we go out to eat.
We find this place in Fanwood,NJ and we find out it is smorgasbord .
OK... here I go; up to the cheese and bread and salad bar, and I see this liver spread. I tried it on pumpernickel bread. It was delicious.
Even during eating crab claws and beef and whatever, I made a point to keep eating the liver spread in between. I had to laugh, because I polished off the complete bowl of the darn stuff. It was so good.

That was the first time I had eaten liver spread.
Well, Now it's time to head home, and all of a sudden, I get a massive belly ache. It was rumbling and groaning and I just made it home, and to the bathroom. It was like Montezuma's Revenge!
Tina said, it could have been the pumpernickel bread too. That has a lot of molasses in it. L O L .... I ate almost a whole loaf.

It was like Montezuma's Revenge!


That same thing did me in,except it was Key Lime Pie in Key West Fla.Have not eaten it since

It could have been anything you ate. Not necessarily the liver. I would be more suspicious of the seafood.
