Liver is wrong

[Birdie Wife]

Seems liver is dividing the nation! I wonder if the same people that like liver and kidneys also like marmite? I do!

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Nope, Marmite is evil!

[BrideXIII]

What about liver pate? Found a lovely recipe the other night, can't wait to try it and I have a whole venison liver (or three ) in the freezer. Cut it into thin slices and fry until there's no more pink in the middle. Blitz with butter and blue cheese in the food processor until smooth, season to taste and put into ramekins or however you want to serve it

cor sounds lovely, wish i could get venison liver round here, my butcher has to buy in venison, so he doesn't get the whole carcass ( not enough call for it sadly), we have ordered some steaks for xmas, cos he couldn't get loin unless someone else ordered it and noone did

never made my own pate though, i should try it, the only one i make is a simple sardine pate, my mums recipe, a cheapie from back in the 3 day week times. still love it on toast though and so do the brats.

Full of iron it is......

My view is that if you are going to butcher an animal you should try and use every edible part of that animal, including the offal.

Couldn't agree more - it gave it's life...

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's book "Meat" is great on eating every last bit of the beast

Lamb,s liver, still bloody, new potaoes and the first of the broad beans with lovely gravy. One of my favourite early summer meals!!

[Glutton4...]

Chicken Livers, pan-fried with Spring Onions and Madeira!

...starts dribbling like the dog...

Liver - Kidneys ?? (heaves) all those pipes and tubes in it (runs to bathroom with hands over mouth )- was forced to eat it as a child - glad to be veggie now.

Do you eat pasta tubes? Just the same but more chewy!

[bobleponge]

Normally I would agree Snadger, there is very little of a beast I wont eat, heart kidneys etc all disappear, but the liver ........ is just wrong

[Mikey]

No way liver is lush, especially if its still warm, th.th.th.th.th.th.th.th.... though I do have to cut around the larger tubes, they is a bit rubbery.

Kidney however that's a different story ruins a perfectly good steak and ale pie. Gizzards nice, and heart, and parsons nose, and goats hooves, and ears and cheeks of pigs....mmm now I'm feeling peckish. Really looking forward to christmas eve, when I cook up all the giblets for an evening snack.

Went to someones house for tea once and they did liver in the chip pan You could've bounced it off the wall. They were trying their best to impress I think, and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings....so...um............................................I ate it.
Haven't eaten the stuff since. Yuk!
The mash potato served with it had quite a lot of dog hair in it too.!!!
So I must vote no for liver.

Yuk yuk yuk. I think offal is awfull but i do love marmite

[kernowyon]

I nearly heaved in front of the FIL on our first meeting, we had a roast duck that he had killed etc and my wife and her brother where fighting over who was going to eat the oil glands from the parsons nose.

still makes me urge, thinking about it.

as a son of a butcher, there is not a lot of an animal I won't eat, love offal, but do draw the line at eyes and arses
