just eaten some fried liver on a chickpea/pepper/onion type stew.
lads at work looking at me like I am Hannibal Lector.
I love it, do you?
Fava beans and a nice Chianti?
Nope. It's hateful stuff because my Mum, who is a dog trainer, used to bake liver in the oven until it was completely dry, cut it up into tiny pieces and carry it around in a plastic bag in her pocket as treats / rewards for the dogs.
That smell of burnt liver as it was cooking will live with me forever.
Yeeeuch!
Yes, it's good. Dusted in flour then flash fried.
fried Liver, bacon, mash, peas and onion gravy.
Liver - ambivalent.
Foie gras, however- Omnomnomnomnomnom
wwaswas wins thread.
fried Liver, bacon, mash, peas and onion gravy.
Food of the gods, as long as the liver isn't overcooked.
We love it with bacon onions mash and gravy
Particularly brilliant in steak form served as you would a beef steak
Also kidneys with sausages & mushrooms in a spicy sauce nom nom nom
Not something I have more than maybe once a year or so, but if not overcooked, can be rather tasty.
Top tip of the day: Always politely decline the offer of Polar Bear liver, to prevent fatal, toxic Vitamin A overdosing. 😉
not just yes, but hell yes.
on a similar bent, I'm making devilled kidneys tonight
Yes, it's good. Dusted in flour then flash fried
This^^ for the win. Love it! 🙂
You can take your liver and **** off and then keep on ****ing off
fried Liver, bacon, mash, peas and onion gravy.
This. Grew up with the stuff, and loved it.
At the same time, overcooking it for the dog was also featured in my experience, although I am not haunted by it as pp seems to be.
Yes lovely. Ideally calves liver.
Stop telling people! Liver is one to the few very cheap but incredibly tasty meats left.
A favourite thing of mine to do is to blend some chicken livers and use as part of a bolognaise sauce. Adds incredible richness that even people who hate liver will enjoy. But overcooked it is pretty terrible.

I do that too from time to time. Makes the Bolognese purists a bit cross but if Heston can put star anise in his...
Also chicken livers cooked with shallots and pancetta, served with borlotti beans and cavalo nero.
Doesn't top lamb's liver, bacon, mash, peas and onion gravy though.

We had a lot of dogs. Big dogs. More than you have children. That's a LOT of burnt liver.
I don't mind chicken liver in a pate, but fried etc I can't get on with after my gran's cooking of it. Smell makes me wretch.

The great thing about "traditional Italian" cooking is that there's always another part of Italy 😉
I even put milk in the bolognaise (from a published recipe) and you should see how people react to that!
Like it a lot, rarely have it these days.
Perchy - we didn't have a dog but that was still my essentially mother's way of cooking it!
When my wife made it "properly" I argued with her that it wasn't the same raw material. It turns out my mother is just really bad at cooking liver!
Liver lover here! As above lets keep it quiet.. dont want the price going up.
Local Curry house does Liver Tikka.... nice!
didn't 'they' change something in pigs diets recently(ish) which makes the liver a lot more palatable these days, a la calves/lambs?
You can take your liver and * off and then keep on * off
This.
I'd sooner suck a fart from a dog..
Liver, onion gravy, bacon and stwnsh rwdan (mashed potatoes with other mashed veg, usually swede). Preferably calves, dusted in seasoned flour and not overcooked. Wonderful
An amazingly nutritious meat, and so cheap!
I’m all for eating offal, I don’t myself but I respect anyone who actually eats most of what’s left behind before it gets put into dog food.
There’s more to eating meat than just the “soft cuts” then bagging it for Mrs Prim and her offspring.
If you are going to eat meat, eat it all.
As for force feeding Ducks you can stick that right where the planet won’t shine... utterly reprehensible.
*barf.... then *barf again....
Ewwwwww
Like it, rarely cook it for myself though
Often do it for the dogs. Cooked till it's rock hard (haven't cut it up into little cubes)
I had it last night, fried with tomato sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and the chickpea stew thing. todays lunch was the leftovers.
had chicken hearts and livers a week or so ago at a new Brazilian food place in leeds.
I love offal. 😆
was subjected to badly cooked liver when I was young. I think it's one of the few things I would not eat - might make me sick. Hate it.
I'd sooner suck a fart from a dog..
Not tried that, isn't it a bit "gamey"?
I've never been brave enough to try it.
It's on my list of things I need to stop being a Susan about.
Liver and bacon with mash and a nice thick onion gravy?
Hell, yes!
it is particularly sensitive to being cooked properly
Cooked properly: melt in the mouth
Cooked badly: shoe leather
It's on my list of things I need to stop being a Susan about.
Go to a good italian restaurant and have the calves liver, that would be a good introduction for you
I love liver, but tbh i'd eat pretty much anything offal related
sliced thinly and fried in the pan after the bacon and sliced mushrooms. on buttered warburtons.
heaven.

Weren't we all (aka school dinners)?
Dried liver dog treats don't need to be burnt. Cut it into thin strips then place on a foil-covered baking tray at 100 degrees for an hour, then cut it into tiny cubes and freeze it.
as Zippy Kona said but to the far side of F###
It's particularly good barbecued as well, thinly sliced into ribbons with plenty of salt.
Makes a great change from burnt bangers and dry burgers
When my mum was carrying me , her cravings were liver and tomatoes. Both of which I absolutely hate with a passion.
Love liver ..doesnt love me !
( don't want to get any more graphic than that ..)
sandwicheater - MemberI've never been brave enough to try it.

Just to be clear, are you talking about liver or sucking the fart from a dog?
As for me, liver ground into a paste/dip thing is revolting.
Liver in chunks fried or cooked in a mushroom sauce can be nice. It'll never be my favourite food.
Pigs liver for me - with onions, mash and peas. Food of the gods. Sadly I the rest of the household hate it - so only those evenings when I have the house to myself
That's a good point, any particular liver that is good/bad - lamb, pig, beef, chicken
ox's liver is too strong. pigs is ok in gravy or sauce.
lambs is perfect fried but still pink inside.
