Who'da thunk! It actually tastes great! A bit of Montreal Rub, 2-3 minutes/ side and voila! Ambrosia!

Nope, tender as Prime Rib, and none of that nasty "liver" taste. Should be a tiny bit pink in the middle, though for maximum tenderness that more or less melts on your tongue. :D

I love me some chicken livers. The co-pilot has been making pate from pork livers recently, too.

The cafeteria in the new hospital here is going to be located right down the hall from the morgue & autopsy room.

In other news, Liver & Onions is reportedly going to be a regular lunch special. ;)

Hey, If you're going to slaughter an animal for food you should use all the bits and pieces, no waste.

uh, last time I checked, the purpose of the liver was to detoxify, why on earth would someone want to eat a toxic ladened piece of meat

Iron content, protein, essential fats, it's good for the hematocrit. :D


I can tell you this.....it has a very sweet flavor if done on the grill with a moderately hot fire. All the juices stay inside from the outer sear, too. Keeps it very tender, and very, very, very good.

I love liver. Can I grill some on a small hibachi?

Tom Stormcrowe
07-25-08, 04:06 PM
Yeah, you sure can. Just don't overcook it. Medium hot fire, and the Montreal Steak Rub from Durkee is a great seasoning for it if you have that available in the UK. If not, it's a bit of Peppercorn, coarse salt, paprika and dehydrated garlic and onion.

The UK comment was for MarkHR

My Whole Foods sometimes has Coleman liver. If you can, get organic or high quality stuff. Liver concentrates toxins.

I like to fry up some onions and mushrooms in butter. or peppers... and then fry up the liver with a low heat.

My wife used to hate liver. Without telling her what it was I served up liver fried in butter with peppers and onions. I'm content to have it about once a season, and now she wants it a lot more often than that.

I feel faint and queazy :twitchy:

The daycare I went to as a kid served liver goulash every other Wednesday for lunch. That means, every other Wednesday I sat at the table and stared down the teacher refusing to touch the liver and anything else it touched on the plate. It also meant on Tuesday night I made a pb&j sandwich to eat after getting sent back to school on Wednesday.

Erlach!

Yes liver needs to be healthy although its not hard to pick a good one from a bad one. Look for a nice even deep red colour.

I like my liver raw! Just make sure its a good liver in the first place and its fine. I make liver pate with beef fat, onions, garlic and oregano plus chicken livers which I just stir around for 30 secs and then into the blender.

Cooking livers in onions and garlic and then finishing with sour cream is really nice.

Regards, Anthony

No matter how many people tell me that "it just needs to be cooked this certain way"...liver still tastes like crap. Can't stand the stuff, and I'm a notoriously unpicky eater...it's just one of the few foods I can't stomach. The cat is welcome to it.

Now I'm hungry for liver. Got some green peppers in the garden, onions under the sink. Guess I'll be going to the butcher shop tomorrow morning.

'Cause the toxins are flushed out...it's not just processing...it's processing and packaging!

Tom, I'm gonna have to try out your recipe! I'm always happy to try new, crazy ish!

It doesn't seem to be holding McDonald's back.


My Whole Foods sometimes has Coleman liver.

That seems like a commodity that would be in relatively short supply, so to speak.
