    Just something I came acroos over the last few days. Liver seems to be like marmite!

    you either like it or hate it! I ate some recently and it does have a unique texture but I think it is lovely!

    So do you hate it or love it?

    Tried it once or twice in small doses. It has a very strong taste. Like leg of lamb, but with a stronger after-taste. Sheep's heart is where it's at these days :cool:

    i'm being stalked in a cooked liver thread


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭The guy


    I ate Lamb's Liver it was definitely a strong taste, I didn't really like it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    Liver looks like a big floppy wet slug when raw. Cooking does nothing to improve its appeal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    As a child I loved it. I didn't really think about what it was though. I haven't had it in about 15 years though I'd say. The thought of it is quite gross now...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,283 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    I've never tried it. I might have a nice big plate of it with some onions once my solid gold house and rocket car arrive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,174 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    I hated it as a child and then Mom stopped buying it.


    I do drink Cod Liver Oil as a supplement and I'm indifferent to that.

    Hell yeah!

    Foie Gras FTW!!!

    Nyom Nyom!

    Tastey lamb's liver, coated in flour and spices and gently fried with onions and mushroom..../drool


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    Liver and onions with brown sauce and champ. Now that is a dinner. I love all those unusual things like lamb's liver and sheep's heart etc. Nice n tasty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭Dfens


    Definitely wouldn't say I like it but have eaten it in the past just 'cos I know its good for me....wouldn't order it off a menu mind. Still its a bit better than heart....chewy. Like steak & kidney pie though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I love how you specified cooked liver! Otherwise, we couldn't be sure if the people replying "yes" liked their liver cooked or raw. And I for one would not be able to sleep without knowing that essential detail. So many people do eat raw liver, after all.

    Anyway I hate liver (cooked or raw) , but my Dad loves it (cooked). Always orders it (cooked) in restaurants if it's on the menu. (That's COOKED liver now, not raw liver. Just to be clear on that.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I like it.

    Apparently on the continent it's traditional to induct a new hunter by feeding him a slice of raw venison liver from his first deer while it's still warm. Meant to be quite delicious actually.

    Roast venison heart is also meant to be exceptionally tasty, but I haven't tasted it yet myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 371 ✭✭bealbocht


    liver (cooked) was one of the things I hated most as a kid.. used to chew it a bit, then leggit into the toilet to spit it out..

    havent tried it for years.. not much chance its gonna happen..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Alessandra


    The smell of it alone is enough to make me gag. Tastes awful and salty to boot

    One of the few things that predators leave alone after gutting their prey is the liver. malignant dumping ground for all the shíte in the body. Ugh horrible.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    There was that show years ago called 'Doug' on Nicklelodeon, And an episode were hes trying to get the courage to eat liver and onions to impress that bird down the road 'Patti'.

    That turned me off it...

    Never mind liver, she would have been really impressed if he ate pork chop.

    There was a lad in my primary school that looked like Doug Funnie, we used to hum the theme whenever he walked past.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I've never really had time to enjoy the liver, I have to eat my kill quickly before the other scavengers find me. Never had it cooked, sure I only have paws how could I?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I haven't had it in years but I like it. Different strokes for different folks I'm guessing.

    Btw I had a dog called Porkchop, named after the one in the show! Very, very angry dog.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    You know, I don't remember if I've ever had it.

    A treat for the Lamb Liver Lovers.

    http://www.glashaushotel.ie/osten-bar.aspx
    New Hotel behind the square in Tallaght. Go down and Click on the A La Carte Menu.

    Seared Lambs Liver, Goat's cheese Mash, Buttered Greens & Pink Peppercorn Jus. @ 14.95

    It was lovely! The Pink Peppercorn sauce is a nice tasty dark gravy type sauce. They do a mean sausage and mash too :) But not as nice as the glorious Sausage and Mash that The Bank pub on collage green do. It has yet to be surpassed in terms of Mash (with bits of bacon in it), The best gravy in Dublin all combined with Super tasty Sausages.

    I am now starving :(

    Try it BBQed, in a skewer. Make sure it's not too dry.

    It was the birth of political correctness.

    I like liver, but I can see why so many people find it disgusting. It has a very distinctive taste.
