Does anybody eat liver these days ?

bonzodog2 · 20-08-2011 01:55PM #1

Way back in the day, when I was a young lad, we had liver (not sure which animal was the donor!) for dinner. Probably with spuds etc. Not every day, of course! I also remember "liver sausage"

Does anybody eat it in recent times ?

Also kidneys, apart from in a S & K pie.

Any other foods you can think of that aren't so much in fashion these days ?

Liver is awesome.
Especially with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Or rasher.

only eat liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I eat liver, as do my mum and dad

Good source of iron or so I'm told.

I used to have liver for dinner when I was a nipper (think it was lamb's liver) and it was delicious.
I was in a friend's house recently and they were having liver but they cooked it so the inside was still 'bloody' and it put me right off. Even just thinking about it now makes me want to get sick.

Yep i do when i can get it, kidneys to but there getting very scarce also love lambs heart and cows tongue,Tripe seems to be gone out completely used to love a tripe coddle.

AnonDentist · 20-08-2011 01:59PM

I still eat it occasionally in a mixed grill
(coat in flour and fry but too too much)

I guess thinks like cows tongues are rarely eaten now I know my dad loved them. Would freak me out as a kid when I opened the fridge and see that sticking out at me!!

Lambs hearts would be another - cheap but rubbery

I work part time in a butchers, liver is pretty popular, not a fan of it myself though.

Agricola · 20-08-2011 01:59PM

Fried lamb's liver is nice occasionally.

Biggins · 20-08-2011 02:01PM

Can't stomach the stuff. Yuck!

sunflower27 · 20-08-2011 02:02PM

Kidney is just rotten - the texture...everything.

I don't recall ever having liver though.

emeraldstar · 20-08-2011 02:03PM

No, haven't since I was a kid, when we used to have it every week or two. Then my mom just stopped cooking it. Not sure why. I used to LOVE it. That was before I really considered what it actually was.

Still bloody on the inside? You sure they know how to cook mate.

Also yeah if it's put on my plate I will eat it, same as I eat meat it's all part of the animal. Wouldn't eat eyes, cocks, balls, brains etc.. Just out of personal preference, but if it was life or death yes I would eat them.

bonzodog2 · 20-08-2011 02:05PM

OP again. From what I remember of eating it years ago, I found it a bit chewy, but maybe that was just the way it was cooked. I tried some lamb hearts a couple of years ago, they were OK.

Best way to eat it IMO. If you overcook it it's terrible.

Larianne · 20-08-2011 02:08PM

It tastes disgusting! Ew. Only fit for cats!

the best way to serve a steak is medium rare.

Used to eat it as a child, then did leaving cert biology and had to learn the life cycle of a liverfluke- fasciola hepatica-

Needless to say, I've not eaten liver since then.

slimjimmc · 20-08-2011 02:25PM

Liver - I luvs the stuff, especially lamb or pork liver. Great with mashed spuds and a nice thick gravy with onions mmmmm!
Not keen on beef liver or any kidney.

I hate people who cook the **** out of good meat and ruin it and then think the meat is crap

Sunnyisland · 20-08-2011 02:28PM

I think i could survive eating human meat happily not much difference between cows,sheep horse & human in the protein department
