if you get a fresh of piece liver and sit it on you kitchen table before you go to bed, when you get up the next morning it will have moved,

for true.

Does this only happen on kitchen tables? I tend to store liver in the fridge overnight where it stays in one place.

Lambs liver with some onions and spuds is gorgeous! Also tried the liver of a recently deceased cow on my uncles farm and it was one of the best pieces of meat I've ever tasted.

wrong the liver will still move in the fridge, because the light is on in it the liver will then move back to its original coordinates, fooling you,

that is why you need to leave it on the table because you can switch the light off.

Yes i do.

Quite regularly in fact.

bnt · 20-08-2011 02:45PM

Certainly. I eat liver - it's just called foie gras. Lovely stuff, but too much and your heart will implode.

Mountainsandh · 20-08-2011 03:03PM

hhhmmm foie gras

I eat veal and lamb's liver too, and also sizzling chicken livers in a salad with croutons and medium cooked eggs are gorgeous. http://www.saveursetfantaisies.com/article-salade-de-foie-de-volaille-42482266.html

Back in Lyon where I come from, liver has to be pink inside allright, but I like mine pretty well cooked, not to the point of being chewy though.

Don't like kidneys at all, I think they're 10 times worse than liver tbh.

3ndahalfof6 · 20-08-2011 03:07PM

liver pate can be a nice way to eat the stuff.

jc84 · 20-08-2011 03:13PM

Love lambs liver, can't be beaten and so cheap too

gigawatt · 20-08-2011 03:23PM

lambs liver is nice, I'm not too crazy on pig liver it has a grainy texture that I dislike. I always rinse the liver under the tap, soak it in milk and put it in flour. i wont eat it any other way, but served like that with some fried onions, mash and gravy it is delicious.

I like liver but with the way it's presented there makes it looks like maggoty meat found in the rubbish.

this thread is making me want to vom. i couldn't eat any of the stuff mentioned. i cook liver for my dogs even tho it gives me the shivers...

We cook hearts, tongues and livers for our dogs too. Couldn't stomach any of it myself, the smell of liver cooking is horrific.

RichieC · 20-08-2011 04:19PM

texture bothered more than the taste, I did quite like it though. it's super good for you too.

wild_cat · 20-08-2011 04:23PM

I'll eat liver pate as it's not shaped like a liver and I don't have memories of my grand father eating it raw out of bag from the butchers.

The texture of a whole one cooked grates me as well. It sticks to my teeth etc.

I feel so ill right now.

Kidneys are even worse.

Ugh.

Many years ago, I heard of a liver which was said to have moved across to and then climbed up and wrapped itself round a bottle of milk.

There was given some 'logical' explanation for it, at the time. Can't remember now. Something to do with a chemical reaction between the iron and the milk?

pickarooney · 20-08-2011 04:33PM

I like lamb, goose, rabbit and chicken liver, the rest can feck off.

A lot of animals livers can be fatal to eat.

something to do with cancer cells in it:cool:

themadchef · 20-08-2011 04:39PM

Ah lads, yee dont know what's good for yee!

Liver, thinly sliced, dipped in seasoned flour and (if youre queezy cook the bejaysus out of it) fry it in butter for a couple of mins on each side, pink in the middle is best. Serve it with fried onions and really crispy rashers and a heap of spuds and maybe some sauteed cabbage.

I put it on the menu on a Friday in the Winter and i sell out every single night, because people simply dont cook it at home. Also, you need to trust your butcher, ours kills on a Wed and we get the liver for Friday service.

Heart is really nice too. Clean it well, cross section cut, and again dip in flour, fry it off and eat. Texture is really nice, way nicer than you can imagine.

lorebringer · 20-08-2011 04:40PM

Liver is lovely mixed into a cottage pie (chopped up into small pieces) or just on its own, fried, with potatoes, veg and gravy.

Greentopia · 20-08-2011 04:44PM

No, won't eat liver. My Mum tried to get me to eat it years ago but the smell of it when she was cooking it turned me off. Plus she likes strange food like tripe and pigs trotters so I don't take her word on anything to do with food :eek:

Funnily enough I have no problem with kidneys, or lamb's kidney's anyway. Love 'em.

You have to kill the animal first to stop it fighting back.

VenusPlays · 20-08-2011 04:47PM

Love liver and onions, dipped in seasoned flour as already suggested, well fried for me though, and served with turnip and potato mashed together! Perfect for a rotten winters night (or so called summer night when its bucketing down like today!!!)

x_Ellie_x · 20-08-2011 04:47PM

Eww. I've NEVER tasted it and I don't want to try it.

Greentopia · 20-08-2011 04:51PM

Anyone try sweetbreads (the thymus or pancreas of piglets, calves or lambs)? I know they're a delicacy and I'd like to try them some time if anyone can verify that they're not disgusting.

Ye probably about right, actually

Sadly though, I've been checking it out and it seems to be an Urban Myth. At least, people who've tried to get liver to move towards milk found nothing happens.

Maybe they should have got a cancered liver :eek:

geeeeeees it only works with cancered livers, and the milk has to be butter milk (goats)

also there is no point putting something heavy on top of it to try to stop it moving, it can move over 1000 times its own weight:cool:

foxinsox · 20-08-2011 06:52PM

I love lamb's liver and probably eat it once a week!

It is so cheap and very good for you..

Although ..

I can't touch it at all, it has to be in the bag in a way that I can just drop it into the pan without actually really looking at it or touching it until it is cooked.

Then it is yummy

Does anybody eat liver these days ?
