liver is meant to be really good for you but the one and only time I made it, it was so bad I nearly barfed. Is there any way of preparing liver so that a person who never eats organ meats will like it? Maybe in foie gras?

I eat it raw, in the form or beef jerky (biltong), takes about 24 hours in my dehydrator at 35 degrees celcius. If you like beef jerky, you'll love eating liver this way.

I just bought some at the grocery store already cooked with teriyaki sauce on it, was pretty good

liver is one of those foods that's very nutritional to the point it doesn't really taste good
if you needed vitamins and minerals though It would be delicious.
There's an account of a guy that was lost at sea for weeks and he would catch fish off the side of his life boat. He said eventually he didn't even want the meat, his body was just craving the organs and spinal fluids

foie gras is specifically the liver from geese that have been fattened to the point of obesity, and it's extremely delicious and outrageously expensive. try it if you can, but it's not something you should ever eat outside a nice restaurant unless you're a great cook.

i don't love liver, but beef liver is an amazing addition (in fairly small amounts) to meat blends for burgers, meatloaf, pasta sauce etc, and a good chicken/duck liver pate is great as well and easy to make.

Just make liver and onion your retard.
Pepper it, coat in flour, cook two minutes each sides.
Potatoes for your side dish and you're good.

Liver has a specific mineral-like taste similar to blood. If you liked sucking on wounds as a child, you'll probably like it. If you hated it, start the traditional american with calf soaked overnight in buttermilk, then buttered and fried, and served with onions and mushrooms or fruit preserves.

Pate is the best way. Use lots of cream and butter

The way I always suggest for people to get into the taste of organ meats is to start with something like liverwurst or a homemade custom ground beef mix with bits of organs added to taste.

Yeah, I'd highly recommend preparing beef liver a la foie gras. It's honestly the only way to eat it.

most of the stories about bad tasting food being good for you is nonsense. it's made up by parents to make kids eat whatever food they had at the time. organ meats in particular fit this category. there's no need for you to eat organ meats. you have an internet connection, so there is no doubt that you are not lacking in any minerals, vitamins, or nutrients. statistically speaking, in fact, you probably need to eat less overall. just eat regular cuts of beef which are actually edible.

it really doesn't taste bad, it's the texture that grosses me out

Sometimes i hide a small amount of liver in spaghetti sauce or pie filling when feeding my husband, but it is quite a noticeable smell and flavor. If you really cant stand it, put it in pills and swallow it. You just got to get used to it.
>>13018259
This only works if you enjoy the taste and texture of liver.

That sounds interesting, ive never heard of liver jerky.

I find that lambs liver is the tastiest.

Since I'm from slavshit parents I used to eat liver once a week. It's got extremely high Iron Vit A and Protein.

All recipes with liver involve onion, flour, cream (heavy or sour cream) sauteed. I found almost the exact same recipe I always have besides the extra vinegars and olive oil I just replace any olive oil wish unsalted butter.

My brother hated liver as a kid. He threw tantrums the first few times my mother made it but was told he could eat the liver or not eat. He tried to have something else made for him a few times but my mother told him she wasn't a restaurant and we were having liver for dinner and that was that. So, to cope with the horrible injustice life had brought upon him, he started covering the liver in ketchup, to mask the taste as much as possible. And, over time, he used less and less ketchup. And one night, he didn't use any ketchup at all. I'm sure if you asked my brother today he'd tell you liver still isn't his favorite thing, but he can eat it just fine. If a 6 year old could do it, I'm sure you can too

that's a bunch of bullshit why would you want to cook with generic meats and take your happy gay s0y fortified fleenstones multivitamins, learning to cook with very different cuts is the best thing you can learn as it comes to taste with any meat based dish. textures alone with different cooking processes or prep can change it very easily. sure you could be a meat cut supremacist but why would you disregard useful nutrition packed organs?
