Liver is full of extremely dangerous bacteria. Also it's where all the toxins go.

>> No.15257760

for some reasons most new-world populations seem to be averse to eating offal meats.
Here in Brazil most people seem to be terrible afraid of eating organs, except for some hinterland populations that are used to eating them, probably due to food being relatively scarce there.

But we aren't. My family has a delicious liver and onions recipe passed down from my grandmother, who used to make it amazing. Liverwurst is also delicious, especially with some mustard on rye.

The problem is sourcing good, fresh organ meat in modern supermarkets.

No fear here, I enjoy all livers except beef. I find beef liver too strong for my liking.

Not if the animal is kept in relatively good conditions. If your animal's liver is full of dangerous bacteria that can't be cooked away, then you should probably question the rest of the products from that animal.

they haven't had foie gras yet, their opinion on organ meats would probably change if they did.

'm not. Liverwurst rules. Had some buffalo liverwurst the other day

I've not met anyone who refused them out of fear, they just didn't care for the flavor. Even my grandparents who never ate any seafood or beef that was cooked less than well done for fear of food poisoning still ate liver.

I'm not afraid of it, but it doesn't taste very good.

In the US that's half the problem, the other half is whenever they've tried it it's invariably overcooked.

To me, the best part of a deer kill is eating the liver that day cooked to just medium. Delicious, almost sweet with a firm texture.

>> No.15258197

I like it in moderation. The taste is strong and liver is not the healthiest thing to eat.

Try Chinese spicy liver and onions. The strong taste of liver helps here. Bland meats are overpowered, living blends well.

I love liver.
I will admit there's not one other American that I know except my Grandma and Grandpa who likes it.

>> No.15258292

It's one of my family's most loved foods, actually. Every generation grew up with it. When the kids move out and have to cook for themselves, they insist on making it often.

Liver and onions is a traditional American dinner you retarded 3rd worlder.

I want to start eating liver because racists on Twitter said it's good for me.

Anybody have a good recipe for liver and onions? Should I soak it in milk? Will Whole Foods have it? Beef vs. chicken vs. lamb?
