1. I like liver.
The problem is that the margin of error for cooking length is very narrow, most people over-cook it, so it tastes like shit.

2. Liver & onions on the menu at a local restaurant this past Wednesday and . . .
. . . I hadn't had liver for about 2-l/2 years. My daughter and I ordered it.
Portions were so large, I brought half of mine home to re-heat for lunch on
Thursday. When we were raising our own beef cattle, we ate liver once every
two weeks or so. Liver is a good source of B-vitamins, iron, zinc, and Omega-3
fatty acids; and, served with steamed greens such as spinach, it's an almost
perfect food.

You hate liver? Liver lovers make you sick? Well, now . . . hm-m. Is
it possible someone has been eating too many liver lovers lately?

34. My dad used to serve liver and spinach all the time.
When it was his night to cook, he'd do that up. I don't like reheated liver though, for some reason, it gets all manky.

9. Oh, yes! Delicious! And . . . can't beat a Braunschweiger (preferably on rye) with onion, etc.

10. oh yeah!
Dark rye, pumpernickle (sp?). Delicious, but I don't put anything else on it, maybe a little butter, if the liverwurst is low fat.

16. Liverwurst is just Braunschweiger without the accent
Announced to us by our, then, seven-year-old precocious nephew. We laughed so hard we had tears and joke about it for every time we have liver pâté.

I lover liver, be it chicken, beef fried with onions, braunschweiger, liverwurst, or just simple homemade chicken liver pâté. I also exclusively order a chopped liver sandwich (on rye) if I happen near a certain magical Jewish deli.

17. My mother was German
and times that I cook cabbage and the aroma fills the hallways of my apartment, I think to myself, "there's a reason they call us Krauts"!

I'm sure they're called something more exotic, but has anyone had what my mother called "liver balls"? Ground liver with an egg and bread crumbs, sage, and cooked in a broth. Oh my, heaven!

22. I've had something similar at a German restaurant
liver dumpling soup - I didn't care for liver until I tried it. OMG, it is SO good. I try to order it every time we go, but it's only on the menu sporadically.

Absurdly good.

12. Well, I guess it was Jack the Ripper who first made eating liver
popular. Or was that kidneys?
I like liver. With onions. However, I have to try to think when the last time I had it was? Wow, may 20, 30 years ago?
So I guess I don't like it too much.
But once in a while. Organs, I guess there is nothing wrong with eating organs. Hot dogs contain such organs as eyes, intestines, etc. Unless they are all beef, or all skeletal meat, or kosher style.

15. OK, it's an organic septic tank.
I'll still pull up a chair for a liverwurst sandwich, hot mustard, red onion slice on rye bread, a side of sauerkraut, washed down with a good strong dark ale. Sosume, I like my German soul food.

20. and kidneys, OMG
I've only tried cooking them once, and they turned out pretty well, but they were a lot of trouble. I had to basically go on what I remembered they tasted like, as Mom died many years ago. Any time I'd ask her how she'd make them, she'd say, "Well, first you boil the piss out of them ..."

Made them sour, cooked in a roue with bay leaf, onion and sage. Love them.

21. I don't know why but as we were growing up my mom regularly made us eat liver. She'd cook an onion
and some bacon too. We all hated it. I don't know why she went to all that trouble.
