I. HATE. LIVER.


My mother, sticking to the conventional wisdom of the time that liver was
good for you, made bold attempts every once in a while to serve liver.
She'd disguise it as steak or something but nothing fooled me. I hated it.

But, to my surprise, I now enjoy it, if prepared well. Usually like it with
the conventional onions.
Another gagger of youth that I grew to really like is yogurt.

Hmmm. My father liked liver and onions so my mother cooked it about once
a month. That was the one thing my mother cooked I would not eat. I
think it was the smell more than anything else. My mother was a pretty
good cook, a talent she learned from her mother, who was a terrific
cook. My father's mother couldn't boil water, but she was a great
grandmother. She took me to Revere Beach every day in the summer when I
went to visit.

Interestingly, I tried liver and onions a few years ago at a diner, and
I liked it. Smelled the same, too.

My great food awakening came when I first visited my wife's southern
relatives. I did not recognize at least half the stuff that was piled on
my plate at every meal. I still don't, but it tastes good, so I eat it.
