Mmmm, LOVE calf's liver. I used to hate it, but I found out that

fried it until it was shoe leather!
Which is the common mistake. It should have a little pink on the

After I sent the liver back twice because I thought it was
undercooked, the chef came out and told me how Americans knew nothing
of cooking liver. So I tried it his way. Very good.

Yes indeed! A friend's wife cooked me liver the proper way once, and
I've loved it since. She also taught me how to make it.
Liver sucks.

Anybody who had grown up on a farm has had liver.

IT SUCKS!!!

I hate to say this to y'all, but...if your mother's had treated you
properly, you'd love liver and onions and brussel sprouts and
brocolli. Collards or any other greens would be high on that list
also.

You'd also know how to properly make cornbread in a cast iron skillet.

Yeah, mine did, too, though I had liver a few years ago in a restaurant
(someone else ordered it), and I thought it was "ok." I'd not order it
though. I love broccoli, but have no use for brussels sprouts. I think
it is the smell of the latter I find off-putting.

I'd cook my oil filters a little longer, but not much.

As Caligula used to say, "Everything in moderation."

Er, John. Wasn't that Aristotle who said that?

i think that Caligula was probably far from being a moderate kind of

Growing up we had calfs liver on a regular basis.
I'm not crazy about it now but I can eat it if a couple slices of bacon,
onions and mashed potatoes are included.

Why would you ruin bacon, onions and mashed potatoes?

I was kind of wondering that myself.

My mother tried passing it off as "steak" or some other form of beef.
Never worked.
I'd sit at the dinner table and gag. She was of the old school opinion
that liver was good for you .... iron for the blood and all that and tried
to pass it off on us once in a while.

Now, I really enjoy a nice, well prepared chunk of liver smothered in
onions. Problem is, it is no longer considered to be "good" for you.

My wife and I showed up at my sister's house one weekend and we brought
1 1/2 inch thick rib-eye steaks. My brother-in-law carefully cooked them
on the grill with all the respect and attention they deserved. When we
sat down to eat my 6 year old nephew asked his mother what they were.
She quickly responded that it was brown chicken.
