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.

In the biomedical world where I worked for awhile, cooked lots of liver. We
used it as the test bed for the RF device we made. Whole beef liver is
huge.

Ate a lot of just that growing up, and it was a common menu item in

Then I read a guy talking about car filters, and how they trap all the
poisons of motor oil. *Pretty much like how beef liver catches all the
poisons in the cow's blood, he says.
I just can't get that picture out of my mind.

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
guy...

I concede that you know a lot more about those kinds of guys than I
do!

I suggest Plato's dialogues, where you will find mention of sophrosyne.
Caligula, as every schoolboy knows, was an ancestor of Governor Sanford.

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.

Yeah - well at least she didn't make you eat this.
