Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Beef Liver, and Onions?

Isnt it ironic as heck how junk meat ends up as big dollar stuff.

Skirt steak, chicken wings, ribs, bacon, beef tongue, sweetbreads..... all were things sold for pennies. Poor folk figured out how to fix them, now, they are trendy. Freaking wings often cost more than boneless breast.
I remember Dad and I going to KFC and they would have a sign up. 10 wings for a dollar. People didn't want them and they would have to discount them to make them move.

About the only big dollar liver I can think of would be foia gras.

Oh, man I bet I spelled that poorly!

You did. But I am not sure how either.

I know.....I was just funning ya bud.
I can take it or leave it but if there's enough bacon and onions involved I'll eat a little beef liver once in a while.

Now Chicken liver's another story. I like it in gravy/dressing and I especially like it in dirty rice.
The old German chef at the restaurant I worked at while I was in high school made Chicken livers in a brown sauce that was wicked on a bowl of noodles or rice. The restaurant was in Vegas and boy did those old Jewish tourists gobble that chit up.

The liver dish turned out well, I thought. The milk soak is a good idea, and not cooking to leather to.

Yep, grind my gears !! Was just lamenting this, exact, fact this morning !

Wait till you see what they dehydrate and smoke for dog treats. (including liver)

The price per pound, if you want to figure it that way, is more than you've ever paid for a tenderloin.

Anyone who lives too far north to eat liver puddin' for breakfast just lives too damn far north.

L.W.

Liver pudding is wrong, on may levels. Just flat wrong.....

Dirtiest trick ever played on me is when dad told me we were having pancakes and pudding for breakfast.

Buckwheat cakes and liver pudding.

35 years later and i'm still not over it! Lol!

I was going to say, your dad probably likes puddin and scrapple.

You were raised a bit too far south!

You eat apple butter on your cottage cheese (smearcase)?

Were you offended by the buckwheat cakes too?

Liver & Onions, Luby's, and Lawrence Welk!

Wondafal, wondafal!

I used to watch Lawrence Welk with my grandmother.

She loved it. He had a show that would come on PBS.

Pretty sure I saw every episode of Lawrence Welk that ever aired.

Definitely a correlation between Lawrence Welk and liver eaters.....

When I was 5y/o the local Doc diagnosed me with anemia and prescribed calves liver as treatment. For about two years I had it once or twice a week.

A cafe down the road has liver and onions on it's menu. About once a year I'll go down there and order some. Always get a odd look from the waitress.

From liver, to Welk, is there any other place quite like the old 'fire?

Hey.....my parents held me hostage and made me watch it.

Same thing with eating liver.

Do I have to move to OR to prove that I'm just an innocent victim?

Im with Miles. I prefer pork liver over beef liver. Back in my younger days, I worked at a very small and rural slaughter house. When people would bring their critters in to be butchered, most of them did not want any of the offal. I lived on heart, sweet breads, liver, kidneys and oxtails for 9 months. I loved every bit of it.

I love beef liver and onion, but I do not cook it; I prefer to order it and have found a few restaurants that do an exceptional job of preparing it. Pork liver is far to musty, and chicken liver is catfish bait.
