I like liver. One out of a good young whitetail is excellent eating. We fry them up with onions and make gravy and biscuits. Good!

I like liver and venison liver is my favorite. Here's how I cook it:
Fry a pound of bacon until crisp.
Remove the bacon from the skillet.
Flour and season the liver slices and brown in the bacon grease. When the liver is browned, remove it from the grease and place it aside.
Pour one cup of white wine into the skillet with all the bacon grease and drippings. Heat this to simmering and loosen all the pan drippings.
Saut� two yellow onions (sliced) in the wine and bacon drippings.
Now arrange the onions in the bottom of a glass baking dish, place the liver on top of the onions, crumble up the bacon on top of the liver, and pour all the liquid and pan drippings from the skillet over the top of all that.
Cover the baking dish with foil, place in a 350 degree oven and bake until the liver is done.
We did this at deer camp in a dutch oven. Lemme tell ya,it's good. Thanks PDS. Bob

I like beef liver. I don't like pork liver. I can't deal with deer liver after spending time rooting around inside the deer (not a real man). Chicken liver is not food.

15 years ago I visited a high end Italian restaurant and my date ordered calf's liver. Imagine our surprise when it came out crisp on the outside and ...cold in the middle. The chef insisted that was the correct way to serve liver. Haven't even considered it since.

Finally got a "roun-tuit" and fried up some bison liver. I've had just about every kind of liver I've come across - bison, beef, pork (domestic and wild), chicken, turkey, duck, goose, deer (whitetail) and elk - IMHO, nothing tops that from a young bison. This is a pic of what I had for supper, it came from a less than 2 year old bison bull. Usually I make smashed taters with liver, but remembered there were some Cajun boiled ones in the fridge nearing the expiration date, so I fried them instead. Still was tasty. It ain't fancy, but it sure was good . . . nice and pink in the middle . . . ![[Linked Image]](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e274/BigOtter/P1010080.jpg)

The best liver I've ever had is pronghorn. Very mild and sweet.

I remember as a kid in the 50's living in Maine, deer liver was regulary on the menu in our house. Buttered bread and cold liver sandwiches for school lunch and so on. I made the mistake once saying it was tough and my dad imediately said "it's tougher when there is none".

I never really did like eating guts.
Growing up poor in the South, offal was part of the diet. I don't have to eat that crap now, and I don't.:D Stuff Sam Don't Like cont'd: - innards (LOL)

I've made many deer liver pate's. skin the outer membrain off, flour & fry up the liver as you normally would. Keep the inside a bit pink, slice into small chunks, add diced onion, mayo or bernaise sauce, spicy mustard, and some madiera wine. put all in a blender and process. Add either ingrediants "to taste". If the wine makes it too loose, I will add some bread crumbs to stiffen the mixture up. Put in frig. to chill. Looks like baby **it, but tastes great!

MMMM. The restaurant where I worked in college had liver and onions every Thursday night. Loved the stuff with crispy bacon and green beans with malt vinegar.
