Liver.

[ummmm]

Do you like it?

How do you serve it?

Just found out the men like it so thought I might put it on the menu this week.

[ummmm]

That'll be why you see calves liver on posher menus...

Everyday is a school day :-)

But I will not pay the same for liver as I would pay for fillet steak. That is a big no no no. Pig or lamb it is then..

Amazing the topics that will draw a million replies... or so it seems! Here in the western U.S. wild game liver is excellent and always saved when field dressing the animal. Elk, antlope (actually "Pronghorn Antelope") deer, but our favorite, since it's so readily available is calves liver.

A 1/2 inch "steak" of liver... a quick dredge in milk, then flour, plopped in a cast iron skillet with a little lard or bacon grease, thusly fried for about 3 minutes a side, heat reduced and goodly mound of freshly sliced onions under a tin lid to stream for maybe another 3-4 minutes... We only indulge maybe once a month, though due to the high cholesterol content of all liver...(Chicken livers are cherished in our Southern states... fried the same as above sans onions...)

Adore calf's liver, currently paying £12.00 for 600g at the moment, so about £21 a kilo, £11.50 a pound? Cheaper than fillet I think, and you need so little.

Cooked here very lightly dusted in seasoned flour, gently fried in butter with some sage leaves, served pink in the middle.

I love gently fried chicken livers on toast. The only trouble is their provenance: it's really difficult here to get them fresh and most of the supermarket frozen ones are from the factory farmed birds that are fed on shyte that ends up in -

their livers

Well the dinner went down a treat. My OH has never really liked liver (his mum over cooks everything) but he really enjoyed it so next time I'll do a liver dish on it's own and leave out the steak.

I also made chicken liver pate and that turned out really well.

Just before Christmas we stocked up on Calves liver from Lidl. We checked out a pack before buying more. It was delicious and said to be respnosibly produced. We found it in the freezer section marked as one of their special seasonal treats. Worth remembering for later this year!

Nice one Bromsgrove....I will have a look x
