Love it, Hate it, should try it

The manly Liver and Onion dinner. I had just a small helping of liver last week. It had been a long time since I made a good full course meal. Today was the day.

My neighbor stopped by yesterday and said he used to eat liver a couple times a year when he was a young fella some 60 years ago.So I cooked up a few pounds for both of us. My wife doesn't like it nor does my neighbors wife so we ate good today.



Prepping the liver by soaking in whole milk and cream for several hours in the fridge.



Seasoned quartered potatoes ready for baking in the oven.



Baked seasoned potatoes ready to eat.



Carmeled / brown sugar carrots ready for the oven.



Carrots hot and ready for serving



Slow cooking 4 sliced onions to saute the liver.



Large platters of tender fried / breaded baby beef liver slices.



A large plateful of all the fixings. I had to stack some things on top of each other to make it all fit.

I also did a pot of peas and diced onions and mashed potatoes but didn't get a photo of them. Delicious also.

Thankfully I have enough for another meal in a day or so. I am maxed out on my Iron requirements I believe.

That looks Great!!!

I like it piping hot

Looks good.Love liver.Just never soaked it.

address please!!!!
when are ya servin??

I found some calf liver the other day. I really like it. Usually have to settle for beef liver. Just not much veal sold any more and makes calf liver hard to find. I just put flour salt and pepper in a baggie. Put a piece of liver in and shake it up. I cook the liver on top a bed of half cooked fried onions. Then it all gets done at the same time. Over cooked liver is tough and not good.

Looks delicious.

My favorite liver is fresh deer or moose liver.

Yuck. Taters onions carrots look good but the liver is coyote lure and bait only! Ive often wondered why you would eat liver, heart, tongue or what ever when there are great cuts of steak. No liver for me!

Beef,moo

That looks delicious, but know it's not. lol I can't eat liver, just hate the flavor of it. A thin sliced steak under there and it would be awesome.

I love beef liver, but deer liver ruined me on any liver for quite a few years. I'm back now.

That's good stuff!!! We had liver and onions frequently when I was a young'un.

ALL that onion!! Looks great!

Looking great Bob!!!!



You feeling 100% yet after your bout?

Luv Beef liver.
Tried deer liver once and they stay in the woods now.

Looks good, but I like deer liver better.

Me to.I'm kind of scratching my head on the ones saying otherwise that have tryed deer liver.

Once a month when I was a kid we'd go to Sunday dinner at a greasy spoon. I loved their liver and onions with mashed potatoes and peas. I need to make some once I get back to the land of milk and honey in a couple of weeks.

yall can have my share

That's something I have not had in a LONG time. That looks so good I am ready to try it again. Great job cooking and photographing your feast.

After all that a cheap take out platter to eat it in. Does look good.

I'd rather sip the oil out of an old oil filter.

So you like tofu

Man Bob, that looks great! I love good liver and onions.
Never soaked it in milk, what is that doing for you?

zim

D-- Bob that looks like a gourmet chef done that cookin

Big fan of liver, chicken liver being my favorite.

Huge fan of deer liver. It is one of those meals that go with the season. Best cooked and eaten very fresh.

wife makes liver every now and then. She pan fries it with onions and bacon.
Fry the bacon first to get a pan with bacon grease in it, fry the onions and do the liver last.
Don't take long to cook liver, watch it so you don't over cook it and your good to go.

I love the stuff.

Been thinking about making some is past week. Better half doesn't like it, so it just for me. Maybe I can change her mind someday haha.

Sure does look good Bob.

we had liver once a week as kids good cheap meal, still like it , most restaurants server it here

Zim, soaking the liver for a few hours helps to remove impurities, softens flavor, and tenderizes the liver. It really moistens the meat and brings out a very smooth flavor. Sometimes liver can be tough and strong in flavor. I have found that the milk and cream bath does a great job with that respect. Not over cooking it is another problem with not having a good liver dinner

Dont care for it myself, but I eat it from time to time. Dad always like a liver from a fawn, but older deer, up here, tended to have liver flukes. The last liver I ate was pork liver, cooked up the same way, tender, in onions, and not overcooked.

Never over cook liver,steak,goose or wild turkey

We had liver and onions a couple of times a month when I was living at home growing up. I vowed I’d never eat it again when I moved out on my own. I can and do eat about anything but liver just gags me, don’t know why, just does. I always thought that was a waste of totally good onions.

great dinner Bob! I also really like liver and onions. in Russia there is a tradition, after a successful hunt, we fry the liver of the mined elk, deer, roe deer.

I agree with Finster and Cotton...

Garry-

My wife and I both love liver and onions.I make it up probly once every couple months.

Can't get the wife to eat it.Got it all to myself.

Bob, I’m sure that’s good but you just stay there with the liver. You ever come here and we’re eating a little higher on the cow. Lol.

In fact, grind that liver up and make me some coyote bait. Lol.

Don’t like eating any oil filters …I’ll pass

All that iron Nessy puts lead in your pencil and some bounce in your step.

We had beef liver often when growing up, probably cause it was cheap...but mom wasn't a great cook, so it was pretty bad, lol

BUT, I would later cook deer liver which was very good, however the best liver I ever had was pork liver from my pigs...Highly recommend that for liver lovers....If you can get it.

I like pork liver. Very mild flavor.

Nessmuck, oil filter? Last I knew the animals most people consume are plant eaters. Hogs are omnivores and many feeders use fish meal and/or meat and bone meal from beef processing as part of the ration, but its a small part. No "oil".

That's exactly how I make it too. Good stuff for sure. I've tried to eat deer, elk and antelope liver but just can't make myself like it.

Im in the love liver crowd, however , I like mine well done and the onions well caramelized under the liver.

Had a friend I saved a beaver liver once for. He claimed it was good, but still don’t believe him! Only way I ever could choke down liver was to flood it with catsup! I gave up trying it after I moved out of the folks house about fifty five years ago!

A gallon of milk to wash down 2 ounces of liver cut in pill sized pieces, aw the memories.

Its a funny meat for sure. People either really like it or can't even stand the smell. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground.

My dad made a stew one time and I ate a bowl, loved it, and had seconds. The meat in it had a strange texture. I asked what it was. He said liver. I then immediately found the stew gross.

Cottontail rabbit liver, according a few people I know that like liver, is supposed to be terrific.

Maybe…..if it ain’t got those little spots on it….and for someone that likes liver. Someone earlier said it right, better for a lure ingredient or base!

I’ll stick to eating raw oysters for that Bob....lol

I meant ...that the liver is the body’s oil filter ... it filters out all the toxins from the blood

I don't eat filters.

Hey Bob...I saw your carrots. Have you Evah had Rootbeer Carrots ? Put carrots with a few pats of buttah in a baking dish and pour your favorite rootbeer all over them carrots and bake.....Wicked Good !

I'm gonna have to try that Nessy !

I’ll go hungry before I eat ANY liver. Had that mess growing up and hated it then, didn’t have a choice then, I do now.

I never tried the root beer carrots yet. Will have to give them a try the next time I feel motivated to go all out again.

Liver! I don't even eat poop.
