I hated it the 1st few times but kept on trying it, and now I love it. I also 2nd Martha: it's best absolutely fresh. In fact, since it thaws so quickly, I thaw it in the lemon juice for a couple hours, and it's much yummier than liver that's thawed in the fridge overnight. The taste for liver will grow on you!

The way we used to eat it is, you saute onions and green peppers chopped in a pan with olive oil, then you cut the liver in squares of 1/2 " and added to the pan, until the liver is cooked or looses the dark color, but don't overcook it. Then in another pan you fried a potato cut in squares the same size as the liver, until they are golden brown. And when the liver is done and you put it in a dish and topped it with the golden potatoes, and you eat it over rice. And I forget the salt and pepper, and if you want you can add garlic to the liver also.

But I'm crazy. Ever since I read the study done on rats who ate liver, I've wanted to eat as much pasture fed organic liver as I can get my hands on. The rat study is here, under the heading "Anti-Fatigue Factor": http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/liver.html Lucky my girlfriend grew up eating liver so I don't have to ninja-chop her to get her to eat it :D I love liver.

Bear or moose. I put the blame squarely on Monsanto for screwing up the wild game, especially in warmer climates. And, I must side with your husband. Freezing for 14 days is tha answer to not "catching" the parasites if you are wanting to eat raw liver. That or cooking fully. However, if its real bad, then no one is going to force you to eat it. Feel free to ask me any other question you may have.

Does it have flukes like deer? My husband has assured me that after freezing and appropriate amount of time, the parasites can no longer live. He has also assured me that they are not harmful to humans. But after he dissected a deer liver a few years ago, I think we are both too grossed out to use it even after freezing. He posted a photo of three of these critters on his blog if any one is interested. You have to scroll down; he had a lot of different stuff in his post that day. http://theabrahamsons.blogspot.com/2006/11/long-week-sorry-kristi.html Thanks Kelly for the broth and grinding then sneaking ideas. I have several packages of beef liver in my freezer. My husband likes it and so he fixes it periodically. I only take a bit to set a good example for the kids. I can hardly stand to gag it down without grimacing. But I always feel bad I can't make better use of it. I have a question for Paula re Moose liver. Does it have flukes like deer?

Sneaking (or just adding?) to a point for nutritional value (and perhaps more for ourselves tastewise), but I firmly believe our reaction (not only with food, but that is another can of worms) is more influential with our kids than the name. Now granted I also believe in starting early (which doesn't always work if the adult(s) are having a change of heart), but what does a two year old care if what he is eating is called liver? Although he may mind the taste/texture for which I think this post has great suggestions. I do appreciate the post for nutritional inhancement ideas and maybe a little texture hiding :) thanks all!

I think I've been hardened by too many articles geared toward feeding children that insinuate that kids won't eat anything healthy unless they're duped :) (NOT TRUE!) I didn't figure that was the case here -- but it never hurts to ask. My husband's mom fed them liver for the first time by giving it a different name. She cut it into strips and called it "little meats"... at first everyone was fooled, and they ate the little meats with relish. Well -- they all ate with relish until his sister took a bit and asked innocently, "Mom -- is this... liver??" Immediately the forks went down and the mouths clamped shut. I've had a VERY hard time convincing P to eat liver as a result. I do think that adding liver inconspicuously to dishes is a good idea... and I must admit I often do it myself. I add greens to soup and carrots to my tomato sauce. Not to "fool" anyone, but to UP the nutritional profile. But, I often wonder where the fine line is between innocent intention and deception. <abbr><em>lo’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BurpWhereFoodHappens/~3/L8OdB3wA0J0/wisconsin-food-blog-love.html" rel="nofollow">Wisconsin Food Blog Love</a></abbr></em> Thanks for the thoughtful reply regarding “sneaking”… I think I’ve been hardened by too many articles geared toward feeding children that insinuate that kids won’t eat anything healthy unless they’re duped :) (NOT TRUE!)
