  • No way. Liver should be outlawed. The smell of it cooking is enough to make me puke.

  • I never could understand the appeal of eating something who's main purpose is filtering poisons out of the blood....just can't find the logic in it!

    Liver, onions, and I have a history together.  It doesn't matter whose liver it was originally, we have a problem. My taste buds and liver don't get along.  I don't know what it was they said to one another; but liking each other was out.  Much to my dismay, my mother served it every Wednesday night.  My dad was the cook in our house and he worked late on Wednesday nights. Her intentions were good.  Liver is full of iron. She served it with onions, peas, toast and water.
    The problem started one night when the liver refused to be lifted from the plate and into my mouth.  It didn't matter I had 1/2 a bottle of ketchup on my plate.  It wouldn't budge.  My mom and sister continued through dinner, eating what was on their plates, talking about school and work, their days, etc.  Not me and my plate of liver.  We sat there and wouldn't move.  
    Much to my disbelief, they got up and cleared their plates!  My sister went and did her homework and then went to play with Ted, our Golden Retriever.  My mom did the dishes and went outside with my sister and Ted.  They talked and laughed and played.  I could not believe my eyes.  My liver and I sat at the kitchen table.  I was sure I would have better luck with dad.  He would understand that the liver would not get off my plate and into my mouth.  It wouldn't go the distance.
    Dad came home around 8:30, kissed mom and said Hi to me.  After checking on Janice, he and mom sat down at the kitchen table with me.  I noticed he had warmed a plate of liver, onions, peas and made some toast, along with a glass of water. He asked how my day was.  Couldn't he see???  I was having a bit of a dispute with this liver that wouldn't go into my mouth!!!!  He simply said, "if you place a piece in your mouth, it will give you the strength to tell me."  
    We were never forced to finish all the food on our plates.  We were expected to respect the fact we had food every night and someone had made an effort to prepare it for us. 
    On that Wednesday night, liver and onions taught me a few things. Mom and Dad were very diplomatic.  I could never play one against the other. Take three bites and you can be excused. And, finally, it taught me, to this day, I dislike liver and onions immensely.

  • As a child I loved liver and onions with yummy gravy, we had it every Thursday but once I discovered what it actually was I refused to eat it.  Same goes for black pudding.

    No, but I like onions in my liver. That's right! Surgically implanted white, red and green onions on my liver.

    Liver is pretty good and onions are even better, but heaven is a chunk of liver wrapped in bacon and roasted.

    I have a package of pre-formed hamburger patties. The product is made of 'beef and beefhearts'.  I am disturbed by this. Next time, I will just get fish.

    My  liver likes onions, onion is an underappreciated vegetable. Not only do they provide flavor and taste to a variety of dishes, but they also have several health benefits – particularly for the liver.Folic acid – is essential for protein metabolism and the formation of red blood cells. Liver disease is often accompanied by a deficiency in folic acid. It’s critical to eat foods high in folic acid to lower the risk of a deficiency. Adding a red onion to your salad or chopped onions to your hot dog or hamburger will boost your folic acid.

    Onions – are chock full of quercetin, a flavonoid that provides several benefits for the body. Although quercetin is naturally abundant in plant foods, many people do not get enough of it in their diets. Quercetin has been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Human and animal studies have shown that quercetin supplements reduce the accumulation of dangerous abdominal and liver fat. Quercetin even helps prevent the development of cancer cells in the liver.

    Studies have shown that onions increase bone mineral content, protect and regenerate Vitamin E, and fight type 2 diabetes and obesity. They also contain disulfides, which protect the liver and support detoxification, as well as vinyldithiin, which aids in weight loss.

    Thank you, Veena, for that info. I always thought onions were empty calories.

    I do and I like liver with bacon, too.  It has to be no more than 1/2-3/4" inch thick, though.

    When I was a child, I detested eating liver, but now as an adult, I love it. Liver and onions make for a great meal.
