I'm not really a meat person, beef, lamb(mutton) and fatty pork I tend to avoid unless it is in a sausage or a pie. Guts I definitely keep clear of. Salmon, trout, bass and tuna, in fact all fish apart from plaice, I would eat every day. Cheap chicken, veal and rabbit are passable as long as they are in a good sauce. I will try anything once, but liver must stick in my mind from a horrible childhood experience when I saw the tubes running through it. Bleagh!!!

Shame really as the smell of liver and onions cooking must rate pretty high in everybodys list.

Chicken liver risotto - mmmmmm one of the most delicious meals we cook.

Though for preference calves liver, which is an exorbitant price in this country.  In fact I like all offal. Nothing wrong with it at all.

   asbean,   one of my favourite meals was Baked Stuffed Heart,    so tender if cooked slowly, 

   did hear of baked oxe heart, cooked very low and could be sliced like best steak, never bought
   
   a whole one !     Also did know that to soak liver or kidney in milk over night - it took away the ' bite '
 
    ie.  any acidic !       ::)

Flossy, the heart sounds lovely.  Haven't had it for a while, thanks for the reminder.

Yes, we always soak liver in milk, not overnight, but certainly for several hours.

In the 'olden' days well back in the 30's my late Ma in law said she had to thinly sliceuncooked liver and put onto bread as treatment for Pernicious Anaemia.  Patient got their B12 from the raw liver.   OH Yuk!!!

ENOUGH. I give up. You will be revelling in the glories of brawn if you don't stop now.

I know some of my country cousins eat fresh pig nadgers fried with onions  when they are de-sexing young boar pigs, but the eating habits of the northern hordes put them to shame.

'olden days' not so olden Carol. 1/2lb a day I was eating not too many years ago for the B content and still eat liver & kidney raw by choice now when I need a B boost.  Not keen on the bread, tho  ;D

Ox liver, cut into strips & marinated in a tandoor mix, then grilled. Great snack 8)

You can't beat liver, bacon and onions cooked in the gravy with mash and peas.   :P Like frogslegs loved the chop with kidney but they outlawed that years ago.  :'(            ;D ;D ;D

We don't like lambs liver but prefer pigs. We think it's got a better flavour.

Never understood why they outlawed chops with kidney.  Loved them.

When pork chops had real bone in them, I used to love sucking the marrow from the bone.
As for a piece with kidney, we used to fight over it.

I think these things got banned as part of mad cow disease, when the mad cow was in No 10.
