Liver

('Jackie P') #21

Actually I have had it where the kidneys smell a bit of urine! Most offputtingšŸ˜
I wash them and soak them in milk - well, almond milk these days.

What? Have you never had occasion to use an outhouse? Lucky you!

Thanks, Iā€™ll try that. If I can find any kidneys, that is. The markets in this area are distinctly unadventurous, and organs are not generally featured.

Iā€™ve also eaten kidney, but again just fried it up. Its taste could be improved. I have heard the milk trick helps.

You can get this stuff at Stone Garden Farms in Shelton. Oh, and get some chicken hearts while youā€™re there, those are great.

Itā€™s funny because I have never seen gizzards or chicken hearts on sale!

@CrackerJax Pretty much available and cheap in the US. Usually in the frozen case and a bit more expensive than the livers, like $1.49 lb. If you ever see them try cooking in them your IP. Really tenderizes them. Otherwise they are like little rubber balls!

Haha! I will look out for them!

I am in MD and two weeks ago found lamb offal at one of the vendors at the farmerā€™s market. The liver and heart were really good -. Had no idea lamb hearts were so big. - Phyllis

Thanks for the tip. They are practically around the corner from my house. Just up Soundview and over. Youā€™ve given me a reason to get off my butt and go check them out!

Stacia is the owner. Let her know that Bob ā€œwho buys all the beef and chicken hearts when he comes inā€ sent you. :wink:

In the UK Iā€™ve always found chicken livers in the freezer, so donā€™t forget to look there. I donā€™t think we are allowed to eat brains here though, thanks to BSE aka Mad Cow Disease.

Edit : Iā€™ve just realised Iā€™ve repeated info given in other posts. Doh!

#32

Paul, you were the one who originally tempted me to try beef liver. The way you describe cooking it sounded appetizing.

#33

What part of MD are you in?

Fry it up with some onions and/or mushrooms, and youā€™re golden. Thatā€™s how my dad and I had our liver for supper tonight.

#35

Maybe I will still give it a go. It canā€™t hurt to try, and maybe Iā€™ll end up with another dish I like that can go into rotation. If not, I always have my liverwurst. :joy:

And I might get crazy and use onions and mushrooms!

I am in PG, about a mile or two south of Laurel.
