TV trays....
This came top mind reading about TV trays and TV dinners. Any one here had to eat liver for meals. To me this was the worst gosh awful meal ever. As a kid we had it once a month. I went to bed hungry because I refused to eat it for supper. Want to guess what I was served for breakfast? Left over liver....

yuck for sure.

It's an acquired taste, like a lot of things. When I was a kid, it was the cheapest cut in the meat market.

When I heard liver and onions I went Mmmmmm!! Best place to buy liver locally is Ingles so I decided I need to get to Ingles tomorrow since it has been three or four weeks since we have had liver and onions.
Then I realized Hot Momma started lent yesterday. No liver until after Easter.😕😣😲

Really like liver but am fussy about just what kind of liver it is. Calves liver and fresh venison liver from a young animal are best. Chicken liver is OK if cooked into a gravy. Way too dry if they are prepared like animal liver.
I'll also admit that I like my liver with ketchup on the side for dunking.

Many years ago my brother and cousin and I went catfishing on the awy stopped by a grocery store I went in bought what ever packages they had of chicken livers and gizzards then it was dirt cheap
the cashier ask me . I see people buy these all the time how do they tase .? I just told her I have no idea and no way would I eat them these are going to be fish bait she said something like I never head of using them for bait but sounds better than eating them

Always carried a plastic bag in my pack to put the deer liver and heart in. Came home and put liver in bowl in fridge and sprinkled a little salt in it. My bride cooked it the next night with some Canadian bacon and onions. Yum, Yum.
A little extra here. My friend Col Gruenther USMA '46 would get the heart on Monday morning when i got to work. He use to slice the heart and fry in a cast iron skillet. Dick was in charge of a sniper platoon in Nam and was a decathlon participant in the Olympics. Was also "Master of the Sword" at West Point and was a fund raiser for West Point. A really great guy. ---------------------Ray

D-R, My uncle Lewis always made it a point to go fishing after killing a fresh chicken to eat. He would save the entrails (Guts) and drive about 40 miles to the James River outside Richmond. Those monster Catfish would go nuts over the chicken guts.-----------------Ray

montanajoe / bullshot,
Love L&O, plus chicken livers /// They are best cooked at home - fried in bacon grease with some minced garlic !
Preferably in a cast iron pan ! - A few slivers of sweet red pepper is nice with the onions, too.
Livers, gizzards, hearts, tongue are all delicious ! ... if prepared the way you like it !!!
Therefore I would never order them in a restaurant.

It is increasingly rare to see liver and onions on a restaurant menu, but if I do, that's what I order. It is so high in cholesterol that it's a once a year kind of meal, though. I have always semi-joked that if I ever had to order my last meal in prison, it would be liver and onions plus brains and eggs. I'd gamble that the meal would kill me before the warden could.
I've often told the tale that my Dad worked at a Swift & Co meat packers plant where employees could take home any of the "trim" meats for free. We ate a lot of brains, liver, and ribs back then, from both beef and pork. Yes, ribs were considered throwaway meat in those years. Mom's favorite from her own childhood were chicken livers and gizzards, but especially chicken hearts. She and I shared those delicacies a lot.

Mom use to ride 40 miles with dad to Russel's Garage and General Store to get hogs brains to go with her eggs at Granny's in Louisa County, Virginia. No one else in that part of state carried hogs brains.----------------------Ray

Don't know about now days but back when I was traveling through the western states around '96, I found that most super market deli's sold fried chicken gizzards. They were just down right delicious! Never took root here in the upper midwest sadly.

I love liver.......with onions or fried chicken. Gizzards and hearts are also great. My ex wife (from Panama) used to cook cow kidneys.........I never did like those. I do however like stomach and intestines if cooked properly.

I went to a Sicilian restaurant in Las Vegas once and they featured a tripe soup a bit like menudo but contained both stomach and intestine. It was a little bit "gamy" but once you got past the first sniff and bite it was really good. The waiter did say that not many non-Sicilians ordered it and he was delighted that I liked it.

I can't/won't eat sliced liver no matter how it's cooked, but admit that I have enjoyed braunschweiger on a saltine a few times.

I will just stick to eyeballs and @$$$ holes ground into hotdogs and bologna 😲

Eating intestines sounds down right sickening!!
Please pass me another sausage made with "NATURAL CASINGS" 😁

Another tasty (I'm told) organ meat is cow/calves BRAINS.
Brains and eggs appears on many diner menus, here in S.E., VA
Doesn't sound like a bucket list item though.

Brains and eggs are delicious. It is also almost pure cholesterol, so it shouldn't be a routine breakfast choice.
As I posted somewhere above, my prison last meal would be brains and eggs followed by liver and onions -- in the hope that the meal would kill me before the warden could.
In a diner on the Outer Banks once, I had mullet roe and eggs. Yup, eggs and eggs. Scrambled together. I enjoyed the heck out of it, but couldn't convince anybody to try a bite with me. It was creamy, salty, yellow goodness with an echo of the ocean.

I'm not likely to ever try any mammal brains.
Prion disease kinda scares me.
