To love liver and bacon

Lamb's liver lightly cooked is delicious with mash and onions. Tripe is a definite no no for me. Unfortunately in the area where I live in France tripe sausage is considered a delicacy
(andouilettes) it's disgusting.

Liver is the spawn of the devil! Although I hate it, I used to get it for my son when he was young because I didn't want to impose my dislikes on him and I knew it was good for him. But slicing it up to cook it used to nearly make me sick. Having been a nurse, it reminds me of large blood clots.

It's not my favourite thing but if cooked properly can be nice. I think offal was something I grew up with,and cookery books up until the a decade or so included recipes. It seems less so now and lots of my daughters friends in their 20s and 30s are genuinely baffled and quite revolted by thought!

We love liver with onions and bacon-preferably lamb but equally happy with pig.

My MIL ?? always bought lambs’ liver for the dog-though she’d serve the family with pigs’ liver because it was more economical for a big meal.

I love liver if cooked properly. I have had some that would bounce if you dropped it.
Kidney's too are a favourite of mine.
DH won't touch it so I always order if it's on a restaurant menu.
He will eat black pudding and heart though....yum!

Yep another thumbs up from us, we love it too

I love liver. Mum used to cut it up into chunks, soak it in milk and then coat it in flour and cook with cheese. Beautiful. Quite often make it for myself in the past and have just realised that haven't eaten it for some time, so must have it this week; thank you for the reminder.

Delicious liver and bacon! I am nearly vegetarian, and this conversation literally makes my mouth water.

Awful offal

Any other vegetarians here?

Sorry - anyone who likes liver is obviously a demon and must be destroyed

My late brother and I both married spouses who didn’t like liver
( my husband, a surgeon, would not eat anything he could recognise!)

So bro and I used to periodically meet at our Mum’s for her delicious liver and bacon stew

I may buy some this week and cook for myself during my 20 week of shielding

I'm trying to be vegetarian too, and do miss liver and bacon and mash.....mmmmmm.....shall I cheat a bit?

My mum's next door neighbour used to eat a bit of it raw before she cooked it.

Liver without fried onions? Now that is being unreasonable.

Lambs, calves or venison liver only after the horrors of casseroled pigs liver that we were served as children. And cooked, according to my late father in law, a skid round the scorching pan!

I love liver but when I was young I had a friend who hated it and would retch trying to eat it. They had it every week on the night we went to brownies and I would go round for her and sit with her trying to eat it as her mum wouldn’t let her go until she had finished it. Sooo, I helped her eat it! We’d be at the kitchen table and when her mum left the room I’d scoff some for her! ?
Now on tripe. I hated it as did my dad and one brother but my mum and other brother loved it. Every time they had it mum would say to me “just try a bit, you might like it this time”. Dad used to call it “stewed knitting”. ???

My youngest DD loves it but she’s only one in our family, so she does it for herself as none of her family like it either.

If I were starving I could not put liver in my mouth. It is utterly revolting and just the thought of it makes me queasy!

Ugh! You're welcome to it. To my mind it's one of those things that has a life all of its own - like cling film and hosepipes. But, if you enjoy it - fill your boots (as they say). Just not for me!

We can get the most delicous chicken livers here, but bacon is so dear since lockdown that we have dropped it, and make do with onions and brown sauce and boiled potatoes.

I just wish we could get kidneys too.

I love it! My husband does too.

my H makes a delicious chicken liver pate.

I don't eat any meat products at all, haven't for over 30 years, and the thought of eating offal especially makes me feel totally sick, sorry. (I struggled with eating much meat even as a child, always found the idea a bit revolting and could only eat it "disguised" in tinned burgers or sausages, never in its recognisable form.) But if you want to eat it and enjoy it, who am I to judge? But - yukkkkkk!!

Sounds wonderful - real comfort food. Loved tripe with mash as a child but DH won’t entertain it so a sad loss for the moment
