Whatever happened to eating liver?

[techs]

Liver used to be a very common meal in the US. Yet, I hardly even see it at the supermarket any more. Have people just stopped eating it? Is it a health thing?

It's extremely bad for the health. The liver is the organ that filters all the bad stuff, so it makes sense. Restaurants here serve it though, but never seen it in a supermarket.

Liver's both good and bad. Moderate liver consumption would probably be a net benefit. I don't eat internal organs(Knowingly; sausage D^: ). I eat little meat anyway, so I can afford to be picky.

Mmmmm Poutine. I'm hungry for one now. I might order one tonight to go with the left over pizza I have.

Liver is disgusting.
Chicken/turkey hearts and gizzards on the other hand...:thumbsup:

Lately, if I eat liver, I'll only eat organic chicken liver. This is one case where I think organic really is better: fewer chemicals for the liver to overload on.

They're too polite to die on their families during their prime earning years.

Organ meat sucks

I eat it all the time... I'm super pissed foie gras is now illegal in the USA. BUt liver is what makes the Vietnamese Sandwiches super good! :thumbsup:

I've never had liver before. I'm kinda scared to try it. :\

 

[Black Octagon]

Go to China. They eat anything there.

Failing that, come to Europe.

Escargot is actually pretty good.
