Maybe liver would be acceptable after some serious precooking attention,
like a marinade. Has anyone ever tried to marinate the liver before cooking?

The alternative would be to cut the pieces really, really small and eat it with
lots of sauce or gravy so that you couldn't really taste the liver.

Personally, I think an organ that was designed to filter toxins from the body
isn't something that should be eaten unless you're very, very poor and can
only afford the questionable parts of the animal.

As a kid my mom made liver for my dad. Well we were forced to eat it also. It was like eating a nasty tasting piece of rancid shoe leather. How ever as the years went by I did kinda like how my mom finally made it. She used lots of butter, onions, and bacon, In a frying pan. At least one didn't gag at the table anymore:)

My Mom used butter and onions, but no gravy, shoe leather yes, rancid, I wouldn't go that far, it was just dry...

Buy calves liver and soak it in milk. Serve it with fried onions. Pan fry it in butter until most all of the pink is gone--not too long now. You will find that it is tender and delicious.

In the days of the American Indian (native Americans) The hunter always got the organ meats.

In the comic strip, The Wizard of Id, the prisoners get served tripe. ;~}

I read that strip, but I don't recall the tripe. Not saying you're wrong. Just saying
that I missed it. (Or I've forgotten. I am getting older, after all.)

The Spook always gets swill.

That I remember.

I know all of you like hamburger, have any of you tried grinding your own? It's a lot cheaper than what you get in the stores and you can control how much fat content is in it. Just remember that the fat content governs how it tastes, 20% is a good rule. I ground my own all the time, usually a mix of chuck & sirloin. Try adding a packet of Lipton's Onion Soup to the mix, it gives the burger a very unique taste that you just might enjoy. I grill fish, chops, steaks, burgers, and veggies on my Habashi year round.

Have you found that it's cheaper to grind your own? The only way I would
bother grinding it myself is if it was cheaper to do it that way.

I have added Lipton Onion Soup mix to ground beef when I was serving burgers
to a guest. It's great!

A pound of ground beef(chub) last I looked cost $3.00.

YES, it's cheaper. Remember part of the price of any ground meat is the cost of grinding added to that price. I have a Kitchen-Aid mixer with a grinder attachment and whenever I get the chance I get a couple of lbs. of chuck roast and maybe of top sirloin. Whenever I get the chance to get a prime rib (standing rib) roast, I trim it myself and save the extra fat by freezing it. The first thing I do when grinding is put the meat in the freezer until it's almost frozen solid. The reason for this is that as you grind it, it will heat up and the fat will melt and you don't want that. I then take the meat out and some of the saved fat and cut it into 1/2 inch strips and feed them into the grinder and passing everything a second time. The meat will have gained quite a lot of heat during the process and sometimes I put it back in the fridge to cool it again before making patties.

Another important thing to remember, do not handle ground meat too much when making the patties or meat loaf as ground meat will toughen up when handled too much; this is true even when bought already ground.

I don't buy computers, I build them!!

Speaking of hamburger....
Having my lunch now. A simple bachelor style lunch.
Sloppy Joe's.
Went shopping this morning and got 1.25lb of ground round 85/15 @ 2.99/lb, a can of Manwich sauce and some fresh homestyle hamburger buns hot out of the bakery oven.
Cook up the ground beef, drain if you wish, stir in the sauce, simmer, and you're good to go.

I also add a good glug of olive oil and a small can of sliced mushrooms to the mix.

Hot diggity YUM!!!

Did Sloppy Joe give you his food or did you have to take it forcefully?

(David will understand my question immediately. The rest of you
might have to think about it for a second.)

Pumpkin soup sounds great!

Speaking of gourds, I really like spaghetti squash.

I didn't have anybody fighting me for the end result....LOL.
Although the kitties were sniffing about with some interest whilst I was cooking the hamburger.

And I have leftovers, which, like chili, are usually better than when first cooked up.

Some of you may be familiar with the tv show, Man vs. Food. It's basically gluttonous food porn, where the host traveled to different restaurants to tackle insane food challenges. The host retired from the show, lost a lot of weight, and just recently got into trouble on social media for use of the word, "thinspiration". I had no idea that word had anything to do with anorexia or bulimia, and supposedly he didn't either. He posted pictures of himself, after losing significant weight, called it thinspiration, and then when it turned out thinspiration was a trigger word, and people called him out on it, he lashed out in a very nasty way, and now his new show, Man finds Food, has been put on hold by the Travel Channel.

I've heard about the controversy, but haven't paid much attention since
I haven't heard of the show.

I assure you, I did not write that one...........
Although I have been accused of being the same.

Have a fine day.

Sue was zinging you for the improper apostrophe. I rarely bother, unless we're in a language discussion. (But it does get on my nerves, which is part of the reason I quit reading the beer drinker's thread.)

Yes, I debated whether to use Joe's or Joes.
I realized that it was incorrect, but I thought that it looked better...
I stand corrected, and Joe is welcome to share any time.
