food that tastes better then it should (food experiments) NF

[Beans]

At a hotel I worked at one of the chefs told me that liver should be treated the same as a steak with a bit of pink in the center not burnt to the bejeezes like my mother used to cook it until it was like shoe leather...

 

After trying they way the chef cooked it I became a fan of liver...

liver and chicken hearts mmmmmm

I was tricked into eating beef tongue. I was told it was veal scaloppini. It didn't taste like veal but I had seconds. Then I found out what it was and haven't had it again. Then again I had snake once on a business trip and thought it was a long skinny fish. I was warned but my Japanese isn't very good and the Sake was warm and plentiful. It was very good but I'm not going out and catching any and cooking them up any time soon. The brain is a complex organ.

 

My mother cooked liver like Beans' Mom, until you could resole a shoe. I ate it with copious amounts of onions and Ketchup or didn't eat that night. I've had it a few times afterwards and I still do not like it. It's beyond don't like it actually but for those that do, like my wife, enjoy. I think she orders it because she knows I won't pick at her plate.

Oh ya...bacon fat rendered off, onions sweated in the fat, liver dredged in flour, remove onion and bacon, add 2tp of oil and crank the heat till she smokes, sear both sides of the liver until pink, remove from pan drain 50% of the oil add one 1/4 cup red wine, deglaze the pan, add1/2 cup beef jus and bring to a boil, re add the liver, onions and bacon, cook for 2 mins on simmer...sauce should thicken from the flour on the liver and all should be tender and yummmmmy!

 

One of my homestyle fav's

My laugh for the day, now that's funny Cookslav, thanks I needed that. You recipe sounds fantastic, just need to replace the liver with some other meat, is liver meat? Nope. I won't eat urine filtering kidneys either.

On a trip to Brighton a while back to visit an old friend he served up a batch simmered in onions with a handful of capers thrown in for good measure. With some crusty Sicilian bread to dip with and wine it was one of the most satisfying comfort meals I've ever had.

Come to think about I've had chicken liver with bacon I think and loved them. So I can't say I don't hate all liver and all animal guts. What happened to the original thread? Sorry Manitoubass.

Sounds like the old joke about guys in a resytaurant. One guy orders tongue, the other guy says he wouldn't eat anything an animal used to eat. When the waiter came he ordered eggs!!

A nice treat is seal flippers. I have not had a feed in some many years. The meat is like a rich roast of beef.
