When I was younger I was not keen on Liver cooked as a one piece, but weirdly I love Liver gravy over Mashed potato, I have found the I prefer Liver sliced thinly and flash fried, like this recipe;
Pan fried calves liver and bacon recipe

________________________________________
Method
1. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the onions and the sugar over a medium heat, stirring frequently for 7-8 minutes until nicely browned. Season with salt and pepper and add the balsamic vinegar and allow it to bubble up for a few seconds. Take off the heat and keep warm.
2. Heat a grill or a griddle pan to high and cook the bacon until crisp at the edges and then keep warm.
3. Season the slices of liver with salt and pepper and then dust with flour. In another large frying pan add the oil and cook the slices of liver over a high heat for about 30 seconds on each side, it should be browned on the outside and pink and juicy in the middle. Lift the liver onto warmed plates and serve with the bacon and onions and serve with mashed potato and Italian style greens.
1. For the Italian-style greens – Heat the butter over a medium /high heat and add the shallots, fry for a few minutes until softened then add the cabbage and put a lid on the pan and allow it to wilt in the heat for a couple of minutes and then stir through salt and pepper.
Pure liver, no thanks. But there is liverwurst that tastes good, especially on pancakes.
I try to, but the only way I can handle it is a percentage blended in with ground beef. It's not even the taste of blood that gets me; it's the texture of it. It's like eating cartilage. I imagine it's what biting into a raw eyeball would be like and I can't. I just... I can't. However, I have been able to eat chicken liver, but I can only handle so much of that, too.
I can't eat it sliced but I will eat pate or things where its finely chopped and mixed with other stuff.
Most Chinese takeaways here do liver and onions, I've never known anyone to buy it.
Eating liver can be quite an adventure for the palate. It's rich in flavor and packed with nutrients. I've tried it in various cuisines, such as Italian fegato alla veneziana and Japanese ankimo, often called foie gras of the sea. Each experience was unique, with different seasonings and preparation methods highlighting the liver's distinct taste. If you're into bold flavors and curious about nutrient-dense foods, liver is worth exploring. 🍽️

I've tried it and I hate it.
My wife loves liver and onions, but I even find the smell disgusting.
I love liver and don't know why so many people dislike it. I used to eat the little slices, kind of like slices of ham, but my favorite is how it is in Japan with yakitori sticks. Melts in my mouth.
my father used to make fried liver for breakfast on Sundays. My father was a POW during WW2 and he said he ate a lot of things to survive and liver has lots of iron and other nutrients. Still I was having none of it.
It tastes good, but no. The thought of what it is grossed me out. I used to eat it in childhood before I understood that it is an organ. But I won’t touch it now.
I haven't had it in awhile, but liver and onions was a regular on my family's dinner table growing up.
Damn right I would/will/do... Fried Liver, Mashed Potatoes, Garden Pies and Onion Gravy... Absolutely Perfect.
What about with some fava beans and a nice chianti?
I have. Not my favorite as pictured, but pate can be very good.
I like chopped liver and pate but not just liver like liver and onions. I take beef liver supplements because they're very dense nutrients.
Not a chance. I would have to be lost in the woods for a week without any thing to eat before I would choke down liver.
I have, it's pretty good with sandwiches and stuff, well I've eaten it as liver pate
No, I do like the texture but pate is nice with proper butter on crusty bread
Koreans eat cow liver and Jewish people eat chicken liver. My friend is a Jewish. I like it on my bread
No because I'm not Hannibal Lecter.
Simples...
I eat liverwurst, and have tried beef and chicken liver. Not my favorites.
Even that name "liver is worst" how can anyone eat that or call it that!
@strateguy632 you know ‘wurst’ is German for sausage, right?
The last time I ordered liver in a restaurant I got food poisoning from eating it.
I had it the night before, and went to sleep a little while later.
At 6 am I woke up vomiting with easing! I called the paramedics on myself and they saw that I wasn't able to stop vomiting 🤢. They hooked up an IV so I wouldn't hydrate and didn't even wait to do that at the hospital; they started the IV of fluids right there in my bed!!
Finally at the hospital I stopped vomiting around noon and someone from work picked me up and took me home.
That was my first experience with the paramedics and they don't wait for you to get dressed presentably - oh Nooo!
I was only wearing a T-shirt and bikini panties and off I went.
Funny thing is that when the hospital released me all I was wearing was my T-shirt and panties and had to go outside to the car with just wearing that 😀
No, even if I weren't a vegetarian, i wouldn't eat it.
Nope, i only eat lean meat.
Yes I have. I like it. It’s healthy
I do... eat cow parts.
No, thank you.
I used to love goose liver (Braunsweiger).
I love the taste of liver.
Maybe on accident. but not knowinglly
I eat it occasionally
No, I can't get past the smell.
Yes, no bone and soft , and also like testicles 😂
Yeap it's delicious
What way do you cook it?
No it made me vomit. The thought of it does it.
I have. Not too bad.
Blech.
Only chicken liver
Not no more.
