“Why you love Liver and Onion meals?”

Bella said:
I remember my mother cooking liver, sautéed onions, and bacon when I was a kid, and I always liked it. My college boyfriend's mother loved liver. I cooked it for her once, and after that she always asked me to do it. I think it was the bacon that got her. 😊

That sounds good with bacon! I forgot, my mom made gravy with hers that was delicious. I haven't been any where since where people make gravy with theirs.

One of my absolute favorite hot meals.

Me too. When my mom made that for dinner, the onions would be kind of scorched (others may say burned), but that's the way I like them. I love liverwurst too. When my 4 kids were younger, I fed them liverwurst balls for a snack. They ate them. I was making sure they would not miss out on eating delicious liverwurst sandwiches.

Something made 3 of them stop eating liverwurst balls. Only one of those kids still loves liverwurst and liver.

One of the few things my Mom didn't know how to cook beef liver with onions. The liver was always tough. In my 20s a roommate made some cooked slow with a little bit of cider vinegar in the pan. Learned how to do myself. But i'm the only one who eats now.

Same with breaded chicken livers, too much work for just me. But some years when son and grandson come to visit son asks for some and then it's worth it.

My mom didn't bread the chicken livers, so I like them naked except for draped in onions.

I try to eat a 4 ounce piece of veal once a month for the mineral and vitamin content. I don’t necessarily like it, but it’s one of those foods that I eat not for enjoyment, but health. I usually eat Veal Parmesan.

I like veal, but I have not eat it since I was 20. That's when I found out how it is raised. I don't eat lamb (except for once) ... they are too cute!

Many years ago, I saw liverwurst all the time in the lunch meat section (predominately gray, with white around the edges) and when I looked for it a couple of years ago, couldn't find it anywhere. Will check again next time I shop.

If it was in square slices, it was called liver cheese. The slices were surrounded by white fat, which we removed. Doesn't that sound awful? It was good, though.

Walmart sells liverwurst. John Morrell Braunschweiger. Not in all stores, but they do here.

Oh my, I forgot about this! I just put some on my grocery list for next week. I like it thin sliced on a piece of toast with a thin coating of mayo on the bread. Have you tried WalMart, @MACKTEXAS ? This is the brand mine carries.

As only eater of liverwurst in the house (tho the furbabies clearly want to try it) i usually get it at deli section just enough for a couple of sandwiches. I've found out that you can freeze it, but to me it wasn't as flavorable as fresh.

I always made tiny liverwurst balls for my dogs -- hid their pills in them. I agree, liverwurst must be fresh. (I hope we don't find out it is "fresh from frozen".)

I want to make a wild over-generalization. But, American women don't know how to cook. :D
 
we both love liver and onions. We used to go out to eat at a Greek family restaurant. It was a "Senior Special" for $6.99 but sadly, we don't go out much and the restaurant closed during covid and didn't reopen. Suppose I could make it...nah. I do make a good chicken liver pate at the holidays. Yum.

Mack look for Braunschweiger....Walmart as well as other grocery stores carry it, I like it on a sandwich or with just saltines.

I also really like liver and onions (just had some last week) and fried chicken livers.

Mama doesn't care for liver and onions, chicken livers or braunschweiger which just leaves more for me. :)

Oh, yes! Liver and onions cooked with bacon...slowly. so it's tender and juicy

Chicken livers, fried either breaded or not.

OR boiled and mashed into chopped liver paste with a little mayo, finely chopped onions and a dash of hot sauce. Spread on a saltine cracker. Note: this ain't no fancy-pantsy pate whut yuh'd get at sum rich folk's  swaray, this is sum good eatin' lak mah old granny usedta make!
 
My mother would sometimes make Liver & Onions and force us to eat it, but I haven't had it since then. I used to like the chopped liver from the deli when I was young, but after I tried to make it myself when I was in college, I was so grossed out by dealing with the liver that I haven't had it since.

I love chopped liver. I forgot about that. It is the food of the gods.

Another fan of chopped chicken liver spread.

Adding a bit of fluorescent green pickle relish or horseradish doesn’t hurt.
