Love it!

Love it as long as it not overcooked.

Yup, love it the way I fix it, but haven't had it in AGES.

Moni

Yes, I fix mine the same way you do, and love them. The other suggestion sounds good, too.

Haven't had it since I was pregnant and my doctor went through a list of things NOT to eat, such as soft (non-pasteurized) cheeses, etc. He said to stay away from liver -- it used to be good, but now the liver is just a depository for all of the drugs that are given to cows during their lifetime. Drug-free organic liver and onions would be good, though!

I hated it growing up it was like shoe leather. Then I was served some by an Air Force cook and fell in love with it.

A non-lover, here. I don't like the texture or the taste. I used to cook it for Hubs & Son, because they liked it, and it did SMELL good, but, no thank you.

Love it too!

I like it, IF it is calves liver.

Haven't had any for a long time; can't find calves liver.

I did it the way Jel48 does, except I use the "scrapings" to make gravy, by adding water and salt and pepper. That is how my Mama did it.

I dip mine in flour that was seasoned with Lawry's Seasoned Salt and a dash of garlic powder. I fry my onions in a seperate pan.

Nobody here eats it, so I rarely eat it. I used to make it often, until a pharmacist said while it may taste good and have some good parts to it (the iron content) the liver cleans poisons from the system and it's so fatty it's one of the unhealthier meats out there. Once she told me it's basically a filter for garbage, I cut back on eating it.

We love it here but don't have it very often.

I saute lots of onions and bell peppers in bacon grease, then remove them from the pan and put them in a casserole dish. I put the liver in very hot water for a few minutes and then drain them. Dredge the liver in flour salt and pepper and cook until just done. Transfer it to the casserole dish and put into oven at 325 until the rest of the meal is ready. I make a nice gravy from the drippings in the pan and serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. The liver always comes out tender and delicious.

Not for me.

I do like it, but can't say I love it. Just once in a great while I get hungry for it. Your meal sounds really good.

Hate it!

Bad,ugly and bad! I haven't had liver since I was a young girl, until this year. My Mom use to make us eat it.I would cut it in really small pieces and try to swallow it without tasting it. Until I almost choked. Mom never made me eat it again. This year when I was going through chemo, I became anemic and my friend told me to eat liver. I would have tried anything and thought that I could do it. I fixed it three different ways and it was just as bad as I remembered. I had some left in the freezer when I went for my transfusion and was telling my nurse about it. She loved liver. So, I called my husband and told him to bring that liver with him when he picked my up. The nurse got a gift that day.

My husband likes it and he eats it occasionally when we go out.......No thank you for myself.......

I love liver. But if it is overdone, you can just toss it in the trash. I am the only one who likes it though, so I rarely have it at home. And I don't often find it in restaurants, but when I do I treat myself.

I used to love liver......until I undercooked some and gave myself a life-threatening case of salmonella 17 years ago. Haven't had liver since.

But I would have given up liver and kidneys (I used to love them, too) anyway because, as someone else pointed out, they are a repository for whatever drugs and toxins the animal ingests. Too bad......at one time they were considered highly nutritious.

Never cared for it as a kid (had one of those mom's who made it and forced us to eat it, too). And now, as an adult, knowing how very bad it is for us to eat (think about the function of the liver--the person above who mentioned it's purpose is to filter out harmful poisons is correct), I wouldn't touch it with a 50 foot pole.

UGH!
Hate it!
It's one thing that my Mom never tried to
make us eat. She would fix it for my Dad.
My sisters and I would get hotdogs! It smells good.
But tastes terrible!

I love it the way jel48 had it in the restaurant, but not floured and fried with gravy. I get it often when we eat out, because I hate the way it smells. Ick!

bad AND ugly :)

I have not tried it in over 30 years, but when I was a kid my mom would "insist" that I eat it when she cooked it. BTW, mom was not a very good cook, and all meat was well done. Perhaps if I were to try a bite that was not shoe leather it might be good!

YUM!!!! DH and I both love it! I don't make it very often as there are 2 mom & pop restaurants we frequent that have it as a special quite often. He should not be eating it because of his gout so I give him the evil eye when he orders it!

When I was a kid my Mom fixed it every few weeks and we had to eat it. I hated it, haven't had it since and I won't eat it again.

I would have to pass on that....thanks anyways.

Guess what I am going to make tonight thanks to this posting....Love liver and onions if not overcooked, and I always cook bacon with it.,..it's the best !!! Thanks .

When I was a kid Thursday nights were liver and onions. I hated the stuff. Those were the days where you couldn't leave the table until you finished every bite. Needless to say every week I sat late into the night at that table refusing to eat. I finally learned that holding my breath and turning blue got me released from the table.

I love battered deep-fried chicken livers....yum. But rarely eat them any more because of the high cholesterol content.......now that I read here about the toxins I'll probably skip them entirely. :0(

Sauteed chopped chicken livers, onions, mayo and hard boiled egg. Not beef or calves liver thankyouverymuch.

I love liver and bacon, hold the onions. However, due to my kidney failure, I'm not allowed to eat organ meats or shellfish , another favorite (lobster, crab,scallops).

We absoluely love it !! I usually do mine similar to Jel's but instead of margarine, I figure, what the heck, if I'm going to clog my arteries, I might as well go for the bacon and those yummy drippings to cook the onions and liver in. Then make a nice roux and make gravy to pour over. Just cook it until it is 'set' and not overcooked. Mashed potatoes and fried okra and spiced apples for sides..

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeelish !!

As a kid, my Mom would make it usually overcooked it, and I HATED it, only way I could choke it down was to slather in mustard to hide the taste, and the texture ugh!!! A few years ago my daughters boyfriend urges me to try his, he floured them then sauteed with onion and mushrooms, his special trick was to not overcook, then add white wine and simmer, while it made its own wonerful sauce, was very tender and tasty.

VERY ugly yuckkkk..

jel, you made my mouth water at the description of your meal!!!! Liver is something I hated as a kid, but love, love, love now!! I don't make it myself - I'm not much of a cook, but I love to have it when I am out. Especially if a place is known for it. Now, I wonder who's serving it around here tonight??????

My favorite place to eat liver was in the school luncheoon. Most kids wouldn't eat it, but the teachers sure would.

Never taught in a school that didn't serve good cooked liver and gravy.

Love, love, love it! As long as I don't have to cook it!

Ugly it is, I do eat it but perfer not to. DH and GS love it, I make it about 3 or 4 times a year. I could live without it

I love it too but haven't had it in a while because nobody else in this household likes it.LOL When I did have it on a regular basis I always used calves liver.I cook it the way my mother did.Salt and pepper the liver and dredge in flour.Cut up an onion and throw it in a heavy skillet with a little oil and let it cook until it is tender and slightly brown.Remove it to a bowl and set aside,then brown the liver in the same oil.Move the browned liver to the side of the pan,scrape up the stuff from the bottom of the pan,add some flour and water to make gravy,slide the liver and onions back into the gravy,cover and let cook about 20 minutes.MMMMM I can almost taste it now.
A friend had never cooked liver before and invited me over one day for liver and onions.I was kind of scared because she wasn't a very good cook in the first place so I didn't know what I would be getting!LOL If it wasn't good I didn't want to hurt her feelings by refusing to eat it and there's not much of anything worse than bad liver and onions!LOL When she put the dish on the table I though,"Well,it doesn't look too bad".It was absolutely delicious! She cooked the onions first in oil then browned the liver like I always do.She put it all in the bottom of a casserole dish and poured cream of mushroom soup over it,baked it in the oven and it was soooo good.Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised!

I haven't had them in Years!!!!
I like them pretty good, but not my favorite.

Love calves liver and onions just like you make them but I use bacon drippings to cook the liver.

Sadly I can't eat ave liver anymore because of my high uric acid level.

I was looking at the liver in the store the other day and was wishing I could have some.

I don't order it in restaurants though because I find they don't usually flour the liver before cooking. I also soak the liver in milk before I cook it.
