Question Liver: Food of gods or menace to humanity

I don't care for liver, just as I don't care for any other part of most land animals. My husband, on the other hand, hates it with the passion of a thousand Latin lovers. As a matter of fact, humanity seems to be evenly split between haters and lovers, at least that's how I see it.

What do you think? Should I get going adding that recipe for higado encebollado I have been asked aout?

My family is divided along the middle. Dad and sis love it, Mum and I hate it. Luckily I was never made to eat it, but Dad and Sis carried out unsuccessful campaigns, but had to slink off defeated to granny's house to eat it.

I share Aunt Clara's husband's loathing. I can't even be in a house where they cook it. I once lived in a shared house where everyone was vegetarian except the cat, and the cat's owner decided to bolster its ailing health with an iron-rich diet. I was not too happy about that, I'll tell you.

Can you guess which way I voted?

Thumbs down

I have bad memories of liver and onions and remember being made to eat it at primary school. We used to have a really strict dinner lady who always made us eat our lunches even if we didn't want it and we weren't allowed to go out to play unless we'd eaten at least half of it. Whenever my late grandad cooked liver it always smelt really nice, I think he used to cook it with bacon but I was always dissapointed whenever I'd tuck in and it still tasted horrid. I just can't stand the stuff! yuck!!!

I kind of feel left out! Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut..........I LOVE it!! The only problem is some people do not cook it right! My uncle's wife, along with her other cooking disasters, just destroys this dish!!! She cuts the liver into little squares and leaves the lining (or whatever it's called) on the liver so it feels tough and slimy and it squirts out it's juices when you bite into it just like an episode of Fear Factor!!!! Yuk! Well but when I say i love higado(liver) I mean I love the way my mom makes it. She makes it just like bistec encebollado.

I haven't tried making it but as I remember her making it, she puts a small bit of oil in the pan and waits till its very hot drops the liber until it's gets golden brown. The trick is to put in the green pepers and onions till after the liver softens. Then you put in the peppers and after you are almost done you pour in the red onions that has been sitting in vinegar. I tell you this dish comes out really sweet as if you put sugar in it........or maybe she does I'll ask her. I know she puts sugar in the chicken but I haven't seen that recipe in the website.
