Or, at least until your liver explodes. And hey, that's how they make it!

I do love liverwurst, though. I associate with my baby days. My Grandpappy sure loved that stuff.

The liver is the filter of the body. It removes all of the toxic substances, and then....you eat it? Why?

Despite that I have been known on occasion to take a bite of Turkey or Chicken liver when I'm boiling the giblits for the gravey (like twice a year). And partake of Pate at a party (which has been only a hand full of times in my life). Other than that, considering I'm watching my cholesterol and there is no food higher in the stuff (and the above statement), I avoid it.

Which reminds me of a guy I used to work with. Kept geese in his basement so

Spoiler:

He was French.

Well, the toxins don't stay in the liver.....

This is the reason why I prefer regular-sized livers, not Foie Gras.

Plus: as one who's had a heart-attack, I certainly wouldn't have liver every day (or even every week) but it's nice as a bear-treat occasionally !

In Georgetown by the canal there is a lovely French Bistro that makes fabulos Pate Campagne. Also splendid pastries.

I'm glad I'm not close enough to go there. Pate, for me, is a once in a while treat. Same goes for good Chopped Chicken Livers (Lash, remind me to take you to Max's Opera Cafe next time you are in SF, they have splendid Matzo Ball Soup [the size of softballs] and fabulous chopped chicken liver)
