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)

It's good to hear everyone is making this a once-in-while thing. My dad had a very large serving of chicken livers the night of his first heart attack. I don't think my mom has been able to serve it since...

I used to enjoy chicken liver and chopped liver. Until I realized what it was (the same time I realized tongue was actually tongue). While I'm sure Fois Gras is amazing, the whole concept of it makes me super sad. I hope those who enjoy it will enjoy some on my behalf.

The Vegemite doesn't much care for it.

So, am I wrong in thinking this thread will outrun the "Bacon Is Meat Candy" Thread ?

And no one has yet mentioned the liver scene in Portnoy's Complaint.

Wait. I just did. Consider it mentioned.

Kept geese in his basement so Spoiler: he could jam a funnel down their gullets and pour in corn. When he had fattened their livers, he brought them upstairs and killed them in his bathtub. He was French.
