    Default Liver and onions

    I 'm pretty sure a lot of you don't have the acquired taste for liver and onions, but for those who do, where have you had the best liver? I've been to a few. Mr. Schnapps, Cattle Barons, the rat and parrot, and the ship and anchor. The best so far in my opinion would be the cattle baron. I feel its the less greasiest and the most tender. All of these places are located in the deep south.

    Love liver and onions! I don't know many tips for Calgary but years ago you could get a pretty decent liver and onions dinner at the Cash Casino cafeteria.

    I used to hate it (mom used to put it in congee - if you don't know what it is, ask an Asian person), but recently I had a Sudanese guy fry some up for me and they were fantastic...

    I used to eat it every one or two weeks when I lived at home. The onions were the only thing that made it somewhat edible.

    Haven't eaten it since. Nor will I. The innards of animals are not there to be eaten imo.

    blech! i never had liver as a kid, and only ate it once as an adult. i was at the farmer's market and they were giving out samples of pot pies, and for some reason i grabbed the liver and onion pie without thinking that there was actually liver in it. well, once i bit into that nasty texture i knew something was wrong... and i had to spit it out.

    for whatever reason, that texture reminds me of the texture of Planaria:

    You gotta try the Indian Style Liver. It's called "Kaleji/Kalegi" (pronounced with a "J" sound, not G).

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Caucasian have beer nuts/peanuts to eat with beer, Vietnamese have animal innards to eat with fish sauce and beer


    Once thing my dad eats while drinking beer that is nasty is I think its dried and cured squid, very salty and you basically toast it on an open flame for a bit and enjoy....

    Cattle Barons and a few of the Greek restaurants; Parthenon on Heritage comes to mind. If not available, ask Dina, the owner if they can.

    Its popular in the UK and Germany but it is definitely not restricted there...it is a popular american dish and pretty standard in diners/home style restaurants in America.

    Looked up some images for this dish. And I must admit, it looks way better than it sounds. I'll definitely give this a try if I get a chance.
