Me and my brother make gravy with the gibblets inside turkeys and even chicken. Everyone snarfs it down because we don't explain what we did. LOL.
Liver is just like liver pate (Foi gras, anyone?) sort of more concentrated.
One day,
@FranC when I come to visit my extra mom, I will make a spaghetti sauce more delicious than you have ever had before using ground turkey, an onion and the secret spices from my spice rack and olive oil. I have yet to meet anyone that doesn't like mah cooking. Oh my. I also have the BEST recipe ever for a chicken Caesar salad, and yes, it does have anchovy paste but in exactly the right amount. I like to cook I JUST GOT NO TIME. LOL. Finding the gourmet ingredients needed for that salad would be hard.
I know a lot of people have an instinctual hatred for liver, even the smell. I was not expecting to hate it (I have also eaten brain and tongue, they were both GOOD.)
I had to argue the tongue with my mother because it was a cheap meat, she was hiding it under gravy. She kept LYING about what it was and I KNEW IT. So I scraped away the gravy and announced, "Look TASTE BUDS EWWW." but I thought it tasted fine. I was just I hate when my mom lied, dude, she should have just said, "Eat your tongue, it's all we got money for at the moment and SHUT UP."
We all still had to eat it. It was pretty cool though. My mom knew I knew.... I was a stubborn as her, too. LOL I think I got punished but I can't remember. If I were to list all my childhood and adolescent punishments, I'd still be writing this tomorrow! Speaking of that, notes shortly! I AH AM AWAKE.
