i can't imagine why someone would eat something toxic like RAW liver.
maybe i am being ignorant, if so, please educate me. and i am from a culture where eating cooked liver is considered a delicacy but i just see it as eating toxins.

That’s a rabbit hole I don’t want to go down again!!! Even my vet told me not to feed my dog too much liver (like once a month was ok but not once a week) due to the vitamin A. And my dog would not eat it raw. Cooked yes, raw no. My dog had more brains than Heidi Nutjob Montag!

Ugh, I can't even stand the smell of liver cooking, much less eating it. My mom forced us to eat it once when we were little. I cried, cut it in tiny pieces and smothered it in ketchup so I didn't have to chew it. Then put some in a napkin and flushed it down the toilet. We raised such a fuss she never made us eat it again.

yeah we had to eat it as kids as well. back then they thought it was healthy and a good way to consume iron. my mom smothered it in grilled onions and green peppers. it wasn't awful like that but now there's no way i would eat it.

I was lucky. My dad won’t eat it either so we never had it at home. I’m’d have gone hungry rather than eat that stuff.

I liked liver and onions as a child, but I don't remember having it once we left Mexico.
Organ meats are very efficiently nutritious, as in they have a high amount of nutrients per serving that are absorbed better than other non-organ meats. For fertility purposes, they're high in folate, I believe, and lots of other vitamins/micronutrients...But in this day and age, we can take supplements for nearly anything, and most people can get enough from other sources--it's really not necessary. If you were a poor pregnant woman or child in a poor country, at risk of malnutrition, then yes, excellent choice.

I'll east just about anything, but organ meats have severely tested me. Only my love of England and two pints of Samuel Adams Chocolate Oatmeal got me through the kidney pie I ate in London. It actually looks adorable, but smelled like the elephant house at the zoo:

My grandfather often cooked liver and onions. He would soak the liver overnight in milk, soaking removed the smell and super iron flavor. He was an amazing cook and I still wouldn't eat that shit and it wasn't half bad.

My mother served liver and onions occasionally when I was growing up, but I have never had it as an adult. I don't know if it was just her lack of cooking skills or what, but it was always tough and dry. The flavor didn't bother me that much.

There seems to be a 2 second window in which it goes from undercooked to tough….

lol, somehow that liver story came up in conversation with my sister this week, and even she remembered that awful day, we did have a laugh but obviously we were both traumatized for life. Let that be a lesson to you moms out there.

My grandma used to cook tripes and liver and all sort of organs (if you couldn’t tell, that’s a clue to guess that my family was poor XD) and every time someone tells me that ‘vegans miss out so much’ I’m like, well, some things should be missed XD It also just smelled terrible, I can’t fathom how that idiot manages to eat that raw.
