liver. When I bite into it a nasty furry film forms on the roof of my mouth and an emetic reflex kicks in.
I believe if I were actually on the verge of real starvation I would not be able to chew and swallow liver without vomiting.
Am I alone in this affliction?
I am currently in the process of trying to make my wife like liver. I made her the most delicious, tender, pink calves liver with pancetta, onions and Marsala the other week. She ate it politely, but later admitted she absolutely hated it. :-(Quote:

The liver may come from the chicken, or from the veal calf. In the case of the chicken it should be fried until brown on the outside but pink in the middle and may be mixed with some fried shallots and garlic, possibly even some crispy croutons, and served on toast. Quite delicious.Quote:

One may prepare a sauce, frequently of Marsala, but this to me is unnecessary, for your Dutch calf will provide all the flavours you need.
A calf, h. In extremis a pig or in some cases, a chicken.Quote:
