    love gizzards as well. Yes grew up poor but the food we ate was mainly raised by us and butchered by us. Love scrambled brains and eggs as well

    Nope, can't do it... mom worked in a grocery store when I was little and the meat market guy knew we were poor and struggling so a lotof the stuff that didn't get bought was given to mom a day before expiration... meaning a a LOT of liver... like liver 3-4 days a week for 3 years... BARF I can't do it!

    We was so poor any kind of meat was looked forward to , compared to armadillo and possum ... liver was a treat . But my mom was a good cook and she made it taste good and we always had it with grits.

    My mother discovered a receipe for cooking liver that does not involve bacon. you cook the liver in Olive oil
    with your onions and when it's sitting in the pan with the cooked onions and adequately done you dump in
    a cup of redwine vinegar
    also fresh Basil was involved but I'm not sure when it's best to add it.

    I also on my own came up with a way of cooking chicken livers in butter with onions, bell peppers a adding a bunch of curry powder and serving over rice that I think is kinda good.... but I've never made it any kind of receipe that can be recorded I make it up as I go along...

    Best time to add fresh basil would be right before plating or it turns black...

    Was you referring to the armadillo, the possum or the liver? I never could acquire a really raving good liking for possum. I ate it but I will eat most anything .

    Mom used to cook it to a fair-the-well. Didn't have a good piece of beef liver until I got married. Yep! bacon fat, lots of onion and liver cooked to still very pink.

    Even though Mom always cooked it to shoe leather, she said best liver was "fresh deer's liver".

    To those who dislike liver and state that it is a filter as a reason, please recall what part of an animal a predator will often eat first!

    wash, slice, soak in milk over night, drain and pat dry, roll in flour, salt and pepper. Fry in bacon grease or butter,just browning both sides. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Start cooking the onions, mushrooms and bacon until just about done before adding liver to skillet. YUM
