[QUOTE=Barbarian]  
The only reason to eat a chicken liver is because someone stole your cat and you can’t be bothered to walk out to the compost heap.

I’ll be stealing this.

Repeatedly.

[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.]  
It burst like a juicy grape and there was an awful taste in my mouth. A sharp taste that hit the back of my tongue. Not acidic, but… have you ever accidentally got a taste of rubbing alcohol? Really bitter.  
[/QUOTE]

Why did you have to describe this in vile detail? Why? WHY??

Yeah, to get your answer, I know. But…_damn_ you.

His name is not a coincidence - he’s the SDMB chicken expert.  
[/QUOTE]

Wow, I feel so special! Guess I should finish getting lettered so my expertise is official 🙂

And yeah, I’m a female. “Pullet” is the word for a young female chicken who isn’t a baby, but hasn’t started laying eggs yet.

ETA: Nothing weird with eating chicken livers. If I hadn’t had pathology classes first, I’d probably like them myself. And, it would have made pathology more delicious.

And of course, bile is often a component of vomit. So you ate chicken puke.

The top layer of which he then regurgitated. It’s like anti-gravity juice.
