Yeah, Sam’s is always good for meat (I’ve already eaten it all since then), and suadero is an interesting cut, being very rose-colored compared with most cuts of beef, but makes for good tacos. I was shocked to see that shank at the same store is now up to $6.49/lb. That’s a cut I feel should be living in the $3.99 to $4.99/lb space now.
As a kid, beef liver was my favorite food (with Lima beans). My mother knew how to cook it so it didn’t get tough. I’ve made it form time to time, but my wife doesn’t like it, so not in a while.
But several local diners offer it, so I’m ok.
I’m also a fan of chopped liver. My main local source went out of business a few weeks ago and I’m in mourning. I can never make it right.
With a nice Chianti, no doubt.
So many of us like liver, it’s nice to know that we’re of the same kidney.
The only type of liver I’ve tried is chicken livers, and only as an ingredient, but I’ve enjoyed them that way.
Bohemian liver dumpling soup. Super yum.
Chicken livers in red spaghetti sauce. Quite tasty.
My wife makes an amazing chicken liver pate every Passover. It’s as light as a cloud. Served on matza with caramelized onion jam, it’s the highlight of the Seder meal.
Ok here’s what I found at my store:
Pork liver, beef liver : $2.49/lb
Lamb liver: $5.99/lb
Pork kidney, pork heart: $2.49/lb
Lamb kidney: $6.99/lb
Didn’t see veal kidney today or beef heart.
Oh, chicken liver at $1.99/lb
I’ve seen pork liver at the Asian grocery store. Anyone know how it compares to beef or calf liver?
I’m totally off liver because my Mom used to feed calf liver to me once in a while because it was supposedly “healthy”. I hated the taste of it, and still do.
My theory is that the reason that liver and onions is a thing is that the fresh tangy taste of onions helps offset the horribleness of the liver. I say why not have the nice onions with something decent instead, like sauteed and then simmered with baked beans and bacon! 
Pork liver is milder and less minerally than beef. We use it for our liver dumpling soup.
I don’t eat a hell of a lot of liver because it is a bit stinky and my wife and kids don’t like the smell of it, but when they’re gone, I like to occasionally stir fry some chicken liver, onions, and jalapeños. Oh god I love that stuff so much.
does anyone remember being fed Doan’s little liver pills
I rarely shop at Walmart. Do their grocery prices vary from location to location?
I ask because the “AI Overview” on Google says average price of beef liver is $3 to $10 per pound, with conventional options at $4 to $5. Calves liver has an average price of $10.95 to $21.39 per pound, with some budget options at $7 to $8. For comparison, chuck steak (generally one of the cheapest beef steak cuts) runs $7 to $11 per pound.
I don’t know. I rarely shop there either. Liver is about the only thing I get there. My daughter and I are both borderline anemic. I first noticed it there a year or so ago.Their website has the current price. It comes frozen, pre-sliced.
Surprising to me. I ate chopped chicken liver as a youth–it was a delicacy that I enjoyed, and miss today because of the high cholesterol levels. But it’s tasty, and I remember fondly spreading it out on a Ritz cracker and enjoying it immensely.
I should, my prices above are for fresh, not frozen. I also live in Chicago where there’s a number of ethnic populations that eat all sorts of meat cuts. I realize that in a lot of places much of the offal will be much harder to find. Hell, even within the city you have to know who is likely to have what. I’m lucky as my grocery serves neighborhoods with Hispanics, Eastern Europeans, Middle Easterners, and a smattering of Chinese.
Haven’t had calf’s liver in a long time but I remember liking it a little bit.
I fondly remember OM liverwurst sandwiches at school.
I am absolutely crazy about foie gras.
And I seem to remember a remarkable chicken liver ´curry’ I had in Lao years ago.
So I guess you can call me team liver.
It’s almost like we grew up on different planets.
I remember! but only the TV commercials from childhood. We kids weren’t given any; it was old people medicine. Doan’s Pills were for backaches and Carter’s Little Pills were for some mysterious unnamed malady. (I have just learned they were a laxative.)
you’re absolutely right, it was Carter’s LLP, my bad
Here I thought you were combining the names for a laugh!
Is it too much of a hijack to ask: do you remember Absorbine Jr? Nasty, nasty stuff.
