Yellow spots on chicken liver (need answer soon)

Factual Questions
1

I bought some chicken livers yesterday to make pate. One of the livers in the container has a mottled appearance, with some yellowish color on the otherwise red liver (picture here). I know that if the liver is yellowish as a whole it’s OK to eat since it’s just fatty, but if it’s spotty like this does that mean it’s bad?

Since I already had cooked the other ingredients for the pate when I discovered this, I went ahead and threw the other livers (not this one) in and made it. Is the pate safe to eat or should I throw the whole thing out?

Those are fat plaques. Perfectly fine, though that chicken was going to develop health issues for lack of exercise and too much eating :smiley:

Are you implying that it wasn’t a Foster Farms chicken? :slight_smile:

Just avoid green bits. I thought I’d poisoned myself a few years ago (posted a thread about it). The green bits are the gall bladder. Eat them not.

Thanks all (esp aruvqan) for the advice. The patewas a hit!

6

It’s always good advice to not eat the green wobbly bit. Even rats know that. At least the educated ones do.

:wink:

You do mean that hideous green jello concoction that shows up at church socials, right? It often has grated carrots in it, an may be topped with mayonaise. Really? Seriously?

It is my conjecture that that particular dish was inspired by the sight and smell of a gangrenous gall bladder.

This made me gag.

This did not.
What the hell is wrong with me??:smiley:
