2 foods I absolutely cannot stand:  liver (any) and beets.

Dust the Liver with flour salt and black pepper, Fry in bacon grease covered with sliced onions until golden brown. Take out the liver. Add flour to make a rue. add water to the rue to get  a thickened gravy. bring to a slow boil reduce heat and put the liver back in and simmer for 20 min. Serve with mashed taters and scratch biscuits. Best meal one could ever have.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

If you are going to try it might be an idea to check with the wildlife authorities in the area first.


that's good advice i think...

Peanut oil and butter heated to just smoking in a cast iron skillet. Add fresh chopped garlic and onion. Cook until softened and yellow.
Dredge the liver in seasoned flour and put in the pan. Pan fry until done. Meaning, it is still pliable and has some clear juices still coming out.

You'll is ~

Pickled beet are a great side. It adds color to the plate and freshens the pallet.

    GOOD on you. Can't hurt to try anything.
    I wonder what most hunters do with they're deer?  We can and grind everything most of the time except for the tenderloin and sweet bread.  Do some steaks and ribs every once in a while.

Steaks, back strap, tenderloin, spicy grind, sometimes sausage.

We just cleaned out our freezer and I made a couple of bags of jerky out of meat from last year.

The heart and kidneys go to relatives or friends who want it. Some time's my cousin will cook up a fresh liver that evening otherwise forget it, blah. I had an uncle who used to request we send him the brain. He would fry it up like abalone and make a sandwich out of it. It's not bad but I'd take an ab any day.

Liver and kidneys...FILTERS. What does the oil filter in your car do??? The gas filter in your gas line????
Just "food for thought"... so to speak.

That is why I won't eat them!

3_tens, no offense, but beets are just as bad as liver!  You shouldn't crap red.

I always eat a piece of liver when I field dress my deer. Did it with my antelope too. Gives you the spirit of the deer and antelope.  Cool

Helo. Have you ever had pig snooters or souse (Head cheese) I like to slice it thin and pickle it in vinegar for a few days.
