   @ Valerie Valle’s yesterday reply
   …
   I apologize if I misjudged you. But your first text is far open to any kind of misinterpretation.
   What you wrote in your reply about the behavior of dogs and humans is quite normal. I have no problem with it.
   …
   Sorry!

   It’s not chopped liver, it’s sliced. I don’t think bacon can save either one, though.

   I can’t stand any kind of liver. As a friend of mine says, “They’re FILTERS!!!”

   I think you mean kidneys. They filter the blood. The liver provides bile for digestion and regulates blood chemicals. (Very simplified).

   I’ve heard that livers are the garbage cans of bodies; i.e., that’s where the toxins wind up, the ones not excreted.

   Here in the US, lamb fries are testicles. They’ve been used on several of the cooking competition shows to throw the chefs off their game. Yum, yum!

   Similar to my old favorite recipe. I marinate the liver in red wine vinegar, skip the lemon juice.

    I once had a German Shepherd who came close to suffering an untimely death at the hands on my roommate. My dog had learned open the fridge and discovered a 2 lb. pate the roomie had spent hours making for a party. The dog was considerate and only ate about half of it !
    I had an airtight alibi, so we knew who the culprit was, laying there fat, not-so-dumb, happy and guilty.
    He got a little more pate when roomie sliced away the obvious teeth marks, and served the remainder as planned. Dog and I kept quiet.

    As a kid , I’d stave before I’d eat liver. But in the service, I developed a taste for it. Hell, in the service, you’d eat anything that weren’t rations.
    There was a great little bar & grill restaurant in Manchester, Connecticut that did a Friday night special on liver and onions ( with bacon of course ). It was the best liver I ever had. It was always cooked to perfection. Of course the fact that it was smothered in fried onions and bacon helped.
