Absolutely NOT, no way, gag me with a spoon!!! I hate liver. This sandwich makes me want to hurl! Plus, raw onions on top! Yuck!! Disgusting!
So here are a couple of liver stories:
1. When I was little, my mom put the giblets in the turkey dressing. They tasted like liver to me--except chewier. When we were kids, we had to eat everything on our plate. I'm sitting at Thanksgiving dinner and was gagging on the dressing. I got sent away to my room--I'm sure I was making everyone else sick. I was happy to go and get out of eating that grossness! I'm the only person I know who was ever sent away from Thanksgiving dinner. But, I was totally okay with it!
2. My mom made another dish with liver--risotto. I know now that--that's Italian for "rice." My mom called this liver and rice dish--"risotto." To us, that was the name for that particular dish. I never liked it--although, I will admit it smelled good when it was cooking. It was gross. I can't believe she put the recipe in the box with all of her other recipes as a shower gift for me. I tore it up!
3. Mom made us braunschweiger sandwiches for lunch. She sliced it pretty think--maybe half the size shown above. I gagged on that at lunch. Since we went to Catholic school, the nuns patrolled the cafeteria to make sure we were all eating our lunch. You HAD to eat whatever your mom put in your lunchbox. At the time, I had no idea that braunschweiger had liver in it. I just knew I didn't like it.
4. When Butch and I got married, he wanted braunschweiger. When I was buying Oscar Mayer, underneath braunschweiger, it said: "liver sausage." What?? I sort of freaked out. I had no idea. I literally gagged in the grocery store!
5. My brother, Ronnie's wife, Janet, told me that she only bought braunschweiger in order to put pills in it for the dogs. She said that Ronnie kept eating it! I guess he liked it from childhood! Ugh!
6. When I waitressed at WT Grants, every Monday was "All You Can Eat" liver and onions. We sold a heck of a lot of that, but it was always gross to me. 99 cents must have been a deal because we had a lot of repeat customers every week.
7. When my girls were babies, we had to try all of the baby foods to make sure our babies weren't allergic to anything. I wouldn't even subject my babies to that!
8. Early on in our friendship with Jack & Connie, we were at a cocktail party. There were these--what appeared to be--bacon wrapped scallops--at least that's what Jack assured me that they were. Oh, no. It was bacon wrapped liver! I almost lost it right there. It ruined my night. I could not get the taste out of my mouth!! Why in the world would I trust a man who gave me wine that had turned to vinegar, not once, but twice! That's just my own fault.
9. So, even though I never subjected my babies to liver, somehow Stephanie got ahold of it! She actually likes "foie gras"! That's fancy French for liver!! I'm appalled that somehow, I didn't raise her right after all!
10. Well, that's really the end of my liver stories. But I just had to have a #10. So, here it is. Do you like liver?? If you answer in the affirmative, we can no longer be friends.
