Might be overdone by then, just don't boil 'em.

I had some (fresh) liver for dinner tonight, it was pretty darned good. Ribs are on for tomorrow night.


I would at least cook the liver. But actually I would rathe it went somewhere else. Never liver kidney or liver. Maybe my mother introduced them to me too early. I can eat the Chinese style of cooking them, but not much. My mother sometimes made me sheep's brains sandwiches for lunch at school. Not good!

I used to go to a very nice Bulgarian restaurant in Cape Town where the house specialty was sheeps brains. Very nice actually, if a bit creepy looking.
One good thing about your mom making you sheeps brains sandwiches is that the school bully probably did not take your lunch!

I never had a taste for organ meats. Liver, kidney, tongue, brains, tripe, all are disgusting to me.

I have had beef heart a few times over the years, and it isn’t bad, but I won’t go out of my way to eat it.

A friend of mine always said - easy rule: "If it licks, wags or throbs, don't eat it."

I have found that while I do not like kidney, liver or tripe in white sauce, and only have childhood memory of not liking sheep's brains, I have found Chinese cooking of liver, cow tripe to be good. Always liked tongue (beef and pork). Testicles, rooster or bull, are not so nice, although the Chinese soup style of the rooster ones was much better than the US cooking of the bull's.

A friend of mine liked (pig) brain sandwiches and offered me a bite of one.
It looked nice and crispy, but was somewhat mushy on the inside.
One bite was enough to last me a lifetime.

If you could not see me shudder from where you're sitting, I can assure you I was.

Liver is fine, it's the only offal that we keep. I quite like it.

Actually, we kept the heart as well from the last two.
So we have two frozen hearts with no idea what to do with them.

I much prefer English bacon, rather than the stuff over here.
English bacon - or the the English way of (not) preparing bacon?

"Heat gently it until it reaches the drinking temperature of beer, then serve."

It is really useful, instead of just cash for purchasing items from community members we can just email transfer.
Here all the rage is transferring money with your phone. All you need is the phone number of the recipient. The money is transferred from your (linked) card to the recipient's account in seconds. Very easy to use, and there are enough safety mechanisms that it feels safe.

Yep, "there's an app for that"

Btw, we're just some 10 years behind East Africa and their M-Pesa

And that, children, is what happens to you when you eat liver.
