Chicken livers... It's what's for dinner

[Emilie.Lancaster 189]

Beef goes down hard for me. Two bites and there is a rock in my belly. And I'm only slightly happier with chicken and pork. Fish is good, especially undercooked salmon. eggs are hating me.

Tonight, at a fancy restaurant, there was a chicken liver appetizer. I thought, mmmmm, that's like mostly pre chewed food already! They were cooked perfectly, not overdone, and they went down easy. Stayed down. I chewed and swallowed 3 lovely, lightly fried chicken livers. I didn't even feel overfull! At 57 cal each - fried - and 7g Protein each, worse choices have been made.

Check it out! It was good.

(8.5 weeks post op, me, and almost 30 pounds down, feeling really good.)

I LOVE chicken livers, even the gizzards if I slow cook them in a crock pot, they melt in your mouth after an overnight slow cook!

Maybe it's the memory of being made to eat livers weekly as a kid, but NOTHING you just wrote has changed my mind...I'd rather starve! Sure glad you found something that agrees with you though.

I have always loved liver - beef or chicken versions. I've converted the husband too, as I soak beef liver overnight in milk to remove the bitter taste, and I add a bit of hot pepper and garlic to my chicken liver recipe - they are awesome!

Yuck, yuck, and yuck! It's weird but my mother always made me eat chicken liver, beef liver and chicken gizzards and hearts over rice as a kid.

Yuck! Did I say that already.

I will say that I used to work at a churches fried chicken when I was very young. We offered deep fried gizzards and I loved those.

I also use the turkey liver, gizzard and heart in my stuffing but they are puréed in a food processor first and make fabulous flavor in stuffing.

I glad you found a Protein that agrees with you. The only way I will eat liver is if it is minced and well hidden in spicy food, or wrapped in bacon and baked. Otherwise, Blechhhhhh!

When I was pregnant with one of my kids, I actually craved chicken liver and gizzards dipped in chocolate milk. I would eat it and hen throw up and then eat some more and then throw up. lol it was a horrible ride. I can't look at them the same way now. Glad you found something to work for you though!
