That stuff STINKS when being cooked. I can eat baby beef with lots of onions if nothing else is available but don't come near me with mature liver.

My mom cooked it fairly often while I was growing up.
But my dad always liked his meat cooked beyond belief so it was tougher than whalebone.
I aint bad when cooked with bacon and onions.

1st or 2nd year I deer hunted, about 1976 or 77, we group hunted a dozen or so guys and someone shot a deer and one of the older guys about 65 I think cuts a chunk off that steaming, bleeding liver and starts chewing it down. I can see him standing there with that dark blood running down his chin. One of the most disgusting things i have ever witnessed. Don't touch the stuff.

 Like a lot of things, its all in the prep, I'm not a fan of eating liver that's been frozen and then cooked to the texture of a red wing boot, that's just nasty. I do like it fresh though, we usually get a whole beef in late summer and the farmer always brings us the liver and heart fresh the day of slaughter, before the rest is done at the butcher shop. Cooked medium rare with onions and butter, sometimes bacon, its pretty good stuff. My neighbor also makes pork liver during deer season that stuff is really good, not sure of his recipe.  digin1

I like liver but don't eat it much any more. I't just not the same without breading and gravy. The breading I can get around by using almond meal and crushed pork skins, but i have yet to come up with a decent gravy without flour.

My mom used to make the best calves liver, bacon, and onions. I loved it almost as much as the cows tongue she also cooked. Now the only liver I get is the turkey liver fried up on Thanksgiving for breakfast. digin1

I always cook deer liver, my son eats it with me, but nobody else.  My hunting buddies know to save the liver for me when they bag a deer  ;D

My late FIL when eating chicken or turkey used to say every part strengthens a part, give your mother the breast.
I probably should eat more liver for the above reason.
The first year i was in my hunting club I didnt shoot a deer , but visited the gut piles of my pals bucks and retrieved the livers and hearts.
took 9 livers and 10 hearts home with me.
Ate all the hearts some just boiled and some pickled, but got overdosed on liver pretty quickly.
My nickname the next few seasons was the vulture.

Love fresh deer and elk liver. An elk liver and heart are a real delicacy,  but the elk tongue is the real bomb. Boiled with onions an garlic salt, then cooled, peeled and sliced, a little bit of heaven. Lamb liver and heart the same thing. Very mild. I like the liver cooked with bacon and onions. The heart sliced medium, floured, seasoned and fried medium rare. I've also had elk kidneys sauted in butter and garlic that was tender and delicious.

Someone mentioned cow tongue.

The youth at a neighbor church challenged my youth to a game of ''cow tongue football''. Frozen cow tongue passes kinda like a football but when it gets to thawing out and it gets longer and more limp it can slap the receiver and it can be stolen easier.

Best use I have found for cow tongue yet.
