I checked for recipes on line Maggie and they all said to fry in butter after dipping into flour seasoned and with a sprinkling of thyme. It also said any longer than five minutes it was overcooked so five minutes remove it and keep warm while finishing off. I will do it again like that too.

That sounds lovely, Ann.
I've never cooked liver in butter before - must try it :-D

We had a few bits of liver over, it was pre packed and in small pieces which suits us fine. I cooked it in butter for 5 minutes and it was lovely and soft. The pieces left over we had for lunch the following day with toast, it was soft enough to spread (like pate) and was delicious.

I never cooked it so I don't suppose I even asked what it was.

I would! :-D :-D :-D

You don't think I can remember that do you?

Which sort of liver, Sharron? I prefer pigs.

As for kidneys - I just fry them :-D

Edit: I wash, de-cartilage (or whatever that hard stuff is) them, and then fry them :-D

As a veggie of forty four years standing I can honestly say that the only meat I miss is liver. I can still remember how it tasted.

Lambs liver, dusted in flour & fried with bacon & onions, served with a thick gravy, potatoes and a selection of veg.

Kidneys are OK chopped into a steak & kidney pie/pudding but can't stomach the smell otherwise.

Tripe is an acquired taste - I haven't got it. Did cook Hearts at school. One of the parents ate it!

I love tripe!
Mum did a lovely tripe and onions.
Sister and I thought she cooked it in milk, and whenever we could find it, we'd cook it - it was never the same as mum's.
We found out she cooked it in water, and added cornflour!

My dad used to love tripe and onions yuck

:-D :-D.

The only offal I cannot stomach is tripe (no pun intended)

;-) ;-)

..too cheap, Bob. It has to be calves liver. :-0

Anyway, what's wrong with offal? Liver and bacon. steak and kidney pud, stuffed hearts. Lovely.

Luckily, most people on here are adult enough to not resort to name calling.

It was NHS Kay and I agree that it was excellent service. :- :-D

Are you NHS Vera,?if so, that excellent paitent service.

Rollo and Bobtonian, I hope you both get good news from your doctors and your problems can be dealt with quickly. Try not to worry too much.

I had a scare myself a few weeks ago. I had a routine review of my medication with the doctor on Monday morning, was sent for blood tests Monday afternoon and 8.30 Tuesday morning had the surgery on the phone saying the doctor wanted to see me straightaway. I have to admit to being a bit frightened by this but in fact the problem, while important, could be dealt with quite easily by medication. Hopefully things will turn out as well for you both.

Well, just back from work again.

Thanks for the insult RTR!

....so you don't like being 'pulled up' for insulting things you say, political rants and spouting opinion as 'truth' or 'fact' - but you're happy enough to call people names.....

It's not the first time, either.

I still think you should have left the thread, I'm not ashamed about what I said.
I've noticed you pull them when you're proved wrong, or you've said something unpleasant, which you had, in that thread.

Edit: and what Hampshire County Council has to do with anything is totally baffling! :-D
Perhaps 'someone' has a problem with them - and somehow thinks I'm implicated :-D
I certainly don't have a problem with them - I don't even work for them :-D
