Now I love liver, but I suppose I understand that it doesn't appeal
to
everyone! Anyway, my husband's B12 is so low it doesn't even read on
the
chart and liver is apparantly one of the best sources of B12 around -
I
mean
apart from shots. So off I go to the store and get some calf's liver.
To
make a long story short, it's now in the freezer.

I should add that he's also got shingles, and I think he thought I
was
trying to finish him off!! My question though, does anyone have a
favourite
liver recipe that cuts down on the strong flavour. I've always cooked
it
up
with onions - which is fine with me. But perhaps if I try to disguise
it
somewhat with a cream sauce or something (?), maybe it would be more
agreeable. Should add, it doesn't make him gag or anything, he said
he
could eat it a 'few' times a year. My challenge is enticing him to
eat it
a
couple of times a month!!

Does he have pernicious anemia? If so, no matter how much B12 rich
foods
you feed him, he is incapable of absorbing it. A couple of pieces of
meat
of any kind per week should provide him with plenty of B12. If he
cannot
absorb B12, the only way to save his life is shots for the rest of his
life.

Save his life?? You mean it's that bad. Ok, so the shots make him absorb
the B12 and the meat/liver won't? Do the shots go right into the
bloodstream and that's the difference? I do like the idea of soaking the
liver in milk.......I've never tried that. But now I'm thinking - if he
can't absorb - why torture him with the liver. Hey..........next
thought..........why not!!
