When I lived in Cincinnati they had WC there, and I tried one of their
burgers once and it tasted like Liver and never ate there again.
Krystal Burgers are similar in size and shape, but they don't have
that funky taste; they reopened a Krystal in Greenville a couple years
ago after the one they had closed down in the early 1990's. I've
eaten at Krystal numerous times and I like their food, but White
Castle I can't stomach.

I have heard of the suspicion/rumor that WC burgers are made with liver.
I hate liver. My guess is that the addition of MSG would pretty much
take care of that problem with the flavor. I'm not familiar with Krystal
but how bad could non-liver tasting burgers be?

Krystal also makes the one ounce piece of meat on a dinner roll like
the White Castles, but my main complaint with these tiny burgers is
that you have to eat about eight of them to get full and they're
mostly bun.

Oddly enough, one of those with fries and a drink would be about right
for me. Two would be tough. Three would make me ill. I've reduced the
amount of food that I eat over the last 10 years of so that my stomach
must have shrank. I think that this is common for older folks.

I can't eat anywhere near what I at 20 years ago.

I eat like a 10 year old. In a few years, I'll probably be eating
toddler food. :-)

I may have had the real ones as a child. I don't remember. But I would
know if they were liver. I freaking HATE liver!

Funny how nobody's indifferent to liver. That chalky stuff makes feel
sick just thinking about it.

My mother once gave me liver and told me it was steak which at that point in
time was a favorite food. I didn't believe her because it didn't look
right. But she insisted and told me to take a big bite of it which I did.

After that I was fearful of any food she gave me. I was very young.

My Mother used to serve horribly overcooked liver when I was a child, and
as a result I learned to hate it.

My Father also made me hate chicken, but that's another story.

Once I started cooking for myself (and after about 30 liver-free years) I
realized that liver was good if properly prepared.

It only took a dozen years to realize that chicken was also good if one
wasn't forced to eat all the fat, skin and gristle.

When I was very little, under 5, my mother would make liver for
dinner once in a while. She was from the sit-there-until-you-eat-it
school and boy, did I sit there. It doesn't get any better cold.

Not too long ago she teased me, I stopped making liver because you
made such a fuss! Hey, I wasn't malnourished, I could have skipped
the meat portion of the meal if she wanted to make that disgusting
stuff. My younger brothers never did thank me for never having to
have liver.

It certainly didn't damage me for whatever else she made, I didn't
think she was trying to kill me with every dinner.

For me it has this off taste like ... it's been used to filter
crud or something.

Good point, the liver is supposed to remove the toxin substances in our
bodies - you'd think a liver would be a kinda deadly to eat.
