Surprisingly, one of the best places around here to get fried chicken livers
is at the Walmart deli. But they've got to be fresh out of the fryer or they
become something that can be used in the game of golf.

Chicken livers are supposed to be broiled.

Chicken livers are like many other cuts of meat; they can be prepared in a
variety of ways. I've seen them braised in a gravy and served over rice
but Walmart serves them lightly battered and deep fried. I don't know if
they still offer them or not, but KFC used to also served deep fried livers.

For chopped liver they are best broiled.

My mother used to flour them and fry them in butter. It smelled good
cooking, but I just couldn't get past the texture. She didn't mind.
More for her!

That's my problem with liver. I don't dislike the flavour. I often have
liverwurst or liver pate. It's the texture of liver that turns me off.
It's like chewing soft suede. My wife often has it in restaurants and if
she thinks it is exceptionally good she will give me some to try, and it
is always a disappointment. I have had it cooked and served with gravy
in two different situations, and both times it was delicious.

Liver cooked with bacon used to be a staple in truck-drivers' cafés in
the UK. We also used to be served it at school.

I fixed liver, bacon and onions a lot. It used to be that you could
go to your supermarket butcher and tell him how thick you wanted the
liver cut. That way you could do a nice thick slice out on the grill.
Now all I can get is pre-packaged, frozen liver sliced almost paper
thin. I can't see what I'm getting when it is frozen in a cup, but
generally it is a piece full of membranes. I don't know how people
can cook and eat those really thin slices. Same way with chicken
livers, all frozen in a cup and you can't see what you are getting. I
haven't had liver in a long time.

Yep, same stuff served at thousands of jewish delis.

Popeye will confirm if he is honest.

I think of it as biting down on compressed fine mud. Now, I haven't
eaten mud since the big kids stuffed it in my mouth when I was a little
boy. But that's why I know. Didn't that happen to every little boy?
I *do* like Benihana style chicken livers flipped at you and dipped in
whatever sauce they serve, and I like chicken liver pté. I had to do a
copy-paste to get the pate right.
