Eating liver

There is a reason why predatory animals and hunter/gatherer humans always dive into the organs (especially the liver) of a fresh kill first. I don't happen to like liver although I have not eaten it often enough for my palate to "learn" the value. But I like liverwurst very much. I buy Boars Head liverwurst at Sprouts regularly. It would be better if I made my own from grass fed liver, but I have yet to make the time. However, the new GF claims to know how to do it, so I may get the benefit of that.
 
If you partake of liver, discriminating gourmands recommend that it be accompanied with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Rabbits have huge livers and boy do they taste delicious! I never knew I liked liver until I tried Rabbit liver. I love it!
 
I lament the disappearance of sweetbreads from grocery stores....
 
To boost up your iron, other viable options include: clams, mussels, oysters; various families of nuts; squashes; and beans. Although too much iron consumption could result in senility.
