I made some the other night..which is basically half melted ice cream in the blender.
The only kind of ice cream I had in the freezer was chocolate chip cookie dough flavor. I didn't want to go to the grocery store tonight, so the drive up was my quickest fix for my vanilla shake craving and then "no straws". Whoever heard of a McDonald's running out of straws--sheesh.

The liver is a filter for biological waste and toxins.

That's been part of my reasoning in my offense toward liver, but I read conflicting information all the time. I guess it depends a lot on how the animal was raised.
Yeah , pretty much , eating my liver may not be wise
, eating the livers from my livestock , OK. LOL.Guess what--liver is good for you!

Beef livers provide us nutrient-rich storage depots. When sourced from healthy, grass fed cows, liver is absolutely loaded with a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, proteins and fat. It is particularly rich in the key nutrients that help keep our brains healthy. These include the essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docasahexaenoic acid), and AA (arachidonic acid), as well as vitamin B12.

I bet my liver's delicious. It's been marinating in red wine for years.

I soak it in milk like 90 minutes. But people do different amounts.
As for the color, it's hard to say, you look at it and get the right impression, once you've been buying it for a while. I think bright colors are good. Black or red, both could be good.
If you buy the liver frozen, that often means it was frozen immediately after extraction, which is a good thing. It should be cooked as soon as it thaws.
That's not really how it works. There are studies comparing the amount of toxins in livers and other parts and it's the same.
The way the liver gets rid of many toxins, and amy will obviously understand this, is that it modifies the toxin chemically to make it water soluble so that the kidney can excrete it. So, that type of toxin is really present in most tissues, which get it from the blood, except they're not in a water soluble form, ready to be excreted by the kidneys.
There are certain types of toxins that can actually be stored in the liver, for example, Teflon toxins. But if the cow wasn't exposed to things cooked in Teflon, I don't know how it would have it.
Teflon toxins however are also stored in the blood, so I expect other parts of the animal to have it as well, but don't know which part would have more.
You know what part of the animal actually stores toxins? Adipose tissue. Yet people eat fatty cuts like ribs without a problem, and they might be higher in toxins than liver. So for anyone who is cool eating beef fat, I don't think he has a reason to fear beef liver.

Exactly! My father being from the old school would ask my mother to cook liver once a month when I was a kid. Also being from old school if you didn't eat your food you went to bed hungry. She knew how much I hated it and tried to trick me by breading it and telling me it was a chicken cutlet. While she was cooking it, I knew it was chicken cutlet. The minute I put it in my mouth I knew it wasn't chicken cutlet. Off to bed I went.

Lol. We grew up in the same household. Only I had to eat it. We didn't get up from the table until we did. I'd cut it small until I could just swallow it with a drink of milk without chewing it. The ole lady and the pitty-bull love livermush. Can't stand it.
