What's for dinner?

Is that old school ?

Parents today do not force their children to eat, it would be considered child abuse.

I've never forced mine to eat. I gave them a choice - eat what I fix or nothing.

Same here. I told my kids, I was not a short-order cook.

Then I'm abusive........

If I go to the trouble to cook the kid's damn well going to eat.

I survived a childhood of once-a-month liver without any devastating effects. But, then again I have never done past life regressive therapy or screamed into pillows.

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.

I can't deal with fat either. gut roils and I want to vomit the instant fat touches my lips.

My parents tried this with liver. Once. Technicolor projectile vomit all over the dining room table and they never forced me to eat anything again.

Damn. Had the gag reflex with liver but didn't think to let it go its natural course.

Forcing doesn't work. I had skin issues since I was a teenager and then when I started eating liver as an adult they immediately went away. I've been eating it weekly from that moment.

I make up for your aversion, my beef must be well marbled, preferably with corn-fed fat, the nice yellow stuff..

Mmmmmmm!

Plenty of bacon -- beef bacon cooked hard enough that all the fat renders off.

LOL I didn't do it on purpose. And I love veggies including brussels sprouts, asparagus, etc...

You can have every gram of fat that I cut off of my steaks.

Fat is flavor. I hope you at least trim it after you prepare it.

You know what makes boston butt so delicious? Fat. Without fat pulled pork would suck. It has to be cooked low and slow so that the fat is rendered. But without that fat a smoked butt would be a terrible chunk of dry pork. But, I agree. I don't wanna chew on some hunk of fat.

I don't eat pork either. The idea of pig fat has me retching at the mere idea.

Yes, fpr several reasons. For one it's easier to separate the fat from the meat after it has been rendered.

Sorry for going all Michelle Obama here, but the quality of pork fat has been going down. It's what they eat, so it's similar to the composition of vegetable oils. Though the quality can be improved by frying bacon in coconut oil.
