Hey, Lil...

I just looked up the values for a pound of beef liver on the USDA database. I'd been worried about eating it, because I thought it was too high in cholesterol. But you know the thinking is that cholesterol isn't the culprit in high cholesterol in humans...it's saturated fat! I found that a pound of pan-fried liver only has 5.5g of saturated fat! I ate it in two meals, so that's not very much per meal, sis!

And then there's this...you know I have trouble with anemia...this pound of liver had 22mg of iron in it!

So I feel like I can eat it without too much guilt and besides, I love it! And it's cheap! The whole pound cost $1.88!

Yup, it's cheap. Cuz most humans don't like eating organs.

I'm glad you love it! The very idea of eating liver revolts me. At least, though my mother made us eat things like fish, she never forced organs down our throats.

I LOVE liver and onions, but I'm the ONLY one in the family who does. Once, when we were just married, SSQ's Mom and Dad came down for a visit. They took us out to eat, and I saw Liver and Onions on the menu and was thrilled! So was SSQ's Dad because he loved it too, and SSQ's Mom detested it, so she never cooked it for him. The two of us sat there in hog heaven eating our meals!

SSQ wants to know what brand of cholesterol medicine you buy. He's got genetic high cholesterol, and doesn't want to do the meds either.

I still like my liver pudding better. Liver straight up is too bitter.
