  1. Now I love liver, but I suppose I understand that it doesn't
    appeal to everyone! Anyway, my husband's B12 is so low it
    doesn't even read on the chart and liver is apparantly one
    of the best sources of B12 around - I mean apart from shots.
    So off I go to the store and get some calf's liver. To make
    a long story short, it's now in the freezer.

    I should add that he's also got shingles, and I think he
    thought I was trying to finish him off!! My question
    though, does anyone have a favourite liver recipe that
    cuts down on the strong flavour. I've always cooked it up
    with onions - which is fine with me. But perhaps if I try
    to disguise it somewhat with a cream sauce or something
    (?), maybe it would be more agreeable. Should add, it
    doesn't make him gag or anything, he said he could eat it
    a 'few' times a year. My challenge is enticing him to eat
    it a couple of times a month!!

    I don't have too many liver recipes and like you, liver and
    onions is fine with me. With a nice onion gravy. I
    'marinate' the liver in milk an hour or so before cooking
    it. This seems to take away some of the strong flavor. I
    don't know why I do this, I just do.

    I count myself among those who is not a fan of liver. It
    won't kill me to eat it, but I have not learned to
    appreciate the texture. I like liver pates, and one of my
    favourite treats is liver pate on crackers with a Manhattan.
    I have had cooked liver on exactly two occasions where I
    actually enjoyed it, and both times it was cooked/served in
    a gravy type sauce. Good enough for seconds.

    What taking a pill is too easy? B12 can be taken as a
    vitamin supplement pill. If the guy doesn't like liver and
    he has shingles it sounds like a multi vitamin pill is more
    likely what he needs. That would bump up all his vitamin and
    mineral needs at one time....

    Does he have pernicious anemia? If so, no matter how much
    B12 rich foods you feed him, he is incapable of absorbing
    it. A couple of pieces of meat of any kind per week should
    provide him with plenty of B12. If he cannot absorb B12, the
    only way to save his life is shots for the rest of his life.

    Why don't you just buy some B12 capsule supplements instead
    of torturing him? Dessicated liver tablets are also
    available...

    Personally, I like liver with scallions and serve it still
    pink in the
    middle. I just HATE well done liver, but I can only eat it a
    few times per year.

    My anemia went away (totally) when I discovered GOOD vitamin
    supplements other than those [censored] pills like Centrum etc.
    that are sold in the grocery store. ;-P My hemoglobin level
    went from 12 to 15 in just a couple of years! (Hematocrit
    went from 34% to 45% and is holding steady).

    BTW, good ol' fashioned beef steak is nearly as high in B-12
    and other useful vitamins and minerals as liver! And much
    easier to eat. <G>

    Just don't cook it to death! Well done meat is useless
    nutritionally IMHO!

    Just feed him rare steak FCOL!

    Save his life?? You mean it's that bad. Ok, so the shots
    make him absorb the B12 and the meat/liver won't? Do the
    shots go right into the bloodstream and that's the
    difference? I do like the idea of soaking the liver in
    milk.......I've never tried that. But now I'm thinking -
    if he can't absorb - why torture him with the liver.
    Hey..........next thought..........why not!! Elaine

    Hear, hear! If your husband truly has undetecable, or almost
    undetectable serum B12 levels, we must assume he has
    pernicious anemia. Before the discovery that one shot of B12
    each month would control the disease it was uniformly fatal.
    Now, with simple treatment, it is almost in the class of
    nuisances. In this condition it is impossible to force
    adequate B12 into the patient by the oral route, because he
    is missing a chemical in the stomach called intrinsic
    factor, which facilitates B12 absorbtion. People with this
    condition also have a high incidence of stomach cancer.
    Let's hope that your description of your husband's B12 serum
    level is hyperbole, or that he is being treated with
    intramuscular B12. Larry

    I like fried chicken livers dipped in cream gravy -- about
    once or twice a year because it is so rich. But maybe you
    could serve a chicken liver pasta.

    Aren't clams an even better source of B12 than liver?

    I suspect other bloody organ meats, like beef heart, would
    be good sources of B12.

    My parents have a VitaMix machine [think heavy duty kitchen
    blender with a 1 horsepower motor] that they bought years
    ago, and the little book that came with it had recipes for
    stuff like Strawberry and Liver Smoothies (made with raw
    liver.) I couldn't find that booklet last time I was home; I
    wanted to post some of the recipes :-)

    the B12 and the meat/liver won't? Do the shots go right
    into the bloodstream and that's the difference? I do like
    the idea of soaking the liver in milk.......I've never
    tried that. But now I'm thinking - if he can't absorb -
    why torture him with the liver. Hey..........next
    thought..........why not!! Elaine


    If he has pernicious anemia, the cells lining the stomach
    wall are no longer able to absorb B12 at all. The shots
    deliver the B12 to the blood directly and then to the
    liver where some of the B12 is stored/used for a month.
    Most of the B12 is cast off in the urine almost
    immediately. Shots are required monthly. Without the B12,
    the red blood cells become deformed and can no longer do
    their job. If he has seen a doctor and the doctor has not
    indicated pernicious anemia, I would follow whatever diet
    directions the doctor gave. However, as other posters have
    indicated any organ meat is rich in B12--actually
    meat/fish in general is a good source. You should probably
    check the Internet for B12 deficiency. The same source
    would also give B12 rich foods. Janet

    The only time I've been able to eat liver, it had been
    marinated in red wine, garlic and onions and was grilled
    over some kind of aromatic wood.

  17. You have a lot of good suggestions here for liver and B-12
    absorbtion. One unmentioned liver marinade is to marinate it
    in orange juice, then bread and saute to medium. This is a
    Mexican liver recipe, that removes the liver aroma. My wife
    only likes liver this way. I love it any way except
    overcooked.

  18. Elaine, do you cook bacon with the liver? Just fry the bacon
    until crisp, remove from the pan and set aside. Cook the
    liver, coated in seasoned flour, and the onions in the bacon
    drippings. Serve with the bacon on the side. Don't cook too
    long. Liver is best when just barely pink.

  19. Liver is not a "dainty" dish and so cannot be done
    correctly by exact recipe. Rather you sort of wing it for
    best results.

    Basicly, get more liver, bacon and onions than you need.
    Then throw plenty of bacon in a heavy skillet and fry till
    crisp. While that's going on, cut up lots of onion and also
    shake the liver in a shopping bag with flour, a little salt
    but lots of pepper. Take the bacon out and reserve on paper
    towel. Keep the hot fat in the pan. Toss the onions in the
    hot bacon fat. When limp reserve the onions with the bacon
    still keeping and fat in the pan.. Then fry the liver. Cook
    it till done, but try not to over cook. It should still be
    between "limp" and "floppy" when you pick it up, not hard.
    Most people don't like it pink inside .. but stay as close
    to pink as you can get away with.

    In all it's artery clogging glory, it's really a great dish!

    Afterward, chop up the leftovers rather fine for great Deli
    sanwitches. YUM! YUM!

    There is always Liver Dumpling Soup. Mother's
    instructions follow:

    Grind together: 1 pound beef liver 2 carrots 1 onion 1 stalk
    celery 1 dry roll(Kaiser roll or similar size) add one egg,
    season to taste. Add enough flour to make a dumpling and one
    teaspoon baking powder. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling beef
    broth. Cook 5 minutes. Beat an egg and drizzle into broth in
    the last minute of cooking. Toast bread and cut into one
    inch squares, serve toast on individual servings of soup.

    (This requires about 4-5 quarts of homemade beef
    broth.) Janet
