One of my favorite deli treats is a scoop of chopped liver with saltines, red onion and a dollop of mayonnaise. Perhaps this is what M2M means by fried liver mush or a variation of same? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with red onion, sometimes the surface has to be thin layer of butter, and chopped egg yolks and egg whites like with Smoked Onions. Dad use to use Well Sauteed Fried Vidalia Onions topping.

YES…MAYO!! It goes great with the chopped liver. Swiss Cheese goes great with brisket or corned beef. We Goys don’t have to keep kosher…lol.

I never thought of Chicken Livers as anything but a Southern food. Interesting. Liver mush is pork liver plus cornmeal (Neese's is the best brand), pressed into a rectangle, sold in the lunch meat area. Slice it and fry it; you want the outside to be crispy and the inside to be soft and warm. Make it into a sandwich with mustard. Wow, have I posted that much? I'm on a roll. We've been out of the cruising world for a while, but now our kids are through college, we have a vaxx against Covid, and we're ready to get back out to sea -- we're pretty excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat it at home for ease of prep, decent taste (crunchy only!) and ease of protein. Another is orange marmalade. I only like English brands, with bitter oranges, not sweet ones like Smuckers. But I've never seen good ones on a ship. How about you? I eat peanut butter without sodium once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken livers are good no matter how they are prepared. My favorite way to eat them is cold as a snack. Kroger's Deli sometimes have them, but, most of the time they don't. So, when I can obtain them, they are a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not use Chicken. Beef is a deeper flavor then chicken. Even though prepared the same way. Must be "Cold".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roatanfans Posted September 16, 2022 #44 Share Posted September 16, 2022 On Princess at breakfast in the buffet, once in a while you can find biscuits and chocolate gravy. The Princess chocolate gravy is more like Hershey syrup out of a can, not at all like the chocolate gravy I grew up eating. For those of you who have never heard of such a thing it's a regional thing Oklahoma, Arkansas area?) Kind if like fried pies. It is not meat based but more like a thick chocolate custard you eat over biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were discussing chopped liver. BB said that he prefers beef liver…so I tried it. I always keep a cryovac pack in the freezer. Fried calves liver and onions are necessary from time to time….even better with spaghetti and meat sauce! At any rate I found the chopped beef liver to be too strong and I mixed it with chopped egg and mayo to quell the taste. I’ll stick with chicken livers in the future.

I personally make my liver from chicken liver sauteed in butter. Jewish delis use chicken fat. With sauteed white onions. Then when hand grate it with quartered boiled eggs. S&P to taste. The local Jewish delis can not use chicken due to parents. So they used beef. Never would think mayo at all. This a deli with real Jewish rye and raw onion which made the beef chopped livers favorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he sails until 9/23. Fried calves liver and onions! (Maybe even with some bacon.) My Mother and I loved it; my Father and Brother hated it. When this was on my family's dinner menu--which was not often--it was a dinner with two different entrees my Mother fixed. Cruise ship chefs' usually do a good job with it. I will usually order it when it's on the menu while my tablemates say "how can you eat that stuff?". (I like most organ meats: sweetbreads, heart; tongue, not so much.) I like Chopped Liver whether it is Chicken or Beef. I think fried Chicken Livers--hot or cold--are delicious. I actually like them cold and eat them as a "HH" snack. When I can get them.
