Shambles, I fancy some calve's liver tonight, I think I'll nip into the butchers.
How do you reckon I should have it? I reckon I could have it with some sortayed onions, peas and pasta with a little bit of mayo mooshed around with the pasta/peas/onion and some garlic-salt.

And with the liver, dust it in flower, salt and peper, then really really hot pan with a dash of butter melted, about a minute on each side.
I'll cut out all the sinu

Slug of brandy in the pan.

Oh my dayz, what a fabulous idea, I can get one of those lilttle double-shot bottles of brandy and I've got cream so I can do a creamy sauce.
That's what I want now.

I wouldn't bother with dusting it with flowers. Or even flour.
Just make sure it's very dry.

I find it works well because then you get more gunk in the pan to flavour the cream.

I'd swap the pasta for mashed potatoes.

Get the butcher to cut it for you.
And lightly dust it with seasoned flour after you have rinsed and patted dry. Fry in butter, slug brandy and add whole sage leaves.

Eat with mash and french beans.

Not a fan of sage, to tell you the truth, hope you don't mind.

Fresh sage leaves are a joy, gonz.
The dried stuff is rank. Plant yourself a sage bush. Chicks dig it.

I just find Sage with the irony taste of liver doesn't work well together.
I wish I did, I truely do, but I don't.

I like it when you put a sage leaf on cheese on toast and put it on top of a bowl of french onion soup.

Our sage plant has gone beserk in the garden.
Very handy to have though.

Totally not correcting that typo.

It fills up a nice big space in the corner
So I'm a bit reluctant to cut it right back. Same can be said of the thyme. And the rosemary.

Fair enough Gonz.
However you do it, be careful not to overcook.

As Monty says below.

A minute and a half _at most_ on both sides.
As soon as a crust is formed, it's done on that side.

I can cut my own mashed potatoes - I don't need no faggot butcher to help me.

Touch the mayo and I will rip out your spleen.
Onions or shallots is heading in the right direction. Reduce some wine with them and slosh in some double cream and you're giving me an erection. And don't overcook the liver. It needs to still have an ooze of red and a good wobble when it comes out of the pan.

Overcooked liver = like eating a 1930s football boot

1970s school dinnerladies were the death of liver.

Quite so.
Bad memories.

Until you have been to Transylvania you have no idea what bad food is.

I worked alongside possibly the most clueless chef in the world.
I think I may have a vague idea.

'Perhaps some phlegmy gruel?'
'Or would sir prefer the national dish of dishwater with a homeopathic quantity of tomato and some unidentifiable root vegetables bobbing in it?'

I never had liver in school, but I know so many people who reffuse to try it because of that, and it makes me Sad Face, because it's so nice.
There is a turkish dish which is bascly battered'n'deep-fried chicken livers with an onion and corianda salad, it's soo lush.

I like it when you bite into it and you get a slight crusty crunch but the inside is pink and soft.
Instead of the mayo, I'll do what I said up there with the cream/brandy/onions, I'll leave the peas.
