OFFICIAL POLL FOR BEST FOOD TO EAT DRUNK

[leaningright]

That's because beef liver has a lot of phenylalanine in it and those who have the genetic predispostion to taste phenylalanine it is very, very bitter. I have that genetic trait. I would assume you probably do too.

But I like it too. I did my share of damage to that platter of liver and onions. I don't indulge often though ... once or twice a year. Bad tickers run in my family.

My mom used to feed hers to the dog under the table when she was a girl.

If it's cooked slowly, it stays tender and absorbs the flavor of the onions.

I see...Gonna try that. When you say "slow cook" you mean oven?

I am like you, love the way it smells, but the texture and taste are just awful.

LOL I'm not the only one!

Hell no.
Pan fried in plenty of liquid, so it stays covered in the liquid.
That way it doesn't dry out and it is able to absorb what ever you use.
Think of it as cooking in the gravy.

It's still as dry as saw dust and taste bitter, bitter, bitter. Yuck.

What I wonder is why beef liver has such high levels of phenylalanine, making it incredibly bitter to some people, but chicken livers don't. I love deep fried chicken livers. I also love rumaki.

Maybe you don't then have that marker then or maybe you acquired a taste for the kind of bitterness.

Does that mean you can't drink diet Coke?

It doesn't have as much phenylalanine as beef liver but to answer your question, yes, it leaves a nasty bitter aftertaste in my mouth though not nearly as bad as beef liver.
