EndreWhiteMane: Liver is not improved by wrapping it in bacon as my mother said.
It just ruins the bacon. ;)

CarrionCrow: What is the deal with liver, overall? I've never seen a single person who actually enjoys it, and the only time I ever found it to be of value was by feeding it to a cat with low iron levels.
Otherwise? Totally worthless.
I agree... liver is awful (pardon the almost pun)
I've never been remotely interested in eating offal, but at least when you cook kidneys they can look kind of appetising... liver just smells and looks horrible, which combined with what it is does not make me want to eat it.

I will amend my previous statement to "Bacon improves anything that's already nice" ;)

That works. -laughs-
Or, "Bacon improves anything that doesn't taste like bloody shit to begin with."

My ex loved liver and onions. Once a month I would volunteer to leave and go eat at a restaurant so she could have it. The smell alone would drive me out. ;)

Wahoo, it is 30 degrees above zero F today. It's like summer! :-)

Okay, rule of thumb time - if something smells so vile that someone who loves you has to say, "Oh hell no, I'm going away from you if you're going to eat that"? It might not be good. -laughs-

Hmm. I would agree with you on two out of three. Have yet to see organ meat that wasn't rank and any time I've seen things like runny cheese, it just seems unpleasant.
Like mushrooms quite a bit, though.

You've found one. I really like liver. Won't eat it every day, but once in a while it's great food (together with onions, mashed potatos and Brussels sprouts).

*Yummy*

I think my dairy issue equates some of this stuff that people really love with spoilage. I also don't like greek yogurt (I eat the crappy over-processed stuff like yoplait), buttermilk, sour cream, things like that. Once tasted a cheese (at a highly reviewed restaurant) described as "barnyard." Which is exactly how it tasted. <shiver>

I can also safely throw bizarre animals and odd parts in the organ meats category. Chicken feet, escargot, venison, even caviar. I'm a 6th-generation Texan. We're not great at fancy. BBQ, Mexican, chicken fried steak!

This is why I don't get invited to many official dinners by heads of state. Could have been a buddy of LBJ, though. ;)

That's a good thing. Better someone enjoy it than have it go to waste. Just something about it that makes it thoroughly unappetizing to me.

Yeah, I mostly agree... I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, except for wild mushrooms which are delicious. I like blue cheese in certain things, but I'm not sure that counts as stinky cheese.
And as previously mentioned, organs are vile.

Hmm. Seems like my issue has more to do with texture.
I prefer blue cheese to some other items (unless it's been sitting long enough to develop that lovely odor that reminds me of someone's gym shoes when they really, REALLY need to be washed).
Not sure about differences in yogurt, the Greek type just strikes me as being especially tart compared to other kinds. Buttermilk gets used for its acidity but certainly not to drink, and sour cream is something to avoid since it goes well with so many things for me. -laughs-
Chicken feet? No. Escargot? No. Venison? Plenty of meat around without blasting a deer to get some.
As for caviar, that just strikes me as something that became a luxury item as a goof. Someone with a sense of humor (and presumably a disdain for their witless company) started saying that fish eggs were the height of sophisticated dining, and like absolute dullards their company all decided that they needed to start eating fish eggs immediately.
