The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 17, 2024

“Those are not good for my health.”

Brutus will be on a diet until the next meal. Better if not cooked by Gladys.

Sounds like you will be having leftovers tomorrow.

Perfect reason to diet, Brutus. :p

To each his own, I have always liked liver and onions.

I never had a problem with liver and onions. Then again, I have a diminished sense of taste and smell… (long before Covid). :P :P :P

Actually, it was one of a couple of things mom could cook well.

Had it one way back when. I didn’t mind it.

Won’t eat offal, including steak & kidney pie. Blecch!

That was a favorite in our house before that pesky Colesterol appeared.

My mother made it, the stink! In my opinion

What’s not to love about liver and onions?

The one meal my mother made that I couldn’t tolerate. Also spinach. I asked her to serve spinach with the liver and onions (since I couldn’t talk her out of making them altogether) so only one meal was a wipe out, not two. I didn’t have trouble with anything else she made other than that she didn’t know how to chop an onion properly.

Liver ranks right up there with spam. Ewwwwww

Going on a diet? Really? Yeah, for how long?

My mother could be cruel, but she was never that cruel.

I just lost my appetite reading this, so I’ll join you Brutus!

motivation!

Good idea Brutus .

Liver is the one thing that I have found that triggers a gag reflex in me. It can’t make it past my tongue. And I’ll try just about anything once.

ugh.

Now that I’m all grown up, I like liver and onions. However, my gout diet forbids it.

I really like liver (beef or chicken either one) and onions, but I would be reluctant to sample Gladys’ cooking.

Hang about Brutus. I love fried Beef Liver/with gravy, onions and rice. Not boiled liver in rice as some folks mutilate food. And if any leftover, I make myself a late liver sandwich with mayo. Raised on a farm. Ate it all. Hunted and fished. When you grow up in need – food is good. My late wife was blessed with same skills. Raise it and eat it.

He’s also taking up running out of the house

especially when I show up to eat what’s not gone. :g

um, I mean… only if he has to eat it. un other than that he doesn’t have a problem with it. :}

I want to try to cook liver like my mother made, but I can’t find liver in the grocery stores…

Easy Brutus….easy!

I love liver and onions, with a couple of slices of bacon and mashed potatoes.

Liver and Onions sounds good to me.

Is Gladys mad at Brutus ?

“Urk”! Hilarious! Liver and onions prepared by Gladys – that’s about the perfect diet storm.

Guess what Kewpie will be eating tonight.

Personally, that has always been a favourite of mine … calve’s liver, of course.

I’ll skip the Liver and Onions but love Braunschweiger – go figure.

Brutus discussed a diet plan with his doctor, and the doctor didn’t put liver and onions on the plan.

I’ll settle for a burger with onions.

He’ll urk up an appetite later.

I’ve always loved liver (both beef and chicken) with onions but have it only very rarely since it’s not exactly the healthiest thing in the world (contrary to what my mother and grandmother might have naively once believed).

Actually, Kewpie just might enjoy that dinner himself……

The Far Side – Liver and Onions truck. Liver and onions are good to detox your body, good thing I don’t need to detox my body. Where’s the ice cream truck?

To this day, the smell of liver cooking makes me want to vomit. Very few things I have experienced in life have a vomit-inducing smell and that is one of them.

Then when you think about what the liver does in the body, it’s worse for me. I don’t want to eat a body filter. Nasty.

In my experience liver and onions is one of those dishes where someone either knows how to prepare it or they don’t. Too many people end up with liver that tastes, and chews, like shoe leather. Thankfully there are those (like the cook at a local bar I eat at every two or three months) who can make it flavorful and tender. I loved it when my grandma made it (them?), they were wonderful, but somehow my mother never had the knack. Hers was so-so.

UGH. NO.

One time, and that was enough for me.

maybe gladys’ll make beets for a side dish… ☺

Liver and Onions are much better if you add Bacon!
