We had liver almost once a week. Mom would only buy calf liver. Never pork. It was her health food way of providing iron to "keep our blood built up". I think she and dad just liked it was the real reason.

Floured and fried, then simmered for an hour or two in brown gravy with onions. Served with rice or mashed potatoes.

My funny story. I loved liver as a kid; it was literally my favorite thing to eat. I was 4-5 going to nursery school, and the lady who ran the school decided to cook liver for everyone as a favor for me. In doing so she told all the kids it was pork or something of the sort.

The moment I sat down to eat I noticed what it was and shouted out "Liver, my favorite! Thank you Ms Jerry!"

She had to make a bunch of grilled cheese after that and sent me home with a ton of leftovers.
