It was the early 1980's and in my twenty's when at my parents house for dinner my mother made some liver just for herself the rest of us got real food, on a bet my father said he would eat a piece of liver if I did - he took a bite - the face he made is now impinged in my memory as nothing less than horrifying, as a coward I rebuked and to this day will never get his taste face out of my minds eye.Ldychef2k said:I gotta jump in about liver. The liver's purpose for being is to filter poisons. Why would ANYONE want to eat that? Sorry...just had to say it.
As you suggest, the first thing to do is be hungry. That is the best seasoning for any food.xpc said:So now I ask what do you do with beans to make them palatable? how do you present them? mix with? etc. I guess I would learn to eat them like skittles when hungry enough but do I really need a dried june bug scab stored for ten years?
As it is now I only shop maybe 6 times a year and during the infamous ice storm of 2009 fared better than most because I always have a few months of food handy but no beans.
Thanks for any enlightenment
