Magick Chicks 23-03-12 A terrible cook

[Stonefoot]

Also, liver is a terrible thing to eat. It accumulates and concentrates all the pollutants that the animal's organism was unable to expel.

Wrong. The liver metabolizes toxins, it doesn't accumulate them. Spreading "plausible lies" like this one is not helpful.

I bet liver has many chemicals in it, though. Personally, I don't like any kind of liver, and spinach I can do without, but I've eaten foods that I hated even more, such as: canned creamed corn, tripe, radishes, and worst of all, beef tongue. (Just thinking about that last one sends a shiver up my spine.)

Mmmmmm, gonna fix me up a liver and bacon casserole for Sunday lunch, methinks. Gorgeous stuff.

It does both. It metabolizes toxins as fast as it can manage, and if there's more, it puts the remainder in storage until it can get to it. It may not be able to get to the leftover toxins before they do something unpleasant, though. This is why extended alcohol abuse generally results in a badly scarred liver.

Which is why older livers tend to taste pretty funky.

The liver doesn't succeed in metabolizing everything. Certain metals and plastics, such as mercury or polychlorinated biphenyl, are among the things that your liver will not get rid of.

Not a fan of Tongue?

Double post merged. The DAMNed

The only way I like tongue is if it's attached to a human . . .ok, that came out a bit weird.

[Adamas]

[Phenias] Yes, yes it did. [/Phenias]

What!?

Beef tongue is by far the best cut of beef there is!

Stick one of those bad babies in a crock pot and let it simmer, and you will have the most tasty and tender piece of beef that you will ever meet. If you take a piece of tongue and cut off all the skin and tubes off of it so it looks like any other cut of meat, you'll have something to delight any beef-eater alive. (Just don't tell them which cut it is, because some people are squeamish about eating anything that isn't a body muscle.)

Or just go to a real Mexican food place and order something with lengua in it. Fan-tastic.

When you eat tongue, do you ever wonder if it's tasting you back?

Great. Now you've got me thinking about the monster Tongue-Tongue, from the Tick animated series. o_o
