The spanish do a superb tapas with liver slivers, encrusted with a spicy herby mix and fried 'til crisp, perfect for a get-together. :grin:

Or you could do what one of my sisters did when pregnant and eat it raw

Oh God - that sounds awful (eating it raw I mean) - and I've just eaten my porridge.

Spent Easter in Cyprus last year with rellies. They fast for a month before, they do eat, just don't eat meat. We went to midnight mass on the Saturday before Easter Sunday and got back about 1.30 in the morning to the delights of a liver soup with cabbage. Was I glad to tuck into cheese and biscuits.

Just liver? Usually the Easter soup (Mayiritsa) is made from all sorts of offal. I remember one Easter we spent in Greece taking coffee with the elderly female proprietor of a local cafÃƒÂ©. She was shaving pigs trotters for the soup with a safety razor blade. I have no Greek but made her cackle hysterically with a dumb show of me being worried that she might turn her attentions to my beard. :grin:

They all went out one night to a church in the next village and I stayed behind. Uncle Vangelis, who is 85 and used to be the local butcher said they had left me a meal in the oven. Just light the oven and warm it through, he said, so I did. Smelled really good and I was looking forward to me evening meal, until I opened the oven. A whole sheeps head....... More cheese and biscuits.

I was confronted with a whole sheeps head in my early teens when on a school exchange to France. The family I was staying with considered it a great compliment to have such a special dish made for me and were horrified when I refused to eat any of it. No problems nowadays although I prefer it dished up as brawn rather than attempting to dismantle the thing at table. Mother did a fine Boars Head (apple in the mouth and all) one New Year, there's a picture knocking about somewhere, I'll try and dig it out.
