I bought over two pounds of liver, but when I started cutting up in bite sized parts/slices I noticed it's very mushy and not firm or jelly like previous times I've had prepared liver. Is it normal?

Just smells like blood.

Eh its fine right? Maybe some chunks of the liver tend to be soft.

hello frogposter, why is my beef liver so fucking soft and mushy and white-ish?

>> No.18306470

>>18306465
let's just say i wouldn't eat that shit unless the camera drastically changed its color
take a pic of it in natural light so we can tell for sure. this looks like you used a flash in a dark basement

I've never bought beef liver that was this soft and breakable. Did the butcher gave me maybe baby beef liver? Could that explain it?

Veal liver isn't that different from beef liver. It's way milder though.
I wouldn't eat the liver in your pics as those look pretty bad.

idk i've seen parts of liver that were this soft before, mostly due to it being tissue on the periphery of the actual liver. but the color definitely seems weird

1.1kg in the freezer. If its fucked I'll just grind and make beef balls. If they accidently gave me calf liver they sold it to me with adult beef liver price. Which is usually 15% more expensive in my country.

Was it frozen? Liver isn’t fibrous like muscle tissue, when you freeze it can turn mushy.

you're not supposed to freeze liver? damn i never knew that. i mean, i've never frozen liver before but i've seen liver at the frozen aisle at the supermarket. i suppose it's okay if it's flash frozen?

>> No.18306680

>>18306641
it can be ok depending how you freeze it. if you dry it off and wrap it tightly it will be ok if it was good liver to begin with. if there's a lot of water the ice crystallisation can damage the meat. what did it look like before freezing?

>> No.18306720

>>18306641
IINM/IIRC, you have to salt the liver first then pat it dry when you freeze it. At least that's what me ol' mam did when she'd prepare a freshly slaughtered and butchered hog, lamb or goat for freezing.
After seeing >>18306680, I would guess she did it to extract as much liquid out of it before freezing.

I always thought I didn't like cooked-from-thawed liver cuz that's mostly what my mother prepared but it turns out I just don't like liver, even fresh. Well, pork liver's okay and birds and fish tend to have tasty livers, but fuck lamb, veal, beef, kid and goat livers. Fuck them all.
