My doctor told me to cut down on my vitamin consumption. Taking certain vitamins in pill form can raise liver enzyme levels, which is unpreferrable health-wise.
I didn’t think about my liver and the effects that even “healthy” pills have on it.
Do you think of your liver every time you consume something? Especially in pill form?
Thank you ☺
July 14, 2017 9:25 am at 9:25 am #1317694☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI usually think about it Thursday night, when I’m shopping for Shabbos, then Shabbos morning, as I’m eating it.
July 14, 2017 9:31 am at 9:31 am #1317698LightbriteParticipantSeriously? Wait, are you talking about eating liver? 🙂
July 14, 2017 9:31 am at 9:31 am #1317699MenoParticipantI was thinking about it last night while I was sauteing it.
July 14, 2017 9:31 am at 9:31 am #1317700LightbriteParticipantOoops you literally said that.
From first read I was thinking about you eating what you were buying for Shabbos, which I imagined being Shabbos food something, and then yes… clever! ☺
July 14, 2017 9:36 am at 9:36 am #1317708☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI was thinking about it last night while I was sauteing it.
What proportion of liver to onion do you use?
July 14, 2017 9:36 am at 9:36 am #1317710☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSeriously? Wait, are you talking about eating liver? 🙂
Of course. Weren’t you?
July 14, 2017 9:41 am at 9:41 am #1317717Yserbius123ParticipantNot often. I’m not a big drinker and I try to keep my Tylonel/Advil/Aspirin consumption to a minimum.
July 14, 2017 10:00 am at 10:00 am #1317724MenoParticipantWhat proportion of liver to onion do you use?
Depends on the size of the onions. I buy bags and they come in random sizes. I usually try to get around 1:1
July 14, 2017 10:30 am at 10:30 am #1317748☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI buy bags and they come in random sizes.
I usually buy the 3 lb. bags.
July 14, 2017 10:30 am at 10:30 am #1317749☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDo you add black pepper, or any other spices?
July 14, 2017 10:35 am at 10:35 am #1317756Ex-CTLawyerParticipantDY………………
Saute 1lb finely diced onions for mixing with 1lb chicken liver and 1/2 pound calves liver
Use approx 1/2 cup oil/schmaltz to saute,
Then this all goes through the meat grinder along with 5 hard baoiled eggs and 1 stale bagel
Mix together adding white pepper and garlic and 2 tablespoons mayo
Let chill overnight, then either pour off excess oil, or mix in a little more mayo if neededJuly 14, 2017 10:59 am at 10:59 am #1317764☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSounds like yummy chopped liver. I like the pieces, though.
Can you please share your recipe for stale bagels? 😉
July 14, 2017 12:00 pm at 12:00 pm #1317774kitovParticipantVitamin A in large amounts can be toxic to the liver.
Vitamin A Is added to skim milk.
So drinking to much skim milk isn’t healthyJuly 14, 2017 12:19 pm at 12:19 pm #1317784yehudayonaParticipantkitov, the reason it’s added to skim milk is because it’s removed from whole milk when they remove the fat. Eating or drinking too much of anything (including water) is unhealthy. But this is a fleishig thread, so we shouldn’t be talking about milk.
July 16, 2017 2:44 pm at 2:44 pm #1318279☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantJuly 16, 2017 5:04 pm at 5:04 pm #1318312golferParticipantHe’s great!
I’d let him make Shabbos at my house anytime!July 16, 2017 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #1318319Ex-CTLawyerParticipantDY…………….
if you like pieces, then use a hochmesser (mezzluna) in a wooden bowl to chop the liver instead of a meat grinder.
I don’t use an electric grinder, but the old fashioned hand crank grinder that screws onto a counter-top.
We buy fresh bagels Sunday Morning. Any left uneaten on Tuesday are put in a bag in the freezer to be used for chopped liver or poultry stuffing.July 16, 2017 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #1318320Ex-CTLawyerParticipantDY…
The video still shows the chef using a potato masher in a bowl. I assume he is using it on the hard boiled eggs, not the liver.
I’ve not watched the video, sad to admit I’ve been making chopped liver far longer than he is alive.July 16, 2017 5:22 pm at 5:22 pm #1318316golferParticipantLightbrite I’m sorry if you feel your thread was derailed.
A lot of people don’t realize that vitamins and supplements have side effects and taking them in large amounts can be harmful.
Just because the label says it’s a vitamin doesn’t mean you don’t have to be very careful what you’re putting into your body.July 16, 2017 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm #1318339DovidBTParticipant“use a hochmesser (mezzluna) in a wooden bowl”
Thanks for the tip!
I’ve been using a mezzaluna on a flat cutting board, but couldn’t figure out out to keep the chopped pieces from flying away.
July 16, 2017 7:06 pm at 7:06 pm #1318349Ex-CTLawyerParticipantVitamins and supplements do NOT require supervision by the USFDA. Many are of dubious value and others can cause harm
July 16, 2017 7:38 pm at 7:38 pm #1318351MenoParticipantCTL,
This is either a vitamins thread or a chopped liver thread. You have to pick a side. You can’t play for both teams.
July 16, 2017 7:42 pm at 7:42 pm #1318362☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOr sauteed.
July 16, 2017 7:42 pm at 7:42 pm #1318363☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI’ve not watched the video
That’s okay, I haven’t either. I just thought it was cool that we’ve made liver such a hot topic that the news site did a feature on it.
July 16, 2017 8:09 pm at 8:09 pm #1318373Ex-CTLawyerParticipantMeno………….
since when do you get to make the rules? To further confuse you:
the liver is a is a storage organ for many important nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and folic acid, and minerals such as copper and iron)
So chopped liver can be a good source of vitamin supply.In fact, organ meats in general have much more vitamins and nutrients than muscle meat (steaks, chops, roast, etc.) This is great because I love, Liver, tongue, sweetbreads, brains. Can’t get lung anymore as we could in my youth.
July 16, 2017 8:18 pm at 8:18 pm #1318376☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantעד מתי אתם פוסחים על שתי הסעיפים
July 17, 2017 1:43 am at 1:43 am #1318432WinnieThePoohParticipantOk, here’s the bottom line: don’t eat chopped liver from cows or chickens that are fed megadosages of vitamins. It can damage your liver.
