Ever enjoy eating something, until you wonder why it's even a food?
Beef liver (and I assume Chicken liver too) has the following functions (amongst others):
-metabolizes toxins
-produces urea (urine)
-contains ammonia
-produces bile.
So why is a toxin/ammonia/urine/bile -filled organ even edible, and why wouldn't it have a bad taste?
My theory is that cows and chickens don't consume many toxins, because their diet is so restricted.
But that doesn't explain the other 3 icky things.
