Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 [Chris] Right now I'm juicing garlic, and this is working very well for me. I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't think I would find anything with raw garlic on it palatable, so I wouldn't bother ruining an entire dish. I'm sure that others DO like raw garlic on their food, but it's not for me. [MikeP] Strange, your choices of prepositions there. Why not put raw garlic _in_ your food instead of _on_ it? In other words, I recommend blending some minced raw garlic in complex salads or soups where the flavor will only come through faintly and surely be acceptable to you. Same goes for raw liver, by the way. Given the vast amounts of discussion on making raw liver palatable this group has seen in the past, it's strange so few people don't just mince up some raw liver and toss it with a big salad of greens, other veggies, fruits, herbs, etc. I once served a salad like this to a (non-vegetarian) friend and didn't mention there was any raw liver in it. It never even came up and she liked it, except she wasn't happy when she mentioned something (positive, I think) about " the mushrooms " and I said " Those aren't mushrooms; they're snails " . I don't mind eating plain raw liver or raw garlic myself, but I still often use this method anyway. Mike SE Pennsylvania Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk.

[MikeP] According to the USDA data, beef liver is in the neighborhood of 25% fat by calories, which is neither especially fatty nor especially lean. The texture of liver is somewhat fatty I suppose.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. Some people do advocate low-fat diets which dip below 30% of calories from fat, but I wouldn't call 25% fat by calories (meaning a lot less than that by weight) " fatty " . >The texture of liver is somewhat fatty I suppose. Huh. I eat a couple pounds raw every week, and to me, it's anything but. Maybe also a matter of taste, but I'd call tongue a fatty meat, not liver. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
