From the minute I put it in my mouth I knew it would be a challenge to keep it down.”
This conjured up memories of my experiences eating this delicacy from freshly killed chickens in Japan. To start with, I certainly would not have eaten them unless I absolutely trusted the origin of the birds and the final result: In my experience the somewhat flavorless “raw chicken liver” or “raw baby beef liver” are enhanced by a few seconds (and not any longer) flip-flop on the grill, this helps to unleash amazing dimensions in flavor, although I have to admit die-hard partakers, my Japanese wife included, disagree and prefer to eat them undefiled.
