I never eat it out anywhere because it is way too easy to mess it up and over cook it. Here's what my mother would do (and I know this completely defeats any health benefits of eating raw foods): First, she would fry up some bacon, then should would cook the liver in the bacon grease. When the liver was done she would add a mixture of milk and flour to the pan to make a cream gravy. She would serve all of that, the bacon, liver and gravy with rice. Yumm! My understanding, though, is that liver is not all that good for you because organ meats tend to be really high in cholesterol.
