| "This recipe has always been a crowd pleaser - during the holidays, or just a weekend party dish. It is simple and easily prepared the night before. It is especially a pleaser for those who are not sure they care for the taste of liver. The onion and liver combination if left overnight really blends well to bring out the good liver flavor." |
