@Catogrande Generations of kiwi's have an antipathy for liver because of the ubiquitous lambs fry and bacon. Hunks of liver cooked until its a dry, grey unappetising bullet which is then smothered in gravy to try and add some moisture (impossible. All said gravy achieves is to kill the flavour of the bacon.
Calves liver is quite difficult to source here but I do like it fried quickly with lots of onions and cider on tagliatelle.
Fava beans and chianti for me, but each to their own.
A little known medical point from Silence of the lambs - monamine oxidase or sucklike(MOI) was an early depression inhibiter that Lector could have been treated with, and three things that you can't have with it - liver, beans and wine. It came up in conversation with someone else that liked the movie when I was discussing my status as a serial killer on here and I stored it away. He wasn't taking his meds I think was the point.

@MajorRage wait what...where the hell is that? Cheapest I've seen is about £8 a kilo. Weather aspect wasn't too bad, as I did the chicken on the BBQ and we only have a small house with big patio doors from the living room that open onto the garden. Completed by 70s style hatch from the kitchen to the living room and I'm basically in the backyard when in the kitchen eh! 😁

Absurd huh? And to top it off they were showing a replay of a Tahs v Reds game...
PN, NP, and Hamilton were/are compulsory stops to see mates, and we also wanted to check out the Green School in NP. It's pretty mint:
Also got 3 days of epic weather in NP, which makes it a pretty decent town with the beach and mountain. But I'm aware we got lucky
Heading to Raglan for 2 nights now, never been so looking forward to that

Same here. Generations of kids who only ever had liver via school dinners. Awful, just awful and petty much as you described. It took a long time for me to try it again. I might pinch that pasta recipe, sounds pretty good. Amount of cider probably the key?

@Bones the bit about is so true though, I've never eaten so much of it!
Ooooh mysterious. We're not still talking about Mrs Voodoo are we?
Yikes. Missed the key word/ingredient there! Meant to mention "butter". Normal butter, not some deviant interpretation!

@Catogrande Its actually a bit more than I said. Haven't used a recipe for years. Thinly slice some onions sweat them down so they cook but don't overly brown. Remove. Core and thinly slice an apple Fry until nicely caramelised. Chuck in some sage leaves and fry. Remove. Fry lightly dredged thinly sliced seasoned calves liver until cooked -still pink obviously. Remove. Chuck in a decent glug of dry cider to deglaze pan. cook off the alcohol and let it thicken. return other ingredients and mix through. You should get enough of a coating sauce so that its not dry when you turn it over a bowl of freshly cooked tagliatelle.
It is one of those dishes I used to cook regularly but now hardly ever as its hard to get calves liver here.
