    Liver Loaf and Other Loaf Meals

    Published: Sep 5, 2019 · Updated: Sep 5, 2019 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    If you are on my email list you know how I feel about the liver.  I've not eaten it much but I always enjoyed it.  The only time I ever really ate it was at my grandmother's.  I think she viewed it as cheap, nutritious meat.  I liked the taste, she'd bury in onions, and I think roll it in flour.  I remember buying liver once when I was in college and frying some and my Dad is a not a liver fan, he banished me to another room to eat it.

    But this is a rather interesting recipe that comes to us from the Big Valley of Pennsylvania where a variety of Amish groups live. A "liver loaf", probably is blended with enough hamburger to sort of take some of that "liver edge" off.

    Loaf meals in general are easy and wonderful, because you just slice off a hearty hunk of whatever it is you are eating.  Good stuff!

    Laundry on the line at this Old Order Mennonite farmhouse.  Loaf meals are popular in Amish and Mennonite kitchens.

      Love love liver and onions. Even as a kid I loved it. My mother dipped it in flour and fried it in bacon grease and then smothered it with onions. None of my 3 boys liked it at all growing up. Such complaining when I cooked it. Wish I had some for supper. I always loved chicken livers too. Never had liver loaf.
