Anybody ever experience crunchy like bits or coming across crystal like objects when eating raw liver?

I think they are vessels of some sort. Not sure.

  When I let kidney ferment, it seems to get crystals of salt in it.  Just looked it up now, to see if there's any sodium in it:

    I haven't eaten organs lately, or much at all.  I think I found things in pancreas, don't recall right now.  What do the crunchy bits you find taste like?

Nothing really, its just kinda gross and freaky and I would like to know if its a sign of a "sick" liver

Once I obtained a liver with sand on it. It was more crunchy than usual.

I would think of crunchy bits as dirt, as in toxins stored in the liver.
Remember that liver is a filter.
So I don't eat those.
