Title: Hello! Introducing myself!
Post by: boxcarguy07 on June 20, 2008, 07:18:51 am
Hello all!
I just ate my first bit of raw organ meat, so I now feel qualified to have an account here, haha.
It was 4 oz. of raw grass-fed beef liver. I do wish to share my experience.
I've never had liver before, cooked or otherwise. I ate the first bite without much hesitation. The flavor was sooo very interesting, like nothing I've ever experienced. I actually made some weird noises in response. By the middle of it, I was growing tired of the taste. The texture was not that bad though. However, by the end of it, I kind of enjoyed it. I liked sucking the flavory juices out of it and then chewing what was left.
I might marinate it in a little lemon juice next time.
I am pretty new to this... bought some grass-fed ribeye steak from a grocery store last week, ate that raw and it was delicious! And I ate raw fish (red tuna and mahi mahi) in the weeks before that. But that liver was something very new indeed.
Anyways, just saying hi! I have some questions but I will post those elsewhere.

Welcome Boxcarguy07!
You're off to a good start. It took me a while to get used to raw liver and other organ meats. But now, I like it - even crave it sometimes. At the rate you're going, you'll be eating high-meat by tomorrow! :) Good job! This is the best thing you could do for your health, fitness, and well-being.

Welcome. It sounds like you are well on your way. Raw liver is not for the faint at heart! I wish one of our advanced rpders would post a video of himself/herself eating raw liver, spleen, eyeballs or something. A beginner would be even better to see for the facial expressions. :)
I too eat beef and fish raw mainly. Rib eye is my favorite steak cut. I am not 100% raw all the time, but I feel so much better with the majority of my food raw.
