Fish Lover Posted July 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi all, My mom just asked me to post the following question. Last year we were on the last August cruise to Bermuda, aboard the Summit. On the last night (I think it was the last night) one of the MDR selections was liver and onions. My mother raved about it (I tasted hers and wish I had ordered it), I've perused all the posted menus, and they seem idemntical to last year but haven't seen this as a choice. Has anyone who has gone recently recall whether this was ever a selection? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwcruisers Posted July 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yikes! Liver and onions on the menu would be the best excuse I could ever have for going to the specialty restaurant, that night! Just the smell of it cooking makes me nauseous! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvlandandsea Posted July 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I had it for lunch in the mdr on my last 2 Celebrity cruises. The best I ever had also. Good enough to comment in my cruise assessment. Johanne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin B Posted July 25, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Be thankful they didn't also offer tripe.:p Seriously, Back in the sixties we often had lamb's fry with bacon, onions and gravy. It is quick, cheap and very tasty so long as the liver isn't overcooked. Hmm, I wonder if my local butcher has some lamb's fry....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_bad_example Posted July 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 25, 2015 My concerns with liver are related to the beverage packages Once you reach the Ludicrous Club Points Level, you get access to the Double Secret Super Premium Beverage Package, which includes a free liver transplant from a teenage Mormon immediately following your cruise.

It is definately worth anyone trying.Thanks! I think you might be onto something...I had a delicious liver entree on the Silhouette last June...at lunch! Was the only meal our entire cruise that I would've ordered seconds of!! I'll be looking for it on our upcoming Solstice to Alaska! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty decent benefit, since Betty Ford is over $1,200.00 a day! Of course, for $1,200.00 a day, we could enjoy a nice selection of vintage first growth Bordeaux...

monicajay Posted July 25, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I did not see liver on the menu of the Summit. It is a favorite for me so I'd have ordered it had it been available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snit13 Posted July 25, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 25, 2015 My favorite meal is liver and onions, especially venison liver. Would rather have than steak, lobster, or any other tasty treat. Bring on the liver but not to often as not good for folks with high cholesterol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynbar Posted July 25, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 25, 2015 This discussion reminds me a little of Princess, who a few years back added a nightly choice to their dinner menus that was more comfort food, or home cooking. One example was liver and onions, another I think was pot roast, can't remember the others right now. Well, reaction was loud and mixed --- some cruisers loved the chance to have some more casual dinner choices, especially on a long cruise, and some cruisers were appalled that something so "plain" would be offered for dinner. We saw quotes like "I can make that at home, I don't want it on a cruise" and others that were more, shall we say, expressive. My last few cruises have been on Celebrity so I don't know if Princess still does this, but I actually kind of liked having a choice on some nights. Wish I saw liver and onions on a Celebrity menu, my DH can't abide it so I have never cooked it in all our years of marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin B Posted July 26, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 26, 2015 yep, so-called "peasant food" is often looked at with a curl of the lip simply because of its cheap and cheerful origins but it can be delicious if prepared well. My Damascus moment came at a New year dinner at a super posh restaurant in Chiang Mai Thailand when I spied a bread and butter pudding on the buffet table and thought "what the heck is that doing in a place like this"?? Curiosity prodded me to take a small serve which was quickly followed by another bigger one and since then I have made this for our own Christmas celebrations on several occasions.

Bring on the liver but not to often as not good for folks with high cholesterol. We have a steady venison supply, but I never thought to save the liver. I plan to try this delicacy this coming fall! How do you prepare yours, if you don't mind sharing? Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin B Posted July 28, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have never eaten venison liver so will leave suggestions as to sauces, gravies etc to others. However, the golden rule of cooking all types of liver is: Do Not overcook It Just roll it in flour and pan fry it at a fairly high temperature while stirring and keeping your eyes on it all the time. 5 minutes should be plenty of time but I usually cut a smaller piece open just to make sure it is cooked through. Better underdone than over though. Vegies and other accompaniments need to be ready first so the liver can go straight from pan to plate - let it hang around too long and it is not so good.

marco Posted July 28, 2015 #24 Share Posted July 28, 2015 We went to Bermuda last month on the Summit. I don't recall L and O on the dinner menu, however we never had lunch in the dining room and it may have been offered for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternTrader Posted July 29, 2015 #25 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've just returned from an Eclipse voyage to Iceland & the Fjords and liver was on the menu at least twice - when I spotted it, it had replaced the NY Strip on the "always available" side of the menu. The chicken & salmon options were always there but, if I recall correctly, the NY Strip only made fleeting appearances during the 14 day voyage (though it was definitely there on the last night).
