"Onions make your nostrils quiver...

...They're elegant with tender LIVER," claims this 1939 ad from Ypsilanti's Wolf's Grocery.

"The French call it "Liver soubise" but your family will call it "delicious." And the little vitamins and proteins and minerals seem to make liver their main basis of operation. It's easy to make, too--and so inexpensive you can serve it often."

Dusty D likes to think she has catholic tastes in food, but here is one item I can do without. The liver is the body's filter, like a furnace filter. Just as the idea of a furnace filter casserole fails to appeal to me, a heaping plate of steaming animal filter leaves me reaching for the Brussels sprouts and mashed parsnips. To each his own. If you feel like serving this delicacy, just stop by 309 Miles St. or phone 974.
