Yes Santanfara liver is usually considered to be very good for you. It is high protien, low fat and full of iron. However, pregnant women and older people have, in the past, been advised to take care - especially if the liver is underdone - since it might harbour toxins.
Liver used to be eaten regularly here in the UK. These days though it is less popular. Most people seem to dislike its strong flavour. Traditionally lambs (or sometimes pigs liver, which has a stronger flavour) was cooked with onion and gravy (and sometimes bacon).
A short while back all types of offal became fashionable in certain top resturants. Liver, particularly calves liver, which has a mild flavour, was served very thinly sliced and cooked rare.
I am not fond of liver myself. However, the last time I was in The Gambia I ate some well cooked goat liver that was being sold by a roadside vendor. I wouldn't say it was the best meal I've ever eaten but it was OK. What surprised me was that there were fatty parts to the liver, not something I've ever seen on liver sold in the UK.
I really didn't know I had so much to say about liver intil I started typing this

I am not a big fan of liver, BUT "foie gras" (duck or goose liver) is something else. I tried it for the first time last year in Normandy, France as part of the first course of a meal. Then again, the French can cook anything and make it look and taste really good! But why are the portions so darn small?!
Thanks!

| Foie gras is a result of a force-feeding through a tube placed in the throat of a duck or a goose. A very painfull method, according to some welfare organizations, and illegal in several countries. I wouldn´t eat it! |

Kiwi I agree. Very cruel and unnecessary!     |

Actually, it is the brouhaha about the force feeding of ducks and geese that piqued my interest in trying it. So please beware what you tell your kids....you tell them not to smoke cigarettes or marijuana, but be rest assured they will try it out !
Jokes aside, I agree that the treatment of the birds is awful; and join you in affirming that I will also NEVER knowingly eat it again (now that I have satisfied my curiosity).
Thanks!
