Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 30, 2014

Rover will make short work of your yucky dinner, Red!

Cant tell you how many times my Dickie ate my liver for me as a kid. I KNOW my Dad knew but he never said a word, because he hated the stuff too! Poor Mom.

Oh how I love fried liver and onions with poor mans gravy. The liver lightly floured with a little bit of salt and pepper and some herbs for taste and the onions sauteed till they a clear now that some good stuff.

One boy’s poison is his own dog’s treat!

Not sure how we know Reds meal is liver, but what else could it be?

I hated the stuff as a youngster but enjoy it as a grown-up. Only problem is, it’s stinky to cook, so my lover & onions are restricted to the occasional restaurant lunch special.

I thank my bad heart for giving me a good excuse for not eating organ meats, including liver.Cumadin works for the Brussels sprouts.

The expression on Red’s faces is what makes the strip for me – flashback city, thanks Brian.

I guess we are to ascertain Red is served a meal of liver & onions, and this is the ONLY meal Red has trouble swallowing..In any case, I am right there with Red on this one. I love the smell of it being prepared; mostly I assume, because cooking liver is overwhelmed by cooking onions. For me, it is not the smell or the taste; but, it is the texture..Just like with tongue and a few other organs, the texture of liver forces my jaws to shut tight after the first attempted chew! I am lucky if I can swallow the crap…

I hate liver. I always leave the kitchen when Mom makes liver so she can get the iron in her blood up so she can give her plasma.
