liver and milk

[lilmosquito]

Has anyone ever heard of the myth that if you place a piece of raw liver beside a glass of milk, the liver will move towards the milk?

[xyzzyplugh]

yes, clinging to the milk, heard of that. But is it true?

[gerry]

ive never heard that 1 before

[xyzzyplugh]

heard that in 1972 :-) didn't believe it then.. but who knows, smoke and fire.. haven't googled it yet..

Before cooking pigs ( or stronger) liver, it's generally soaked for a few mins in milk to get rid of any bitterness, but I can honestly say that I've never yet seen any signs of it breaking into a smooch!

A creeping liver link;
FT132: I cannot say whether or not Garrick Alder's letter [FT129:50] about the milk-loving liver is true, but I have heard of the phenomenon before. About 25 years ago a workmate told me that a liver, bought by his aunt and stored in the fridge, was later found to have crawled from its shelf and wrapped itself around a bottle of milk. When I asked him how this could possibly happen, he told me it must have because the liver was "off". He got quite shirty when my incredulity remained unbudged.
