is this my week of bizarre food-related mishaps or what? following closely after the lip-nougat battle, comes this afternoon’s liver-on-scone debacle. yes, that’s liver. on. scone. sigh.
it all began with the buttering up of a supermarket scone. i put the knife down while i went to fetch the new raspberry jam from the pantry, and then picked up the knife and broke the flat new jam surface and continued on my merry way. mmm… jam. then i took a bite of jammy scone, and there was a surprising undercurrent of liver!
what!?
and so it transpired that, by mistake, i had picked up the boy’s knife with which he had just applied thick livery layers of pate to some rye toast! and i had stuck it into my new raspberry jam! and spread it all over my scone!
i was very unhappy, and each bite of strange raspberry-liver scone made me just a bit unhappier, and then i had to get a spoon and scoop out the liver-tinged bits of jam from the jar, and eat them.
ok, well, i probably didn’t have to eat the livery bits out of the jar.

oh yes, the strawberry and liver combination!
oh it was raspberry. I dont know about raspberry and liver, Hmmmm
LOL
hmm, it doesn’t sound so bad.. I’ve come across my fair share of Pan Seared Foie Gras with Raspberry Vinaigrette / Jus/ Gelee.
saffron: i know it’s so uncool and culinarily-unsophisticated to say, but an anything-liver combination would be quite doubtful, in my books. snouts and entrails, all of it.
although once i did partake of a lamb’s fry breakfast. i avoided the chunks of actual liver, and concentrated on the chunks of bacon and the mildly livery gravy. i was surprised by how tasty it was, dagnabbit!
umami: hello! is this your first time here? oh i agree with you that a sweet highlight to a savoury dish is a treat indeed, however a livery undercurrent to a teatime snack (or fruity dessert) is something that brings out the ugliest faces in me.
