Remove the skin and membrane from 1# calves liver. Cut it into 1/3” slices. Dredge them with seasoned flour. Saute them until done, a matter of 2 or 3 minutes in a very little hot bacon drippings or melted butter. The pan may be rubbed with a cut clove of garlic, or you may flavor the liver when cooked with grated lemon rind and juice.

My mother thought liver was really good for you. She went through a stage where she cooked and served it for breakfast. Her favorite way to serve it was with bacon and onions, usually with squash on the side.
