I'm thinking about buying some liver to give to 9 month old dd as she seems to like strong meaty tastes.

I hate liver so never normally buy it. Which would you recommend for tenderness and flavour; lamb, pig or calve's liver?

Lamb or chicken; only organic.

I always use lambs liver. I always soak it in milk over night because that's what my mum used to do.

Chicken livers, but they must be organic.

I am currently craving my scrummy chicken liver salad, but I mustn't have it until DD2 comes along in March!

You can get organic chicken livers from Waitrose. Bit of honey and soya sauce, grill. Or simmer gently in stock. In fact having that for lunch today. Yum!

Lamb - its impossible to buy organic from normal places though so lamb the best bet for not mucked about with.

Slice it really thinly then dust it in flour and fry for 2 mins a side then add to prefried bacon and onions...mmm

And as the liver is involved in processing anything toxic in the body (is that the right way to put it?), I'd go for organic, even more than with other meat.

I love liver
