hi I've just bought a bag of beef bones to cook for hopefully a beef tea drink to sip if hungry etc and I wondered if lambs liver is good for a LCHF diet. Any feedback would be great from anyone xx

Ewww, disgustrous stuff... I just couldn't.... My mum used to force me to eat it as a child, ever since then I'd throw up if I even put it in my mouth.

Liver, just like marmite - you either love it or hate it, BUT much like you James my mum use to force it upon us, it was overcooked & like an old leather boot and I had avoided it in adult life until I tried a really well (not over!) cooked piece of liver - it was fantastic!

Lambs liver is excellent and ridiculously cheap. If you like it, and haven't tried calves liver, that is a gourmet treat especially served pink but much more expensive. (Sorry vegetarians!).

Only if you enjoy it, but don't eat too much or you can get vitamin A overload.

Everyone's talking about the liver. What about the bag of beef bones????????? Am I missing something here?
What is the process for obtaining a bag of beef bones?
" Good morning my good man, nice weather we're having, I'll have a top side of beef and would you by chance have a bag of beef bones?"
Sorry @Rosiegough_ I only jest but your thread really raised a smile. Just a mental image I conjured up.

Hi @Rosiegough ..
Yes .. @Knighthawk22 is correct -1.8gm Carbs in 100gm liver
It's pretty straightforward to find out for yourself, though ..
Just go to Google and type in carbs followed by whatever food you are concerned with ..
for example ... carbs lambs liver ... will give you the info that you want
Hope this helps

Hey @NoCrbs4Me . I have learnt something new today. I guess the demise of a lot of local butchers makes it difficult to obtain a lot of things these days. I have to be honest I didn't know you could buy a bag of bones.:)

Liver counts as one of the most nutritious foods available. Far better than our old friend broccoli. lol.
But as someone said above, don't have it too often. It is sooooo nutritious it can overload you with some vitamins.
Once a week or so, is fine.

@therower
the beef bones thing is because of bone broth. Good for low carbers to get certain minerals, and very good for health on quite a few levels.

I get mine from the butchers at the end of the road. I think the poor love believes I am going to give them to the dogs (and I do give SOME of them to the mutts), but the majority go into my slow cooker and simmer with exquisite slowness for about 24 hours. A tablespoon of cider vinegar in the water causes all the nutrition to leach out of the bones, and into the liquid, while things like the cartilage dissolve. Then you just strain the bones out and use the liquid however you like - stock for soups and stews, drink it by the mug, freeze it and keep it for later.

If you google 'Bone Broth' you will find quite a cult following nowadays. I don't do the cult thing, but I must say it comes in very useful at times, and can taste absolutely delicious.

(My butcher charges £1 a carrier bag for the bones. Sometimes a bag can contain about 6-8 skeletal chicken carcasses or a huge amount of pork or beef ribs. With quite a lot of the meat left on.)

yes I know a butcher that has bags of bones, all nicely labelled up as to which animal they are(were?) on a table out side 'for the dog' for a 50p

Most high-street butchers (and good butchery dept in a supermarkets) will have beef bones @therower

They make a good stock much the same as a Ham Hock does when making a pea & ham soup.

I used to dislike liver, But now adore it. I go for pigs liver, stronger tasting than lambs liver but we prefer it like that. Pennies for a meal, too.

Ox liver for me by far the best as far as I am concerned. With onions and a fried egg - yum!
