RE: Is there really such a thing as chopped liver?
Oh yes. chopped chicken livers are wonderfu. the gently poached livers are chopped, so that they still have some texture. hard boiled eggs are added.. chicken fat, and spices.. the result, an ambroisa. Some deli's have good chopped chicken liver, but appetizing shops.. similar to deli's but not quite the same, are good sourses. Manhattans lower east side, or parts of flushing, (queens) or brooklyn-- where i am less familiar with the neighborhoods, every borough has at least one nieghborhood, that has the best appetizing shop, that has the best chopped chicken liver..

chopped liver is one of those dishes, that sounds like nothing.. it is the simplest of food, but when done right, it is fit for a king.
