Thread: Where can I buy Calves Liver?

I really fancy cooking up some Liver and Onions but can't find Liver anywhere. All the recipes I've tried in the past I used Calves liver but I can't find it in Bangkok.

I tried Villa who tried to palm me off with chickens' livers and also Emporium who could offer me pigs' liver either the size of paving slabs or sliced into strips.

Any ideas? If you live near enough you can come and scoff them with me!

Would have thought Paragon would have it?

Possibly, but Emporium and Paragon are the same group - but I'll give it a try. Thanks

I don't think the Thai slaughter calfs, used to eat it every week in Paris Bonne chance..

I'm afraid you'll find it right next to the dragon steaks.

I was hoping some may have been imported from Oz or somewhere

I have eaten it in a farang pubs here but can't remember which

Try the Thai-French Butchery on Sukhumvit 33/1 (around the corner from Villa).

^ Many Thanks

More than welcome.

I had Liver and bacon in the Black Swan for lunch, quite expensive at 395 baht and the liver was a 3 inch slab that I could barely cut never mind chew on. Nobody around apart from the young girls to complain to so I just paid up and left.

My quest for some decent liver is still on!

^ £8.00 for liver and bacon in a pub ! boy you got it bad.......

You are right, however the food in there is normally quite good but the liver was not

Would have thought Paragon would have it?

theyll probably deliver as well.

I know it's not form a calf, but Sirroccos does a foie gras to die for.....

^Thanks for that

Never saw veal meat let alone the liver at Thai markets. Only pig liver -- yecch. If you really want liver and onions, then do the sow stuff, but panfry with onions and simmer with water for about an hour. Should be OK. I only eat calves liver. Too much crap in the older ones.

I will endeavor to find Calves liver I think - although I may not find it

Pig liver is quite alright if its de-veined properly and cooked lightly. Pig is also the freshest your apt to find in Thailand. Done properly its as good as any.

A good plate can be had at the Texas Bar in the "Square" off suk 22.

Thanks - I will give it a shot
