Hey all

When I was a child back in Syria my grandfather, who grew up in the isolated Syrian country side and was later a Pediatrician trained in West Germany, used to get us raw chicken liver. They were simply amazing. Probably the best thing ever to this day. We trusted him as he was very knowledgeable and he used to get the livers from freshly slain chickens, cut off some pieces with a knife and done.. Unfortunately, he left us very unexpectedly a few years back and to this day I feel the need to eat raw chicken liver again because it was just very good, but also probably to bring back some memories.

So I look on the internet and whenever raw chicken liver is mentioned, it's to ask if they are safe for cats and dogs! I mean I understand that chicken nowadays might have more parasites than chicken 15-20 years ago, but is it really that off from North American culture? (I'm in Canada now).

Luckily I found you guys! and you are probably the only ones who can help me understand how to correctly get and eat raw chicken liver.. and possibly get into the raw meat business because it sounds very interesting and natural to me. I'm a complete newbie and need to read a lot first, but thought i would drop this thread first to get a feel of how things are and maybe a quick and dirty answer to my question.

thanks a lot!
