Yeah raw liver is unlikely.  Best thing to do with it is as little as 
possible.  Serve on lightly toasted, neutral-flavoured white bread.  
Take particular note of the velvetty texture and the complex way the 
fattiness melts in the mouth.

Wash down with a crisp white wine, or possibly champagne.  In France 
it's the traditional food for New Year, so goes with champagne though I 
would think something more neutral.

Mmmm.  Would like to be eating that kinda thing.  Here in Eastern Europe 
(currently in Riga) I'm getting pretty sick of pork, pork, pork and 
pork...
