4 slices to the pound, (sliced thin) but I have wonderful memories of a big chunk of liver in the butcher shop, where the butcher would slice off whatever you wanted, and the slices would be about 1/2 inch thick each. I like my liver medium rare, after browning the outside, but can't prepare it like this with the thin slices that are available at the local groceries. I've searched the internet, but haven't found anyone who could provide me with thick-sliced calves liver. Do any one of you have any suggestions? TIA

 
Try a Mexican meat market it you have one near you. (Carniceria)

Higado Encebollado (Liver & Onions) is very popular in our Mexican community

 
Believe it or not, I found fresh "young" beef liver, custom cut for me, at a meat market about

45 minutes away! "Farm Fresh Meats", and there is a livestock auction behind the market. The market told me that they don't carry calf's liver, because it is so expensive, (probably not much market for it in south Alabama), but they said that I will be very pleased with their "young" beef liver. Can't wait to try some, as I love liver, and the thin slices frozen from the grocery store are such a disappointment.

Thanks, Melissa, for giving me the idea to search farther!

 
PS to Melissa: with the passage of Alabama's new, strict, immigration law, Hispanics have fled

Alabama, there's not a Carniceria to be found.

All the stores, markets, restaurants, that catered to them have closed, and Alabama farmers are not planting the crops they grew last year, because there is no one to pick their crops, and the fruits and vegetables lay rotting on the ground this past summer and fall.

There's gotta be a better way to deal with this!
