Do NOT Eat Polar Bear Liver!

[Kirk Freeman]

At my club's Sunday afternoon workout, which was not the hill today, but a tabata sandwhiched between two Ross circuits (ugh) I learned from a co-participant that one should not eat polar bear liver as it contains toxic amounts of vitamin A.

I told him I'd Google that, what do you know he's right!!

HowStuffWorks "Will I die if I eat polar bear liver?"

So, if you are lost in the Artic and need to eat a polar bear, eschew the liver. Who knew?

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Didn't know vitamin A could be fatal. The more you know!

I remember reading a story about an Antarctic expedition in which the party had to resort to eating their dogs.
One member of the party didn't like the tough meat and only ate the livers and he ended up dead from vitamin A poisoning.
So it isn't just polar bears.

Hmmm...I thought everyone knew this? I remember being told that one decades ago. Filed it away in the "watch out for vitamin A overdose" file.

Damn, there goes the crateful of polar bear jerky I got at the last gun show!

 

[hooky]

I always thought the onions counteracted the high levels of vitamin A

Ashamed to say I did not know this.

What if a polar bear got out of the zoo? Finally a justification for having that .505 Gibbs but I'll pass on the liver. Assuming the cops let me keep it.

Is that because they drink too much Coca-Cola?

I never did acquire a taste for polar bear liver, but baby seals are delicious.

If you don't eat, why do you need to eschew it? Do you eschew, then espit?

But you can eat seal liver.

I love liver sausage sandwitch spread. HUMM, i wonder if its made out a real liver ????

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Now, could you eat a bit of it, just as a delicacy, without a fatal dose? I wonder what it would taste like. Not like I have polar bears infesting my yard, but with the inverse of global warming going on, you never know.

I'll just stick with bacon wrapped chicken livers.

Mmm...

 

[Chefcook]

I will do my very best to restrain myself...

 

[Sylvain]

Duck liver is tasty.

 

[mrjarrell]

Duck liver is tasty.

Fatty goose liver is even better.

 

[Colt]

.... as long as my favorite, venison liver, is not on the toxic list. We are having it for dinner tonight. Wikipedia lists polar bear, seal, walrus, and husky liver as dangerous.

I was going to say there are many other things in life I want to try before I try polar bear liver.
