Primary liver cancers 'soaring'

Lily livered? No fatty livered.

"Cases of primary liver cancer, an often preventable disease, have trebled in the last 30 years, figures suggest.

While it is not uncommon for cancer to spread to the liver, Cancer Research UK statistics show incidents where it starts in the organ have risen sharply.
Cases of cancer overall have increased over recent decades as people live longer and detection methods improve.

But experts say hepatitis C infections, as well as alcohol and obesity, have helped fuel the spike in liver cases...

Obesity is now thought to be one of the most common causes of liver disease, while cases of cirrhosis associated with excessive drinking are known to have soared in the UK in recent years."

Oink.

Pate de foie de pork (pig liver pate)

Strips of fatback or bacon to line the terrine, 1 1/2 lbs pig liver, cubed, with veins and connective tissue removed, 1 1/2 lbs sowbelly or fatty shoulder, 1/2 lb leaf lard, 1 large egg, 4 tablespoons of flour blended with 1/2 cup dry white wine, seasoning to taste.

Grind together all of the meat and lard. Add the other ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Follow the preceeding terrine directions for cooking and preservation. This is a classic French country style pate.

(No. I am not suggesting that you eat the livers of fat people.)
