This recipe is from the vintage cookbook- Louisiana's Fabulous Foods. Well it sure doesn't sound fabulous to me. Liver and spinach together in a dumpling? What a pleasant culinary experience mixing that raw chopped liver and the rest of the ingredients.Just imagine the color of these little lumps.
Liver Dumplings
Calf liver, chopped, 1/2 pound
Bread, soaked in water and squeezed dry, 1/2 loaf
Flour, 1 tablespoon
Spinach, fresh, steamed, and chopped, 1/2 pound
Onions, to taste
Parsley, sprig
Eggs, beaten whole 2
Salt and pepper to taste
Nutmeg
Cayenne pepper
Saute onions in butter with a bit of parsley. Mix all ingredients and form in small oblong balls. Place in boiling salted water and cook until they float in the water. Then simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Take dumplings out; drain; put in bowl. Heat some butter to make a butter sauce; add chopped onions and brown. Pour over dumplings and serve. 6 to 8 servings. (if you can get anyone to eat them)

Odd and weird recipes from my large cookbook collection.
Weird Recipe Origins
While persuing my many cookbooks, adverstising booklets and cooking magazines I sometimes come across a recipe where I truely wonder what the originator was thinking. Sometimes they just sound like a terrible combination of ingredients. Other times it is what I call, the ingredient that doesn't belong. This is usually a food company trying to promote the use of their product in an inappropriate recipe. Recipes that might have found favor in past decades are sometimes so out of date they seem weird now.
