    My guess is chicken liver. Quail liver works too. It does seem itty bitty.

    Ha! Claudia wins!
    Just kidding, it’s a roasted chicken liver, so many of you are right. We roasted a chicken on Sunday, using Jacques Pepin’s method (to be found both in Chez Jacques or in Julia & Jacques): you put the bird, simply salted and peppered, nothing else, in a roasting pan on its side in a 425 degree oven and roast it for 20 minutes, then flip it to the other side, roast it for 25 minutes, then flip it on its back, breast-side up, for the final 15 minutes. A few minutes before the bird is done, slip the liver, salted and peppered, into the baking pan. When you take the bird out of the oven, let it sit for a bit before carving. Slice yourself a small piece of country bread, dip it in the pan juices and lay the liver on top. It’ll be all warm and salty and crusty and savory and juicy – goodness, the best part of the meal.

    Is it foie? I can’t tell if it’s chicken liver or foie gras though.

    Jacques Pepin’s technique is the way I always roast chicken (I actually start it on the stove before putting it in the oven). Never tried the chicken liver trick, though! Sounds good.

    I can tell you for certain that I am never ever going to eat that liver. Ever. You can invite me to dinner and you won’t have to worry about me joining the fight for the organ meats. Ever.

    Sounds a lot like James Beard’s roast chicken method, too. Yum.

    Aw man, I was so wrong. I was confident it was a roast jerusalem artichoke.
