I can't resist a response to this. I was forced to eat liver as a child
and hated it. Not long ago I had my anger (in self-help therapy measures)
at my Aunt who forced me to eat that liver. Now I enjoy raw liver when my
body needs it. According to my toxic mind theory,(still unpublished so I
can't explain it more on the Net) if emotions are pent up, toxic
neurochemicals clog up neurons in the limbic regions of the brain and
these neurons atrophy. The neurons in these same regions also affect
taste and smell. Maybe some detoxing of emotions would restore those
neurons and your interest in liver and eggs.
