Liver cake: A brutal Russian dish that has nothing to do with dessert! đ°
This meal would, most likely, top your list of âthe strangest things youâve ever eatenâ⊠But, maybe you're gonna love it!
A salty cake tastes better than you think. Each layer is actually a liver pancake greased with mayo or cream cheese and sandwiched with fried onions and carrots. If you are not told what you are going to eat, you may never guess what it is made of, because it is juicy, smells great and is nutritious.
It's not entirely clear whether this dish is a truly traditional Russian one. Regardless, it was widely cooked in the Soviet era, as well as other meals made from offal.
It was created in order to entice people to learn to like liver, which was cheap and affordable and a nice source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Many Soviet mothers used this trick to feed their kids liver. And Soviet doctors advised to eat liver to increase hemoglobin level.
