Happy National Liver and Onions Day from the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve!

Liver: A Supernatural Source of Strength?
Organ meats, like liver, have been consumed by humans for millennia. Perhaps this is because ancient cultures recognized the incredible nutritional value packed into these unassuming offal cuts. Liver is a powerhouse of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins. These nutrients were crucial for maintaining strength and vitality, especially important when facing the unknown creatures rumored to lurk in the shadows.
The Jersey Devil's Favorite Meal?
Speaking of unknown creatures, legend has it that the Jersey Devil, a nightmarish fusion of bat, kangaroo, and goat, has a particular fondness for... you guessed it, liver! While the Jersey Devil remains a cryptic denizen of the Pine Barrens, the story highlights the importance of a strong body to survive encounters with the strange and monstrous.
Liver and Onions: Fueling Monster Hunters Since... Forever
Whether you're facing a fearsome Jersey Devil or simply a long day of wrangling wandering jackalopes, liver and onions provides the sustenance needed for the task at hand. The iron in liver helps keep your blood pumping, while the vitamin A can aid in night vision (useful when spotting those elusive cryptids!).
