"What am I, chopped liver?"

Someone you're taking for granted, when I'm right here under your nose or on your plate, made by your Mother who you never call and you now you should because she might be missing you and not feeling well right at this moment, so pick up the phone and call, bubbele!

[quote] Since eating chopped liver may not be appreciated by everyone, the Jewish English expression "What am I, chopped liver?", signifies frustration or anger at being ignored on a social level. An explanation of the expression is that chopped liver[, although still a meat dish,] was traditionally served as a side dish rather than a main course.

Chopped liver was one of the distrusting things I had to endure while dating a Jewish guy. 🤢

Please, it's called pate with the accents on the "a and "e". Fanny Brice tasted it when Nick Arnstein offered it to her, and she recognized it immediately as her old friend, chopped liver.

Basically chopped liver is not all that different from paté, although it is chopped more coarsely.

Rubbish, good pate has more than just chicken liver in it.

You've got moxie, kid. Moxie!

R10, it’s Concorde! Obviously you never flew on her.

My eyewitness account. In 1974 I went to a bar mitzva at the Chanticler Chateau, in Short Hills. there was a fabulous buffet that included chopped liver, which no one ate. It means to be overlooked for something better.

Chopped liver is delicious. So is gefilte fish.

Jewish soul food has a corollary, ya snobs. Quenelles, cold sorrel soup, pate... it’s country food, and if it came from France, nobody would be snooty about it

R14 sounds like peasant food. Similar to Polish food. Gross.

R12 The Concord Hotel served chopped liver, maybe the Concorde served pate (can't do the accents).

I used to go to the Jewish restaurants in LA when I was there. I don't think too much of it is good for you. It's all smoked and/or boiled to death - nothing fresh. I love matzo ball soup and challah the most. In fact, I bought a challah today and had some toasted, with my pea soup.

When Corona struck and all the London supermarkets were stripped bare, the kosher section was the only section left with food, no one knows what the fuck it is in WASPY Kensington. So I had a rather kosher lockdown. After a while, even the kosher section was ravaged.

Chopped liver refers to a drunk who's liver is so used up it's whistling Chopin.

I love chopped liver. But it's not heart friendly.

Does it have to be CHICKEN liver?

One place I used to go to in LA (it's me again) served chopped liver all spicy, which is just WRONG. It should be sort of bland.

Jewish food is not spicy. Well, paprika if you're fancy.

Sorrel soup is Polish but I'm sure Jewish people prepare it.

OP, in your case I shall make certain you ARE chopped liver.

It’s an inquiry seeking clarification as to whether the speaker is perceived as being as Ashkenazic platter made of the ground detoxification organ of an ungulate.

Is chopped liver the same thing as "deviled ham" in a can?

Signifies frustration or anger at being ignored on a social level.

An explanation of the expression is that chopped liver was traditionally served as a side dish rather than a main course. The phrase therefore may have originally expressed a feeling of being overlooked, as a "side dish"
