you should undercook liver slightly, it's supposed to be pink and it does toughen a lot when overcooked. depends on the thickness obviously but it generally cooks faster than steak.

you can get it from Tesco in their Finest range or from Marks and Spencers in their Cook! range

Calves' liver is wonderful. However, the liver you can buy at Tesco or Sainsbury is usually Dutch and is raised in a manner banned in the UK for several years. If you're going to have veal of any sort then only buy British.

If you can't get British calves' liver then use lambs' liver, just don't overcook it.
