When I was a kid, I practically lived on tuna pot pies. however they do not exist anymore. You can get chicken and beef but no tuna. I did eat a occasional beef pie when I was young with the beef chunks having a close resemblance to tire rubber.. Anyone else not being able to get a food that they loved as a kid.

Calf's liver.

Only liver I have seen recently has been packaged stuff, not part of the regular butcher/meat department.

Of course, maybe nobody cares. :)

My mother loved liver fried with onions and made us eat it when we were kids. I had a beef processed a while back if you were closer I would sure donate you the liver.
Not had liver in 50 years and not looking for it.
As far as food no longer around try to find a can of purple hull peas. I prefer my garden peas but sometimes when the crop is light or we run out we resort to canned. I have not seen a can around here in 4-5 years.
No more fat free sour cream either. Our local Wal Mart no longer has green peas I asked and was told they do not carry them any longer. Well Dollar General does.
 
Many companies, especially those bought out by someone else, are using cheaper ingredients in an effort to make more money. They are making their product not as tasty as the original. Once I figure this out I quit buying that product. I still eat turkey pot pies. I will not eat liver as long as steak can still be had.
 
Have eaten brains, heart, liver and stomach.
Rice bug and baby squid in Thailand.
Lingua Taco in San Antonio. You would think that a guy who knows 30 words of Spanish and 29 words of Latin would know what Lingua is!
As a kid, probably the worse, Head Cheese.
Almost forgot. Sweet Breads in San Francisco.
They have to call then Sweet Breads! Called by their real names makes them hard to eat!
Sweetbreads are a culinary term for the thymus and pancreas glands of young animals, such as calves, lambs.

My mother was a liver junkie. She once , while deer hunting, sent my brother back up the hill to where he had killed his deer, in the pouring rain, because he hadn't brought the liver with him. She wasn't gonna let him in the truck without that liver. I ate a freeze-dried meal in a bag that night.
 
My old girl friend's mom made us steak and kidney pie in Bolton. It was fantastic.
