The trouble with raw liver is that it is the organ where animals concentrate
a lot of metabolic wastes and poisons, as well as high concentrations of
vitamin A that in some species can be lethal (e.g., polar bears). Of course,
300+ years ago there would have been fewer ambient wastes in the environment
to be concentrated, so honoring animals' souls woulda been safer...
