Ramaki is an all time favorite Morris appetizer. We always make it with Bacon wrapped around Chicken liver & Water Chestnuts with Soy sauce sprinkled over it. Hold it all together with a toothpick and the stick it in the broiler, flipping it once to make sure the bacon gets crispy on both sides.
Leaving out the liver would change the flavor drastically. I did see other recipes online that use various other ingredients (Chicken Breast, Pineapple, Steak, etc)... but I honestly think the Liver adds a certain texture and taste that I like. I don't normally eat liver... but prepared this way it is delish! Besides, Liver is a great source of Vitamin A.
As an added bonus, this appetizer is a great low-carb appetizer! Some recipes I have seen include other ingredients such as Brown Sugar. While Brown Sugar may add a favorable flavor, unfortunately adding sugar would also make this great low carb snack have excessively high carbs, thereby defeating the purpose of it in the first place!
Also - The dip is necessary - Chinese Hot Mustard & Ketchup.

Yu-huh-uck! And since when do you cheerfully proclaim which vitamins foods contain as a reason for consuming them?! But do I at least get props for MAKING ramaki, even though you can't pay me to eat it? ;-)
Watching it being made was definitely worse than eating it, and actually it was not that bad. However, give me chocolate and I am much happier!

i was actually surprised how good it was...i'm still convinced that if you leave out the nasty liver (ulchhhh), and substitute sausage or something else, the result would be infinitely better. But, it was good. Props to Annie for making it and actually touching sick and nasty chicken liver.
History of Vitamin A
Probably the first nutritional deficiency to be clearly recognized was night blindness. The ancient Egyptians, as indicated in the Papyrus Ebers and later in the London Medical Papyrus, recommended that juice squeezed from cooked liver topically applied to the eye to cure night blindness. This writings date from 1500 BC, but the observations probably are of much earlier origin. The Greeks, who depended heavily on Egyptian medicine, recommended both the ingestion of cooked liver and its topical application as a cure for night blindness, a tradition that has persisted in many societies to his day.
