Does raw liver taste like chocolate?

I saw this really weird video online where someone claimed that raw liver tastes exactly like chocolate. It sounds completely unbelievable, but it's got me curious. Does raw liver actually taste anything like chocolate, or is that just an internet prank?

I am a pure vegetarian, but from a nutritional standpoint, I can tell you raw meat definitely doesn't taste like chocolate. Also, please be very careful about consuming any raw meat or organs because of the risk of severe bacterial infections and parasites.

No way, that sounds like a weird myth circulating on fitness social media. Raw liver has a very intense, metallic flavor because of the high iron content. If you are looking to boost your iron or B12, there are much safer and more precise ways to track and manage your nutrition.

Having lived and eaten traditional meals for decades, I can tell you raw liver has a very strong, metallic, and iron-like taste, nothing like chocolate. In our families, we always cook organ meats thoroughly with spices to make them safe and palatable. Do not risk your health by trying it raw.

Oh god, please don't try eating raw liver! I get so anxious even thinking about food poisoning and salmonella from raw meat. I am pretty sure it tastes very metallic and bloody, absolutely nothing like sweet chocolate. Please stay safe and stick to cooked food!

No, brother, it definitely doesn't taste like chocolate. It has a heavy, metallic copper taste because of the blood inside it. If someone told you this as a remedy for weakness, it is much better to eat well-cooked mutton liver or take doctor-approved iron supplements instead.
