CHOPPED LIVER

   The OED's treatment of chopped liver "ain't chopped liver."  There's no direct "chopped liver" entry in the online OED, but there are two citations--one from the 1850s.
   From the BROOKLYN YELLOW PAGES, January 1951, pg. 731, col. 3:

_LITTLE ORIENTAL RESTAURANT INC_
   "FAMOUS FOR CHOPPED LIVERS"
   STEAKS . CHOPS
1546 PitkinAv...DTms 2-8731

   The 1952 directory and others had "FAMOUS FOR CHOPPED LIVER."
   Was this the Nathan's of chopped liver?
