WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH CHOPPED LIVER?

Over on the (en)gender message boards, my friend Betty thought someone was neglecting her and her wife Helen, and replied, "What are we, chopped liver?"

I've heard this expression many, many times, but I just don't get it. Why do people think chopped liver is something inferior? There is nothing inferior about chopped liver. I love chopped liver. It's wonderful.

As long as they put in onions.
