If I had to guess...Hard-Boiled Liver is most likely an idiom. Liver is supposed to be good for you, but it's not something most people, particularly those under a certain age, are going to want to eat, because of what it is, it's taste or both. I suspect it's a comparison between the officer and his daughter. The parent trying to do right by the child, but the kid doesn't want any of it, even though it's good for them.
