Snickerdoodle Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Anyone cook kidney? Was it beef or lamb? How and what did you cook? Quote
shukriyya Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I remember steak and kidney pie from my childhood. Haven't cooked it myself but I imagine it would be pretty easy to find a recipe online as it's a pretty standard way to cook kidneys in England. Quote
Laura Corin Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I love kidney, but husband is not keen. The boys will eat liver but husband won't eat that either. I think I should try heart: I remember that being a rich taste but not as strong. Laura Quote
Snickerdoodle Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Laura, be more specific. Beef or lamb kidney? How was it prepared? By the way, beef heart is very good. It tastes more or less like any muscular bit but the texture is more smooth. I recommend a Peruvian anticuchos type recipe if you like lots of flavor. Quote
Snickerdoodle Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Ok, I ordered some lamb kidneys. I need a recipe or idea that is egg, dairy and gluten free. :bigear: Quote

I'm pretty sure it was lamb kidney, made with a wine sauce. Something like this one. I'll have to do it again, now that Husband is in London from Monday to Friday. Laura Quote
whitestavern Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 :lurk5: We have beef kidneys, liver and heart from purchasing a grass fed cow this winter. Quote
LG Gone Wild Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 What a cool topic! No way in hell though. Quote
mumto2 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Lamb is preferred. For liver too. I do not like them but I chat with my butcher! Quote
Snickerdoodle Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 I have never tried lamb liver. Well the kidneys are on order so I will get them in a couple of weeks. I will have to update when we try them. :cheers2: Quote
Snickerdoodle Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 I do have a freaky kidney story though. He was probably thinking, "Can't she tell it's rotten?" <laughing> Quote
Snickerdoodle Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 LOL Well, hopefully the farmer can get me some fresher kidneys. We tried beef thymus recently, but that seemed like a lot of work to prepare. Or maybe I wasn't doing it right. Quote
Snickerdoodle Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 No way in hell though. Offal isn't necessarily awful. :) Quote
TXMomof4 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 What a cool topic! No way in hell though. My thoughts exactly! Quote
DianeW88 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I don't eat organ meat. The kidney and liver filter toxins, drugs, pesticides, and other nasty stuff out of the body. They are not the best choice for human consumption...unless you don't mind eating the residual poisons. Quote

They are not the best choice for human consumption...unless you don't mind eating the residual poisons. That is what I always thought. I am curious if organ meet has been tested for toxins and compared with, I dunno, a steak or pork chop. Either way, no thanks to organ meat for me! Quote
jenL Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 My first thought was beans? Okay, let's see what's in this thread... No way am I going to voluntarily eat organ meat. The thought of it makes MY stomach turn. However, I know many people who really love it! Quote
Chris in VA Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 What a cool topic! No way in hell though. I know. I just threw up a little in my mouth. Quote
Karen in CO Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I know. I just threw up a little in my mouth. I can never get the description from Ulysses of Bloom eating the fried kidney's out of my head. I'll be nice to the people planning to eat it and not quote it. Quote
Lady Florida. Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 What a cool topic! No way in hell though. :iagree: Offal makes me gag. Offal isn't necessarily awful. :) Depends on who you ask. See my comment above. :001_smile: Quote
