...so I had egg salad sandwiches, and Jan opted for some Ramen noodles and a hard roll.....ok ok...we forgot to put the boneless pork roast in the oven..
I had a BLT. No kidney at my supermarket nor can they order one. Meat manager told me to check with the slaughter house in Hattiesburg. I know the place well. It's where I used to take my young male goats after I pussied out on doing the job myself. He said they're slaughtering some show cows now so I should be able to get some nice kidneys.

The only time I went to a slaughter house was when my Mom and I would go to get calves brains.....Mom fried them with potatoes, and a few onions, then scrambled eggs in the mix...delicious....sometimes we'd get a tongue too....Mom cooked it like a corned beef with pickling spices.....we'd make sandwiches with a little catsup mixed with fresh horseradish......MMMmmmm...on toast.... ;D
OMG, my mom used to make tongue. She bought smoked ones. I tried a fresh one. It just isn't the same. Isn't it the most tender delectable meat you have ever eaten?. Yep, cooked like corned beef. The first night it was served hot with boiled cabbage. After that the sandwiches. Perhaps I'll have the slaughter house save me a tongue, too. A small smoker isn't that expensive.

well maybe not that good....LOL...I really like corned beef and cabbage ya know... ;D
Eww you ate that :o?
I ate some tongue that my brother cooked a couple times,lengua tacos.
Reminded me of well cooked roast beef.
Tacos de lengua is made from fresh tongue. Really, really, really, it's 100 times better when it's smoked before cooking.
BB, I figured I'd gross some folks out by talking about eating tongue and kidney. I'll tell you a story...My English mom would have her fancy friends over for brunch and tea. She's make kidney stew. Everyone raved about it and would ask what it was. She knew not to tell them. She's say, "Oh it's just an old English recipe." Sometimes it's better know knowing ;D ;D
Yep, if you fed me that I would not be able to tell what type of meat it was. And I would rather not know :o.

Well why not? You keep one in your mouth 24/7...!
I've never eaten it, but would give it a go if I knew someone that knew how to prepare and cook it for me. Guess I could look recipes up on the net.
I'll try anything. Only think I've ever tasted that grossed me out was Chlittin's. I'd even try it a couple more times if I were given the chance. The ones I ate might have been disgusting due to poor technique.

Yummmmmm...! Mugsy, I always get hungry when you write about food...!
But...it's a tongue :o. I am all for a good piece of meat. Actually I don't eat anything that comes from the sea. No fish shrimp or clams. I am perfectly fine with the thought of eggs, heck I could be thinking of how an egg embryo and still be eating. Ok the sausage thing is a little disgusting but I still could eat it. Nice try ;).
Not that I'd ever eat it but how is kidney prepared. I was into feeding my dogs raw several years ago. I bought a kidney from the slaughterhouse. It was awful....smelled like a urinal. I gagged... :o

It is a waste filter, ya know..!
No wonder it smelled like pee,lol ::)
...bite your tongue , Mugs...bite your tongue......no pun intended
They're chicken embryo's, Mug. Excellent food ;D
Pauline, I remove the membranes from the kidney if the butcher hasn't removed them before hand. Then I soak the kidney in vinegar water for an hour or two. Sometimes I don't bother with that step. Then cut the lobes into chunks avoiding the white fatty stuff in the middle. That part is for the dogs. Dredge the chunks in flour. Saute them over med high until browned add some chopped onion and a clove or two of garlic and a bit of rosemary and bay leaf toward the end of the browning process. Add either red wine or water and with some red wine vinegar. I like the water and wine vinegar motr than plain old wine. It gives it a bit of zip. simmer gently for 10 or 15 minutes. You can serve it with a nice green salad with potatoes or QVER RICE
A good fresh kidney should never smell like pee. I have never gotten one that smelled like pee. If I got one that smelled like pee I don't think I'd even feed it to the dogs!

I know that...LOL...I brought it up first.... ;D...and Kidney's or liver never get cooked here......ever.....long story...
Yay story time. I have time for a story :).
Come on to my house. I'm going to give you old English recipe :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mriXncI96lw
I remember my dad chasing us kids around the house with a tongue. Then he stewed it up and we had it for dinner. I don't remember how it tasted. Must not of been too bad. I've also had taco de lengua and tacos de tripitas. Not a big fan of the tripe. But tongue is okay.

The story....
When I was young, I had rheumatic fever......they gave me a pure liver extract that was blood red black....smelled terrible, tasted worse...when spilled on my pj's it formed a scab/stain that never came out......just typing this brings that awful taste back in my mouth.....
My grandmother knew of this and tried hard to find a way that I might try it again.....she cooked the pounded liver with bacon and apples, old German style.....I have to admit, if always smelled terrific.....but I ate the great breaded pork chop that she cooked on the side for me....bless her heart, I miss her......she made the best strawberry preserves that anyone ever ate.....warmed it up in a dble boiler and made homemade drop biscuits...just for me....I always picked her flowers.... ;D.....such a sweet person she was.... ;D
