This meal looks good to me, does it to you?

I enjoy talking to you. You're one of the reasons that I love this site!
I hope saying that I was impressed by you didn't offend you....if it did, I apologize for that, it was never my intent.

If your sweetness offends anyone, I would be surprised.

I'm no expert, but I was at some English folks home (here in the US) and they served steak and kidney pie, I think it was called.

I thought they meant kidney *beans*. Horrified, I was, to find out they meant actual kidneys. Not from a human, some animal, maybe lamb?

No gagging allowed. Here in the South some folks eat chitlins. They are boiled or fried pig intestines.

So would you rather eat a kidney or an intestine? You must choose one.

steak and kidney pie is a thing in Australia too - I guess we have a lot of British origin in foods here too. Probably cow or lamb or pork kidneys - given they are most popular red meats here.
I don't eat them - but can't see a reason not to - if one is a meat eater, no ethical difference in eating kidneys vs other animal parts

I would choose intestines - saying that because I do eat sausages and isnt the casing made of intestines?

To me it doesn't have a thing to do with ethics. I just don't come from a family who eats kidney and intestines, or other animal parts like brains. OTOH, I used to love liver and thought nothing of it because I was accustomed to eating it.

I don't eat sausage very often, but yes, the casings are made from some animal product. So is jello.

yes that is what I was saying - I don't eat kidneys or any offal like liver brains tripe etc ( except the casing on sausages) - but ethically can see no difference between them and any other animal part. it isnt ethics for me either, just personal choice.
