kidneys of death
i am vegetarian purely and simply because i've never liked the texture or taste of meat. i have no principles - i'm a lawyer ffs - if i liked it, i'd eat it. but i actually hate it.

the worst of the worst has got to be kidneys. or maybe liver. i could retch just thinking about the taste, and it must be 18 years since i had any in my mouth. liver and kidneys filter shit out of an animal . that shit has coursed through those organs for the length of the animal's short-assed life. why the hell would you want to eat that? why would you want to eat an ORGAN? ugh.

so imagine my horror one day when i leaned over to steal a contraband, delicious, hot, tasty mushroom from my brother's slice of steak and mushroom pie, which he had put on the table but then naively turned his back for a second...

... only to find my mouth full of mushy, squishy kidney death and my brothers pissing themselves at me. bastards, they'd told me it was steak and mushroom pie on purpose.

mind you, they still compete every time we're all together to see who can get me to eat meat without noticing it. yeah, because i'm not going to notice a slab of bacon swimming in my diet coke, am i?

they are 37 and 29...

hell's veg
But don'r vegetables suck up all the 'nutrients' in the soil, including fertiliser, polluted rain and precipitates from nearby roads? Your carrot has more shit in it - literally - than a kidney.

If someone
had done that to me while I was vege I would have puked on them, plain and simple. I must admit, though now being thoroughly omnivorous, the idea of eating liver or kidney does turn me off.

Gotta agree here....
While I'm firmly a believer that meat should be consumed at every opportunity (for every animal you don’t eat, I’ll eat three etc)

I must say that I have absolutely no idea why anyone would want to eat liver, Kidney is ok (Steak and kidney pudding = win) but liver.... It just tastes of chalk, it has a chalky texture and is genuinely nasty.

I, too, hate offal
Although I ain't veggie.

However, pate is fabulous, and therefore there is something good about liver.

I'm partial to a bit of black pudding as well

im with FS
Root vegetables seive out the crap from soil. Which has cow crap splattered all over it.

Kidneys - yes arent the nicest but as with most things complement other things better. Like steak and kidney pie.

Ive tried cow stomach - which really isnt much better.

Foie Gras
One of the most delicious (if hard-to-defend) fruits of the meat tree.

Simply delicious.

I love kidney!
In fact, all offal. It's offaly good (fnarr). Kidneys, liver, heart, sweetbreads - they're all beautiful, cooked in the right way.

Haven't had the chance to try brain yet, but I'm sure I will soon.
