Excuse me? What does my godson, Stewart, have to do with boiled eggs? He likes Marmite on his toast though!

Yes, Sara, just like chicken pot pie, but with steak. And yes, I mean the water filtration type of kidneys. Loads of folk don't like the thought of offal. Steak pie on it's own is perfectly acceptable without the kidneys.

You asked it we knew Stew....and for a second there I thought we were headed into a cannibalism thread!

I have no idea how this thread ending up here after starting nicely but yes- the German, French AND Italian cuisine is full of stuff like kidneys, tripes, heads etc.

Regarding all this I would qualify as an American because I never ate it, even at a child. In Paris there used to be butcher shops that had nothing but that stuff (entrailles it's called, that means guts) and I couldn't even go along them as I couldn't stand the smell.

However, being an advocate of cultural relativity: in all poor cultures, meat is not wasted the way we do it only eating ribs and fillets and converting the rest to cat food
