In reply to Rand Wheeler. Actually they don't if prepared the correct way. My mother used to take the tubules out and then soak them in milk.

Kidneys taste offal.

Love this article! Being Eastern European, my mother cooked the family, not only liver and onions (yum!), but we had chicken heart, liver and gizzards. She would put the gizzards and liver in the stuffing for Thanksgiving. Simply delicious! She also made liver dumplings! Fantastic in her chicken soup. We also ate beef kidneys. Unfortunately my husband was never brought up with eating these parts and, if I make something with chicken hearts, liver or gizzards, I have to eat it myself, but that’s no problem. I tell him he doesn’t know what he’s missing!

I’ve enjoyed delicious dishes: sweetbreads, heart kabobs, lingua tacos or pickled tongue sandwich meat. Liver and onions, chopped liver spread. Kishka! Menudo! so many good things. But why do we call it “offal”? It sounds too much like “awful”!
