When I was young kidneys was a dish that our family ate fairly often.  Tdue to the fact that my
father liked them a lot.  I don't remember any other family having them but one eats what was common to us. I do remember a slight urine smell before my mother washed them.  After they were washed my mother cut any fat around them.  One may not believe it but I still like them today! Veal kidneys are more mild and more tender so they would better.
