Last night before dinner I passed by Farmer’s Market to buy some goat kidneys my 6 year old boy has been requesting for quite some time. I was lucky to chance upon the goat seller that did have quite a lot of it. I got more than 1 kilo of goat kidneys at only P 60 / kilo. How cheap!
Back at home we prepared the grill so that the kidneys could be heated for a couple of seconds for the germs and for my wife’s sanity as this was our children’s dinner. She’d rather have none of it.
While slicing up the kidneys thinly I had the chance to eat them raw. Goat kidneys were very tender. I just removed the coating on the kidneys and bite and hardly need to chew. But chewing brings out the flavor. Very good! Taste like nothing I’ve ever tasted, tastes like goat kidney. I must tell you that when I eat raw animal foods I use zero condiments.
Now I know why my boy has been requesting goat kidneys, they taste great.
Goat kidneys actually tasted better fully raw than when seared / heated.
I had a great dinner last night. Along with the goat kidneys I got a small slice of goat liver. And I added a few strips of prime raw live yellowish beef fat. I was stuffed but happy.
My 83 year old grandmother was with us for dinner and I gave her some fully grilled kidneys and liver which she ate and enjoyed. We did not tell her it was goat. I did not do the cooking since my standards of cooking / heating have changed so much.
My wife grilled some of my prime tender beef to well done and I just tasted it, it was awful. My taste buds are adjusting.
Medicinal uses of raw kidneys? Some healers say like heals like so if you have kidney problems, eat kidneys. If you have liver problems such as cancer, eat liver. Raw is key.
