: : Hey Chris,

: : Okay color me dumb here.  I thought the gizzard WAS the kidneys of the bird.  No?  I was talking about the same thing, but maybe thinking of it wrong.........

: : That kidney/intestine from whales concoction sounds purely Way Up North Native American.  I love to experiment, but there are SOME things I won't try.  

: : Worst thing I ever tried was camel.  The Saudis had it in some kind of stew when they invited me for dinner.  Luckily, they also had about four other main dishes served: a lamb stew, a chicken, a rice gumbo sorta thing, and a beef dish.  All very good.  The camel was dry as dust even in a stew and kinda stringy/rubbery.  No thank you.

: Hi Bill,
: Marcia gave you the straight scoop on turkey gizzards.  I'm with you- I like them.
: The kidney/intestine concoction was served at a whaling festival in Barrow.  They do not waste any of the whale.  Most of the other food served was excellent, even the fermented whale meat (although you have to watch out for botulism).
: I had camel and kangaroo in Australia a few years ago.  I thought it was pretty good.  Maybe your Saudis didn't know how to cook it for "Western" tastes.  But then the Aussies eat vegemite, which is probably the worst stuff I have ever tried to eat.
: Bon appetit!
