Title: Weird smelling kidney?
Post by: boxcarguy07 on November 18, 2008, 08:00:10 am
Alright guys, what do you think about this...

The other day I defrosted a bison kidney. I opened up the package, and the kidney smelled very strange.
I've had beef kidney and lamb kidney before, and neither of those had this kind of odor.
It kind of smelled "chemically".

I contacted the place that I get it from, and they assured me that not only are the bison 100% grass fed, but that the organs are handled in a completely natural way. They are removed from the animal, inspected, and then directly sealed in the package. They are not washed in any chemicals whatsoever.
They recommended that I open the other kidney and see if it smells the same.

So I just now opened up the other kidney, and this one also smells strange.

I'd hate to waste it, but what do you guys think? Knowing that it is grass-fed and handled naturally, would you eat it?
Or does anyone get kidneys that also have a strange smell to them?

My personal rule of thumb with food is if it smells bad or tastes bad, I don't eat it.  You could always taste a bit of it and observe.

The way kidney normally smells is strange to me so I can't imagine. And by strange you mean in a bad way correct?
