Haven't seen one in ages! Are you saying, for some reason, that they have become unavailable?
Will have to ask my butcher. It was always a bonus to get one, rather like a double yolker, or the occasional blue egg from my "egg woman" (from her hens that is)! |

I wonder if you can get kidney with a pork chop attached!

I had a box of 6 double yolkers.Before I had a chance to calculate the odds of this happening someone told me that the doubles are taken to one side and used in the catering industry.So ,if you find that the first egg in a box is a double make sure you have a decent wager on the rest of the box being doubles.
No kidney in the pork chop,probably due to the EU or health and safety.What a shame. |

i don't tend to see hearts in the supermarket anymore. a lamb's heart full of stuffing was lovely.

it's illegal now to sell a pork chop with the kidney because of the price difference and yes it was an EU directive. My butcher still will though if you ask him and he also sells heart as my dogs have it.

UKIP should add,"Pork chops with kidneys for all",to their manifesto.That would cattle the tories.

i don't think it's illegal because of the price difference, i think it's something to do with a directive about not allowing meat to be contaminated by offal.
but as was stated an indipendent butcher will still cut you some as long as you don't look like the council food inspector, hardly surprising as the kidney is cheaper than the chop. |

By:
Never knew there was such a thing
 How do you cook them and are they better for some reason than a separate chop and kiddly ? |

By:
I remember those ..they were offally good .....ill get me coat

The inspector has to remove the suet from the kidney and pull it away from the spine, to inspect it for disease, so the carcass now comes back from the abbatoir with the kidney barely attached. You have to get it separately now,unless you hava local butcher on request.
CJD business changed the rules of butchery with meat & offal sold together |
