Ulysses; Grilled Kidneys Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencod’s roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine. Mmmm - sounds yummy. Edited by dai Cottomy, Dec 29 2017, 01:56 PM.
