    One thing that goes unsaid in this video is that the "scent" of the kidneys leaves no doubt about their origin. For that reason, acidic sauces are always popular, even, dare I say, required. I usually choose a mustard sauce. Jacques uses tomato here, which is also really good. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I do think people should know what they're getting into if they try this dish.

    In other recipes for kidneys i've read, there's always a soaking step involved, usually after removing the sinewy insides. This is ostensibly to cut down on a urine smell that they make when you cook them. Jacques doesn't mention that here. Is it not needed? or is that just folklore? or is it just what one gets for a quick evening meal of kidneys?
