I don't know why it does what it does. But, it does, and has since I tried gin
the first time - and that was a fairly small sip ... not even a glug. The smell
of gin always reminded me of Rose Brilliantine hair grease ... something that
very few here are old enough to remember.

I'll file that away for future reference. Last time I triggered my gag reflex
was when I had the kidney stone - and I don't think that would have helped.

      Title: Steak & Kidney Pudding
 Categories: Beef, Offal, Pastry, Puddings, Herbs
      Yield: 8 servings

      1    Beef kidney
      4 tb Shortening
      2 lg Onions; chopped
      2 lb Round steak; cubed
  1 1/2 tb Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 ts (ea) Salt & pepper
      2 tb Butter; softened
      2 tb Flour
      2 tb Parsley; minced
      1 ts Rosemary
      1 ts Oregano

MMMMM--------------------------PASTRY-------------------------------
      1 c  + 2 ts Flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/3 c  Shortening
      2 tb Cold water
 
  Wash the kidney, remove membranes and fat, and cut kidney in
  1" cubes. Cube the steak into 1" cubes. Melt the shortening
  in a heavy pot. Add the onions and cook, stirring often,
  until well browned. Add the steak and kidneys. 

  When the meat is browned on all sides, pour on 2 cups of
  boiling water, Worcester, salt, and pepper. Cove and cook
  over a very low heat for 1 1/2 hours, or until the steak is
  tender. 

  Preheat the oven to 400øF. 

  Blend the butter with the flour to make a beurre manie. Drop
  small pellets of this paste into the sauce and stir to
  thicken it. Put meat and sauce into a deep pie plate and
  sprinkle with parsley. If you wish to use a pastry topping,
  roll out the dough and cover the pie plate. Slash the top,
  crimp the edges, and bake about 30 minutes, or until well
  browned.
   
  Pastry: Mix the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening with a
  pastry blender. Combine lightly only until the mixture
  resembles coarse meal or very tine peas; its texture will
  not be uniform but will contain crumbs and small bits and
  pieces. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a tablespoon
  at a time, and mix lightly with a fork, using only enough
  water so that the pastry will hold together when pressed
  gently into a ball.
