Organ meats are just not as popular as they once were.

Granted, I am ancient, but among those meals my mother prepared were
liver (calf, beef, or chicken) tongue (either to be served cold and
sliced for sandwiches, or prepared like a braised brisket), lung
(cooked, then ground and mixed with other ingredients) and heart
(stuffed).

Hmm- she never made kidneys.
