I have never cooked them, but James Joyce made them sound quite
tempting.

It's a pity his books were not more tempting:-)

However, this is a dish of kidneys served in a resto in Colmar, Alsace,
4 years ago, that was superb:

Rognons Dijonais (mustard sauce) is also delicious and I have also
cooked them Liègeoise style where you fry them briefly in butter with a
few crushed juniper berries, then flambé with gin.

Although I love oysters raw, stewed or fried oysters, I putting them
into S&KP escapes me.

S&P pie or pudding are delicious enough but in C19 England, oysters were
poor people's food so would have been added to pad out the recipe. It
doesn't look right to me either but it's one of those "Don't knock it
until you've tried it" things:-)

Here is the pudding version:
