I remember the first time I ever ate the rognons de veau au sauce moutarde. It was back in the days when I would train with L'Equipe de Voltige; at a stage in Blois I worked particularly hard one day on negative flicking and was advised by my teammates at dinner that to replace lost energy, the kidneys were more or less essential.

My life may be said to have truly started when I first tasted the rognons.
