Ask Andy
This week’s question comes courtesy of Eleni, who asks:
Hannibal Lecter enjoyed human kidneys w/ a side of lima beans and a glass of Chianti. Do you enjoy a similar dish?
Actually, I’ve never been much of a fan of legumes, though they are a good source of fiber. Give me a good arugula salad with sliced pears and asiago cheese. And I’m more of a rib man myself. Personally, I would pair a nice Bordeaux when serving internal organs. Chianti goes better with Breather bolognese, but to each his own.
Thanks for the question.

I hate to be a stickler, but it was liver and fava beans, not kidneys and limas.

Yes, actually, I was aware of the discrepancy, but didn’t want to correct the question. Which is why I stuck with the generic “legumes” and “internal organs.” But thanks for being cannibal-aware.
