Kidney
The kidneys are bean-shaped excretory organs in vertebrates. Part of the urinary system, the kidneys filter wastes (especially urea) from the blood and excrete them, along with water, as urine. The medical field that studies the kidneys and diseases affecting the kidney is called nephrology, from the Greek name for the kidney; the adjective meaning "kidney-related" is renal, from the Latin.

The Lost Chronicles: Cake
You all probably know that I am more of a pie man than I am a cake man. A good, hearty steak and kidney does more for me than a nice, fluffy sponge, I must admit.

All this mention of cake is down to the battenberg-shirted ones down the road having theirs and eating it.
