Do Dingos have particularly nasty kidneys?

Douglas Adams is dead so we can't ask.

No need to ask, fortunatelt he wrote a book or two where he
was explicit about the fact they were "*fetid* dingo's kidneys".

In which case, they must have been pretty nasty.

Without checking on Google, IIRC dogs' kidneys are toxic to humans - as
(I believe) was found out by some polar explorers who had to eat their
huskies.

It wasn't the kidneys that poisoned them, it was the liver which had a
toxic level of Vitamin A.

Actually, I did wonder afterwards whether I had remembered the wrong bit
of dog. Close, I suppose, but no cigar.
