I'm afraid I also adore raw lambs' liver and kidneys. I've eaten them for years, but my domineering sis has finally vetoed it. She says I'll become infested with flukes (or some such). She's always harping on like the Voice of Doom. She's says I should 'worm' my poor husband when he gets back from Cote d'Ivoire after a 4 week stay with his parents in August! They don't seem to have any kind of pies at all in W Africa. (not any that I've come across anyway) I wonder if it's because their food is cooked in pots boiling on charcoal fires, or grilled over the fires. Not easy to do pastry pies without a proper oven. Pity, because flour is relatively cheap, cheaper than rice.
