Growing up we had it a couple times a year. Always with mint jelly.

yeah, but did you ever eat lamb?

We have lamb about once every two weeks. We would have it more often, if it were cheaper. But I've developed some good reasonably fast techniques for lamb shoulder chops that may increase our lamb-frequency...

This is a good thread to dig out this old pic again. I think some have seen it before.

I like fresh lamb.

Yumm! you could feed a pretty big crowd with that heap!

My favorite lamb is at an Indian place in Houston called Nirvana, with apricot. Although a good kebab is a close second.

I have, at times, believed lamb to be the tastiest meat of all. But I've never cooked it, don't know how. Don't know where to buy it.

I totally forgot, we eat lamb all the time in gyros at our local Greek place. I didn't think about it because it's the only meat option available there, so you don't order "lamb," you just order a "gyro" or a "dinner plate" or whatever.

She didn't disbelive it, just found it hard to believe, I suspect because they're cute and fluffy. You really have to look to find it in the supermarkets here, so no in-your-face evidence.

Plenty of people don't really believe Brits eat kidneys, liver and the like on a regular basis. When I was a kid I assumed it was an old wives' tale that the French ate horses, frogs and snails......

It's as easy to assume things that seem unlikely are old wives tales as it it to believe things that used to be true still are, especially when they happen in a different part of the world/don't happen in your part of the world.

Greek shish-kabob. Mmmm. If anyone's interested, I'll post the recipe.

We have these with a BBQ quite often. in ours we have really only three main ingredients. cubed lamb, haloumi cheese and sundried (or semi sundried) tomatoes. Squeaze a bit of lemon over the top, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsely and a bit of salt and pepper.

Yummo! Everyone loves them.

We prefer doner kebabs

Huh, here I thought lamb chops could be found in any grocery store. I've only cooked lamb chops myself, but it seems like lamb is available everywhere around here, in all kinds of cuisines.

But I haven't had mutton since I was a kid, when my grandfather would butcher a sheep for special occasions.

True enough, but I guess at least wrt people in other countries eating different animals, it never occurred to me to doubt it. Maybe I'm just too gullible......

I've had roast lamb a few times - loved it. It is very expensive around here though and the roast aren't very big, so either have alot of extras or buy 2.
