Any fans of the food "Lamb"?

Me, I find it a little rubbery. May have been shoddily prepared , though.

1. Well, first of all,

I have to pretend it's not a baby sheep so I don't feel sorry for it when I eat it.

Once I've managed to do that, look out!

This is something that takes me back to childhood. We would have leg of lamb that cooked for hours.

In our back yard, we had fresh mint and so my Mom would make the most delicious (forget about store-bought) mint jelly to go with the succulent, seasoned and most juicy lamb! mmmmmmm

2. for the record

3. what's mutton?

I thought it was just another word for lamb, but I've never really heard it used.

9. Mutton, I thought, is an older animal

past is productive breeding or shearing age.

It is something best stewed, braised, or whatever you would do with say brisket. It is also likely to have a stronger flavor.

I wish I could get somebody in my family to like lamb, as my brother-in-law's sister in law raise sheep less than 100 miles from here, and I could get *really* fresh leg of lamb anytime I wanted.

But nobody in my house wants to have anything to do with eating characters from nursery rhymes, which is simply silly. What about the cow who jumped over the moon?

7. it shouldn't be cooked past medium

it may have been overcooked

I like lamb--properly prepared, it's one of the best meats

10. Leg of lamb

be sure to remove the cull from the lamb, that is the bluish transluscent "skin". Stud the lamb with little pieces of garlic clove, place strips of uncooked bacon over the lamb add a little salt and pepper.

Cook until rare - about 135F inside and allow to "rest".

That's the best roast in the world.

11. Never had it guess I would try it

12. Leg O' Lamb's OK...

garlic, rosemary and roasted properly. Shouldn't be rubbery. The Greek diners around here have it all the time.

Gyros, too. Yummmm! And lamb shishkabob with tahina sauce. Food of the gods.

Grilled chops, though are my favorite at home. Loin chops are stupid expensive so I get the blade chops when they're on sale. Yeah, they can seem rubbery sometimes, but so can some grilled beef.

Lamb stew is #2. Actually, I like it better than the chops, but it's a PITA to make stews. If shanks and stew meat are on sale it's worth it, though.

15. Gyros!!

Love them!!! :9 Damn, now I want one, not the chicken I'm having for lunch...... yet again.

13. Mutton is goat!

and quite yummy too if you get a good cut and prepare it right. Lamb is good too. Look for a muslim or jewish butcher to hook you up right. They know what's up.

on edit: oops, replied to wrong post!

[midnight armadillo]

14. Mutton is adult sheep

Goat is goat meat :-)

I only had goat once at an Indian restaurant. The pieces were small, on the bone, and kinda fatty. I'd try it again though, anything to avoid industrial raised beef.

16. If that is true than I have been lied to my whole life

cause my family often eats goat and lamb because we're Indian and its so damn tasty. If it was loaded with fat then you got a cheap cut my friend. It's hard to find an old lean goat but the muslims and jews know how to get it.

Damn, all this time they told me mutton was goat!
