Do You Like Lamb?

[Capt Lightning]

I like lamb. New Zealand lamb is OK, but Welsh or Scottish is better. Trouble is that it's expensive. I quite like mutton or hoggit too, but it's more difficult to get. I like most meat and fowl - especially game. We raise our own traditional breed pigs which taste much better than the commercially farmed supermarket stuff.

I had never heard of hogget before reading your post, Warrigal.

Now I wonder if that is where Farmer Hoggett got his name (in Babe).

My sister married a man whose last name is Mutton. :hatlaugh:

 

[RadishRose]

Yes I like lamb. It was always served while growing up, especially at Easter. I serve it occasionally as any other meat. We love lamb chops broiled with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a little salt, but a roasted leg stuck with slivers of garlic is wonderful too. No, to mint jellies for me.

We just had some really good oven grilled lamb chops last night, with broccoli crowns as a side dish. No mint or lemon for us.

We have a 3 day Greek festival called Taste of the Danforth, when restaurants on the strip have sampling booths of food which they cook then and there - Souvlaki and all manner of their favorite dishes, attracting thousands of visitors thousands to this well-known neighborhood.

I forego the meat dishes but really enjoy their Spanakopitas, just spinach and feta cheese in a fillo pastry. Delish.

I love spinach pie with feta cheese!

I love lamb in all it's possible forms. Roast, casseroled, chops and my local Indian takeaways lamb tikka masala. And now, st 4.00 I'm starving!

 

[IKE]

No, and do not like the smell of it cooking either.

Agree.

Lamb has got so pricey in the supermarkets even though it's "New Zealand" made, I don't buy it so often like I used to , but lamb, mint sauce, roast veges, yum.

Now you've made my mouth water for spanakopita. I may have to take a drive to Vic. Pk. and Sheppard to Athens Bakery

Pinky, I just love Athens Bakery. I know the one on the Danforth at Logan. Enjoy yours!

I must be getting hungry since I keep thinking about food. I love lamb and New Zealand Lamb has to be the best lamb of all. Lamb Chops----Roast Lamb---with mint sauce and all the trimmings is hard to beat---Shish Kabob with Rice Pilaf. The New Zealand lamb that I buy here in the states is much more expensive than domestic lamb, but well worth the price difference.

I love lamb, prefer it to beef. I really enjoy Asian cuisine , especially Indian, and one of my favorite dishes is lamb curry.

 

[Shalimar]

I don't eat lamb, but I love curry. Made shrimp/cashew/mango curry for supper. Mmmmm. On one of the Gulf Islands, near where I live, Saltspring by name, they "grow" the Queen's lamb. She loves it apparently.

Agree.

Agree. I don't care for lamb, and don't like the smell of it cooking.

I cooked lamb chops with ratatouille and couscous for dinner this evening. Our friends who keep pigs are expanding into keeping lambs. By selecting the breed, they say its the cheapest way to keep the grass cut and when they are older, the sheep will go to auction - hopefully for a profit. I expect they will keep a few sheep for meat.

Good morning to all- Lamb is the best grilling meat in my opinion. We've raised sheep in the past, and fresh home-raised lamb is wonderful stuff.
It doesn't need a lot of treatment on the grill- just toss it on the grill and don't let it burn.

Sheep and hogs are good complimentary animals to raise- they eat different stuff and seem to tolerate each other well.

cooking pork ribs right now on the Big Green Egg- It's good being a omnivore with carnivore tendencies

Good day to all- Ed

Love lamb, although the trend seems to be lamb so mild, it's hard to tell from beef. We prefer the gamier lamb. Even better than lamb is goat, though. Our favorite Nepalese restaurant makes a dry-fried curried goat that my DH is almost addicted to. At least once a month we have to go: one dish to eat at the table and a second for take-out to bring home!

Stop, stop, I have major munchies now I mentioned enjoying lamb korma. But like giving up pig, I want to give up lamb too. My gradual shift off meat is starting with the cute animals. There was a petting zoo at the fair last week. No more lamb for me...I'm sure they'd have no problem substituting tofu in the korma.

I eat mostly chicken and fish nowdays, partly for health reasons and partly (probably mostly) because the price of red meat has gone up so.
