Who eats lamb?

The Kamado is smoking the leg went on @11:00. What a beautiful day here by the receded lake in central Texas.

My wife loves it. I am OK with it. If smoked or cooked over wood its great. Oven roasted it seems a little gamey to me.

Not a big fan. I was stationed in Iceland for three years. The two primary meat sources were lamb and fish. I loved the fish but lamb hot dogs and hamburgers did not do much for me. We also were able to buy fresh whale meat. Not a fan of that either.

Lamb seems to be like cilantro. You either like it or you don’t. Wife’s family grew up on it. She won’t eat it and neither will I. I tried to like it, but just not a fan. Went over to in-laws one year for Easter. BIL & SIL had a smoker going with a rotisserie turning. Opened the lid and it looked like a skinned lab on the spit. It was lamb.

I love lamb, not mutton.

As kids, we used to turn the spitted lambs over coals on Greek Easter. Good times, great memories!

 

[Bozz10mm]

Nope.

1 hour in and I just flipped it over. My marinate is roasted garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, cilantro, white onion salt & pepper.

I made scratch hummus & tabouli to go with it. Most people I know won’t eat it. My dad hated it, only because he was served mutton during WWII.

I don’t understand people who like venison, but won’t eat lamb. I do my lamb as I do venison. I like it rare. Wish I had some nan bread to go with it.

I love lamb, with Croswell Mint Sauce.

Lots of Greeks where I grew up. Easter lamb roast were very popular. First eye ball I ever ate was lamb. I really like when the old guys broke out the oozo.

I pulled it off at 135 degrees, it’s resting now. The aroma coming off it is unbelievable.

I absolutely LOVE LAMB!

My wife and I eat it once and sometimes twice a week.

Someone mentioned they don't like it because it's gamey.

We like it 'because' it's gamey.

That looks tasty! Did you make slits in the exterior and insert garlic cloves? If not, try that next time; the garlic flavor seeps into the meat and makes every bite delectable.

A rite of passage was when we were allowed to join the men to drink ouzo, at around thirteen. I still hoist a few when we cook our lamb.

Never tried it and don't expect to.

The lamb has to be young, six months or less, so it does not get that strong mutton flavor.

A fair introduction to good lamb is to order Luckenbach (TX) "lollipops" in a good restaurant.

Greek. Ya, that’s what my wife is. Have to stand back when MIL talks, otherwise I might get an accidental poke in the eye or hit on the head when she gets really excited. Hands and arms all over the place lol..

Nothing I loved more then when lamb rack got marked down at work. I wish I had the Kamado back then. Bobo the Bulldog and me ate many a rack together

Who do you think taught Italians how to talk with their hands?

Scratch hummus

Had some lamb last night....very good!

Yes; leg of lamb (remove the gland(s); most people don't seem to know that), lamp chops, big lamb chops...

A wannabe chef was proud of his leg of lamb. He dined (yes, leg of lamb) with us one evening and wanted all of the leftovers.
