I googled the question this morning and this seems to explain the

Thanks for that. I've bookmarked it. I'll take your word that it's a
good one since you raise and eat lamb. I will try it IF I ever find
this in a store but I'm doubtful.

One more thing....do you have a good recipe for a mint sauce for the
lamb? I'll even make a bit of that on the side to try. Just with a
bite or two to start with.
