I don't think there should be US states... that's a major problem with
the US.

Whether it is right for the US states to be under one government, each one
of you, in every state, gets to vote for that government. That is the
problem with the EU. That gov is not elected.

They have set themselves adrift. Let's wave while we can still see
them

When my mom was a kid she said they ate mutton a good bit.

lol although my grandmother used to do a boiled leg 'o mutton with
caper sauce that was very palatable. There is a farmer up in the
valley who sells mutton, but all the rest is lovely lamb now.

I have her beaten - I am both a great knitter and a lamb eater, in
fact, these days I eat more lamb than beef. Likely if the US keeps
increasing duties on Canadian lumber (to pay for that wall?) I shall
not eat beef unless I know I have purchased local and it's not
imported.

Nearly every time someone says they don't like lamb, someone else says
they have never had it cooked properly. People have different taste,
you know? I don't like lamb. I've had it cooked numerous different
ways: tiny chops grilled and served rare, stew, roast. The only way
I can take it is spiced so much you can't tell what it is.

They live on the dark side of the harbour in Dartmouth. Their garden
backs on to some woods and my SIL reckons a man down the road actually
released some a few years back.

While watching the pheasants two cardinals flew in the feeder, so
quite a nice view.

Why introduce a foreign "food" bird in the wild in your country if you
already have factories full of chickens?

They certainly didn't have factories full of chickens when pheasant
were introduced to Halifax and area!

I'm not very good at Canadian topology. For most of my life, I thought
Niagara was in Africa.

Next thing you know, there will probably be factories full of
pheasants.

Most people seem to either love it or hate it. My son in one of those
who is in between. He is not crazy about it but will eat it. He used
to endure roast leg of lamb, but he looked forward to the lamb curry I
make with the leftovers.

Such a colourful thought

Up in the valley there are quite a few chicken farms, however they
proved to be saviours of bald eagles. The farmers chucked out the
guts and the eagles feasted and grew in numbers. Quite a sight to be
there at the right time, one spot there is a huge old chestnut tree
and of course no leaves in winter and you can see 80 + eagles waiting
for the farmer, they sit on the branches and make me think of candles.

theres a nice video of them in that link.

I disliked lamb for years until I ate Canadian grown lamb. Marvelous taste
but not cheap. I presume American grown lamb to be as good unlike imported
NZ and Australian lamb that has that lanolin taste.
