Well I've tried diligently to introduce sheep meat to our diet - I've made
leg of lamb, lamb chops, rack of lamb, lamb curry, you name it. But my
conclusion is that meat from the pig and the cow are easier to prepare and
to cook and generally give better results. Soooooo................Good bye

What have you done wrong? I find lamb no more work to prepare than beef or
pork and usually get excellent results. Leg of lamb is my favourite cut of
meat for roasting, and I would rather have grilled lamb loin chops than a
steak any day.

I've been feeling the same way. I always liked lamb but hadn't seen any in
the stores lately. So I bought some from a local organic farmer. It's fatty,
tastes unpleasant, and stinks up the house when I cook it. But I remember
Mom once saying that when she was a kid and WWII rationing was going on, one
of the neighbors used to stink up the whole neighborhood cooking mutton. Now
I wonder if I bought rather elderly lamb and it really makes that much
difference. Does anyone here know how to tell if what's for sale is lamb or
mutton?

Just a case of chacun a son gout, I think. From now on I'm going to have
lamb only at restaurants where I know the chef to be reliable. At home,
it's gonna be beef and pork.

Lamb is smaller and lighter in colour. When cooked lamb is "sweeter" and
less gamey, and more tender than mutton. Lamb is good prepared in almost
any way including roasting and grilling (depending on cut) whereas older
beasts are better stewed to tenderise them. The strong flavour of older
sheep meats may require special attention and be less attractive to those
who are used to more bland meats.

Mutton is not inedible unless you treat it like it was lamb. Would you say
shin of beef or chuck steak was inedible just because it is a little chewy
when treated like eye fillet?

It is quite possible for an unscrupulous retailer to sell, or attempt to
sell, more aged sheep as lamb. In some places lamb meat is marked at the
abattoir specifically to try to prevent this substiution. However this is
generally to prevent hogget (which might be called two-tooth) being confused
with lamb not the older mutton, because as you infer mutton is fairly
obviously different once you have seen them both.

Be careful... people can actually be allergic to lamb! If
they aren't allergic, it can be the last red meat that "old

You're cooking it (fatty meat) with the heat too high,
that's why it stinks.

If you're in the US, we have "Truth in Labeling" here. If
you're not, you're at the whim of your country's laws.

As far as lamb is concerned, I used to hear that any lamb
over 6 months had a mutton flavor, then I heard that there
was a window in the first year where they tasted funny...
after that they tasted fine. Now, I don't know what to
believe.

All I know is that there IS a difference between grass and
grain fed AND that every New Zealand/Australian lamb I've
ever tried tasted like mutton... until last year.

To each his own. I don't see how lamb is any more difficult or easier to
cook than any other meat. Lamb chops are one of my favorites and they are
incredibly easy to prepare in a variety of different ways. I like to sprinkle
Penzy's lamb seasoning blend on lamb chops and pop them under a broiler. What's
difficult about that?

Nothing at all in my book (apart from getting hold of Penzey's spices in
Ireland - I sometimes use Schwarz Lamb Seasoning mix on a joint or chops).
Lamb is one of my favourite foods, and living in the west of Ireland, I'm
surrounded by it - on the hoof and in the shops. Right now we're getting the
very early spring lambs - so tender they melt in the mouth - and nothing
strong about the taste at all. I've got four lamb shanks sitting in the
fridge waiting to be braised in some Guinness tomorrow night - but my
favourite, Greek inspired, way of eating lamb is as follows:

Get a leg joint, and rub half a garlic clove all over it. Sprinkle on some
powdered cinnamon, and sit it on top of some sprigs of fresh mint in a
roasting dish, over which you've laid a large piece of foil (big enough to
bring up and over the lamb, with a seal at the top). Squish a couple more
garlic cloves, and press on to the outside of the lamb. Squeeze the juice of
a lemon over, then drizzle on some EVOO. Put sprigs of fresh oregano on each
side of the joint, and pop some on top. Bring the sides of the foil up, and
turn over a few times to seal (so the meat is totally enclosed). Put into a
medium oven, and cook until the meat is falling off the bone. Then open the
foil up, fold it back, and return the dish to the oven for a further 20 - 30
minutes, until the lamb browns nicely. Best eaten with freshly made bread,
using fingers.

I like lamb cutlets pink, but there's a lot to be said for really well done
lamb, too (much more than can be said for well done beef, which is an
abomination ). If I could choose only one meat to eat, it'd be lamb - but
from what I can tell, lamb in the US is a bit different from what I'm used
to. I like mutton, too, but it's hard to get hold of. I think of it as a
'gamey' meat - probably a bit of an acquired taste - it stands up to robust
sauces very well - especially Cumberland sauce, I find.

Are there any areas of the US where lamb is common? I've got the impression
from this NG that it's a bit of a rarity there, and expensive when you can
find it - is this right?

I live in Australia and love lamb as well as other red meats. I do
agree that lamb in the US of A is different because alot of it is
imported whereas in Ireland and Oz we have it on our doorstep.
I'm going to try your recipe of lamb in the foil just as soon as I can
procure a leg of baa lamb. It sounds great. Like a pork roast with
the meat falling off the bone, sweet and tender. Greek lamb dishes
are wonderful - now there's a nation that lives off the sheep's back!
I think your recipe is interesting because it uses mint and oregano
rather than rosemary which I tend to use all the time.
I'm visiting the States next month but I'll stick to beef and pork!

That's a good enough reason. Eating would be boring if
everything tasted the same.

Nothing at all wrong with the Welsh! It's just my name is of Welsh
origin but my dear mother, 86 and not yet departed, bless her, is of
Scottish origin but just liked the name when my twin sister and I
entered this world (twin has a good English name of Pamela, standard
for era circa early 1950's...).
I visited Wales in my early 20's and the good folk couldn't believe I
didn't have Welsh ancestory!.
I only mentioned all this because the poster I responded to lives in
Ireland. I have found on many trips to the US of A that the name
Bronwyn is unknown to the folk there except for regions around Boston
and others are not even sure of the gender until we meet. Anyway, we
digress off the subject of lamb but what the heck!! <grin>

Which means, all a butcher in the US has to do in order to sell mutton
and call it lamb is to get the USDA to agree that mutton is lamb.

In the US, meat from a sheep less than one year old at slaughter is
"lamb", even though meat from a sheep approaching one year looks,
smells, cuts, and tastes exactly like mutton.

Lamb is probably our favorite protein. We don't have it nearly as
often as we would like. It has become tradition for me to serve it on
Easter. Every year, I find a different way to cook it. This year, I am
going to use a Penzey's recipe. It will be seasoned with garlic (of
course) and the Bavarian Seasoning mix. I will serve it with roasted
new potatoes and a salad. We will drink a Merlot with it. Dessert will
be a cake in the shape of an Easter Egg and suitablely decorated.

That sounds so good -- crispy on the outside, still moist and tender
on the indide. Also the technique sounds like it would work well with
garlic, coriander and cumin.

Especially lamb shoulder chops. They pretty much need to be well done
or nearly so. And grilled lamb shoulder chops have a totally
diffferent taste and texture from lamb loin or rib chops or leg of
lamb. I like rubbed with a broken garlic cove before grilling, and
served with a little ketchup (or, shudder, curry ketchup).

It's common in my neighborhood in Chicago. Goat is also pretty
available in my hood. But my neighborhood has a large concentration of
Greeks, Arabs, Pakistanis and Indians. It's harder to find lamb loin
than leg, shoulder and shanks.

I have a section of lamb spare ribs, I guess that's the best way to
call them, in my freezer. They're great braised with tomato sauce,
chopped onion, garlic and olive oil, and when that's almost tender
some okra and baby eggplant (the stores label them "Indian eggplant"
added and braised until all is very tender.

Also, in my neighborhood, around or just after Easter (Orthodox
Easter) lamb heads and sweetbreads become available. My wife, who is
Bulgarian and has worked in Greek restaurants in the US and in Cyprus,
tells me that "sweetbreads" is a euphemism, and they are, in
actuality, balls. The Greek words -- glykadaki and klitoraki -- sound
similar. I've had them in a restaurant breaded and fried and served
with a reduced red wine, tomato sauce, and cinnamon or allspice sauce.
Great stuff. You have to sop up any left over sauce and juices with
Greek bread.

Tongues and kidneys are probably available around Easter too, although
I've only seen the tongues, and I don't remember if it was soon after
Easter. Oh, the Arab butchers also sell an organ they call "sleen" or
"splean." I have no idea what it is.

A way of using the head that my wife showed me is -- cook the head in
water to cover (I would add aromatics and salt and pepper, but she
doesn't) until the meat is falling of the bone. Pull the meat from the
head, not using the brain and eyeballs or any other stuff that's not
plain lamb meat. Reduce the liquid to a flavorable broth. Mix the
liquid with the meat and enough rice to absorb the liquid. Coer and
bake until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Most (many?) supermarkets in Chicago sell lamb (at an exorbitant
price) -- most often rib chops and shoulder chops, occasionally a loin
section, mostly around the appropriate holidays the leg and shanks. I
hardly ever shop in the chain supermarkets except for exotic stuff
like kosher salt or orecchiette.

In most supermarkets in the Philadelphia area, good lamb is easy to find.
In some of the upscale supermarkets such as Whole Foods, one can also buy
New Zealand lamb. Not all cuts are available though. Typically, its easy to
find lamb chops (blade, shoulder, and loin) and lamb shanks. Other cuts require
a visit to a real butcher shop.
