Yeah the block of feta in brine is key because you can actually spread it a little

What if I’ve only had precrumbled supermarket feta? And I really like it? Shouldn’t I just keep eating that so I can never know any better?
― Jeff, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
yep. Prolly.

a slice of feta on a lamb burger with red onion seems pretty simple but it's always extremely good.

Controp? I hate lamb. I mean OK I haven't eaten meat in over 20 years but when I did I hated lamb so much.

I thought I hated lamb because of the lanolin grease smell, and we never had it at home. HOWEVER a decent doner kebab (not the elephant leg thing) is a thing of joy, and kofte are maybe even better.

lamb is ok but not that great and def not worth the extra time/expense of finding and buying it over other meats

it's a restaurant meat
i love meat but lamb is not something i really enjoy
― F# A# (∞), Thursday, 1 March 2018 19:05 (six years ago) link
my family never had lamb, at all, and having it as an adult at curry places and when my college friend brought lamburgers was revelatory
― mh, Thursday, 1 March 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
not into lamb either
go to a good market and buy a block floating in brine
yes!!!

Americans don’t really eat lamb (I cannot remember ever having any before moving to London - my mom loathes lamb, mutton, or any meat that tastes gamey).
― kim jong deal (suzy), Thursday, 1 March 2018 19:55 (six years ago) link
Lamb is a great meat, it's a bit of a local delicacy tho
Well roasted leg of lamb is prob my fave meal
Mutton and lamb cooked badly definitely has a very unpleasant heaviness tho

bold take: lamb is good not bad
― mark s, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:00 (six years ago) link
I didn’t understand lamb-hate til I tried American lamb - it’s fucking gross and tastes like halfway between mutton and hogget
New Zealand lamb is delicious- it’s not gamey at all, doesn’t smell weird and is very mild in flavor. Probs the only food I could eat every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.

i grew up in CT eating lamb regularly maybe monthly. remember neighbor buddy coming over and first just "ugh, what is that smell and why would you eat it?" and later just "ugh." i like lamb, hate mint jelly tho, made me a fam outlier.

I rarely crave lamb or goat, but can find them readily at Middle Eastern places hereabouts as well as fancy places.
― Wyld Scalyns (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link
quality is pretty variable i guess. i would like to have a butterflied leg of lamb grilled even now tbh.
― Hunt3r, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link
I need to try goat again. My coworker has been having goat curry, kind of envious
― mh, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:04 (six years ago) link
I love all meat. But I basically keep pescatarian at home and only eat meat when I travel or someone is cooking for me. I figure it's a good trade off. People need to eat less meat in general.
― Yerac, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:06 (six years ago) link
i only eat lamb at indian restaurants and it is always good. had some last week. lamb curry. so good.

xp now we're just saying sensible opinions

there's a place near me that makes super spicy nine alarm goat curry (from some very hot and humid part of india, madras or bengal maybe?) that is amazing
― the late great, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:07 (six years ago) link
I'd be all about that
the lamb curry I used to get was at an indonesian place, kind of want to track down another
Dry goat curry, yummm.
― Yerac, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:08 (six years ago) link
the goat dish from a really great indian place near me is very good but oddly bony both times i had it. my only goat experiences.
― Hunt3r, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:09 (six years ago) link
The only things for hoggety muttony American lamb are:
-mix a few tablespoons of wine vinegar with mashed anchovy, garlic, olive oil. salt and fucktons of rosemary, let it rest for ages with the rub before slow-roasting.
-follow recipe for curry goat.
-mince the fuck out of it and make kofte by adding onions/breadcrumbs/egg/parsley/dill/green chillis/garlic.
*has idea for kofte meatloaf, runs away*

Controversial opinion- I really really love foie gras and the only people who should complain about it, should be vegans. I ate horse, wild boar and venison last month. I only feel a little bad even though I think meat in general is terrible for you.
― Yerac, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:13 (six years ago) link
Yerac otm
But I wouldn't keep pescetarians in the house meself tbh. Filthy creatures.

People who complain about needing meat everyday or they start to feel "off" or "weak" are full of shit.

yes, sharp bones too!

ha you've been there great place!
― Hunt3r, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:30 (six years ago) link
it's a perfect storm of being a bony animal to begin with + not much demand for goat so butchers tend to use all the cuts, even the bony ones

trying to figure out if my hindu coworker opining that halal meat tastes better is controversial
I guess nearly every butcher shop in india is muslim-owned, at least where he's from
― mh, Thursday, 1 March 2018 20:40 (six years ago) link
one of his friends recently asked him if the halal shop he visited had "halal pork"
now we have this in-joke where one of us wonders if a restaurant has halal pork and we giggle

There’s a town in Kentucky, Owensboro, where they cook mutton barbecue. It’s the local thing and we once went a bit out of our way to try it. Delicious!I had horse sashimi a couple months ago in Tokyo. Also delicious.

SOMEONE MAKE THE CHEESE BOARD
My dad used to make lamb all the time when I was a kid but he's a chef and not American so maybe that's why. Ugh. Mint Jelly. Even now the smell of lamb grosses me out in a way that other meat doesn't.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 1 March 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link
Mint jelly is DISGUSTING.
The only time mint should go anywhere near any lamb is as part of a yoghurt-based raita/tzaziki.
