Post a controversial opinion

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).

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

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.

quality is pretty variable i guess. i would like to have a butterflied leg of lamb grilled even now tbh.

I need to try goat again. My coworker has been having goat curry, kind of envious

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Feta is always bad

yes, sharp bones too!

ha you've been there great place!

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

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

Kosher cheeseburger

haramburger

cheeseburgers go ham xp

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.

still waiting on the cheese borad

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.

Mint jelly is DISGUSTING.

The only time mint should go anywhere near any lamb is as part of a yoghurt-based raita/tzaziki.

mint chutney >>>>>>>>>>> mint jelly

science was gearing towards the eat less meat as you age to decrease cancer up until recently

now there are studies that suggest we should eat more meat to maintain muscle mass, which always made sense to me

atrophy happens because we stagnate/stop exercising and decrease our protein intake

so keep exercising and eat plenty of meat if you like it!

the grapes are HUGE

Holy shit they are. Or the cheeses are tiny! In which case: nagl.

actually controversial opinion (for some reason): mint jelly is good not bad

ppl on this board are literally insane when it comes to mint, literally i tell you

i make good lamb burgers but also use only NZ lamb. there are a lot of places to get that around here. i add a little mint along w/the feta and red onion.

Hi mark I agree with u

mint + meat is best in larb

never had new zealand lamb but now i want to

I love mint in lots of things, including the above-mentioned watermelon/feta pairing. I've never entirely understood the lamb pairing, but don't object.

Mint is cool
