I *love* lamb. it's really rich somehow. the taste is far more complex and far more pliable than other meats, I think. - workmanda Jun 6, 15:59
Delicious taste. It's a crying shame you've never had it, and you should go to a Greek restaurant immediately -- nm - Roger More Jun 6, 15:55 24
- Oh! Ya know what, scratch that. I have had lamb before, in gyros. - kelly Jun 6, 15:57 23
  - lamb is also the primary meat used in most curry's at indian restaurants -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 16:10
  - gyro's not pure lamb. theu are a mix of beef & lamb and are more of a meatloaf in composition -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 16:06 2
    - I've had gyros at Greek festivals where I watched the meat get sliced off the lamb on the spit. - kelly Jun 6, 16:08 1
      - *whimper.* -- nm - workmanda Jun 6, 16:10
  - I don't like gyros, but I have had lamb in kebab form as well. It's pretty good. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 16:06

    - Sfek - it's hard to describe but it's very savoury. It is to beef as turkey is to chicken -- nm - Roger More Jun 6, 16:05 16
      - Is it more of a light meat or a dark meat? I'm not much for dark meats. - kelly Jun 6, 16:07 15

        re doing with it. *gag.* lamb is magically delicious. -- nm - workmanda Jun 6, 16:11
        
        Dark meat. Seriously, you not having tried lamb makes my mouth sad -- nm - Roger More Jun 6, 16:08 12
        
        Okay, so - how would you recommend that I try it? I really don't feel like I've really *tried* it since it's only been in gyros. - kelly Jun 6, 16:11 11
        
        For your first time, a roasted rack of lamb flavoured with herbes de Provence. -- nm - Roger More Jun 6, 16:13 6
        
        We've cooked this recipe more than a few times. I'm sure you can find recipes with similar flavours for lamb loin chops -- (link) - Roger More Jun 6, 16:19
        
        I actually don't buy anything on the bone...could I do something similar with boneless chops or something? -- nm - kelly Jun 6, 16:17 1
        
        you could buy ground lamb and make burgers, but I feel the meat has more flavor as a boned cut -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 16:18
        
        she's one person right now. rack is too big. chops are the pick. -- nm - workmanda Jun 6, 16:14 2
        
        hmm. Could she ship the rest to Will? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 16:15 1
        
        "is there any liquid in the parcel, ma'am?" "just a little lamb's blood. no biggie." -- nm - workmanda Jun 6, 16:17
        
        grill or broil chops with fresh rosemary, pepper, sea salt. mmmm. (most people would say add garlic, but I think it injures the lamb.) -- nm - workmanda Jun 6, 16:12 3
        
        good choice as a first try. I like making a rack with feta/pistachio crust -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 16:17 2
        
        I feel like if she's trying to get a feel for how the lamb tastes, she needs to be simple. she can dress it up after she decided if she likes it. -- nm - workmanda Jun 6, 16:20 1
        
        yup -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 16:43
it's kind of like alpaca -- nm - CQ Jun 6, 15:55
