Eating Sheep

She didn't disbelive it, just found it hard to believe, I suspect because they're cute and fluffy. You really have to look to find it in the supermarkets here, so no in-your-face evidence.

Plenty of people don't really believe Brits eat kidneys, liver and the like on a regular basis. When I was a kid I assumed it was an old wives' tale that the French ate horses, frogs and snails......

It's as easy to assume things that seem unlikely are old wives tales as it it to believe things that used to be true still are, especially when they happen in a different part of the world/don't happen in your part of the world.

Greek shish-kabob. Mmmm. If anyone's interested, I'll post the recipe.

We have these with a BBQ quite often. in ours we have really only three main ingredients. cubed lamb, haloumi cheese and sundried (or semi sundried) tomatoes. Squeaze a bit of lemon over the top, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsely and a bit of salt and pepper.

Yummo! Everyone loves them.

Huh, here I thought lamb chops could be found in any grocery store. I've only cooked lamb chops myself, but it seems like lamb is available everywhere around here, in all kinds of cuisines.

But I haven't had mutton since I was a kid, when my grandfather would butcher a sheep for special occasions.

True enough, but I guess at least wrt people in other countries eating different animals, it never occurred to me to doubt it. Maybe I'm just too gullible......

I've had roast lamb a few times - loved it. It is very expensive around here though and the roast aren't very big, so either have alot of extras or buy 2.

A few year back a local tavern had a cajun chef. I made a special request and had lamb jambalaya.
