Easter Dinner

Lamb is appealing more and more, and will be less fuss than getting the odd folk to eat Bugs Bunny.

Arby's? Ugh. I can't even. At all. Ever. That melty cheese stuff...eww.
 
I like lamb, but a little bit will do me.


And don't put the melty cheese stuff on your gyro! You put the Tat Zakey stuff.
 
A good shoulder in the crock pot so it is fall off the bone. Not spiral cut because that just makes the ham dry. If it comes with a glaze add mustard to it - or make a mustard glaze. Thicken the drippings for a sauce.

Mashed cauliflower (garlic and cheese to taste), boiled turnip and carrot, and a big pile of quick-pan fried green beans. Crusty rolls.

Damn - now I am hungry for Easter Dinner.
 
I sewed my Easter dress today while I Litsed so at least I'll look fabulous.
 
I like lamb but I've only had mutton twice that I can recall, once in England and once at a South African embassy. It's almost impossible to find in this country. I don't know why, there are plenty of sheep here and they all get slaughtered eventually; maybe the owners perceive no market here and export all the carcasses to Britain and Canada.

Costco has lamb, here.
 
Here, Costco has New Zealand lamb. The butcher has local lamb. Completely different flavors.
 
In the US, "lamb" means the meat of ovine animals of any age, including ewes and rams. This is by current USDA regs.

Well, I have had mutton and the flavor is different from -- stronger than -- what you can buy as lamb here. So I don't think anybody is selling mutton labeled as lamb.
 
You're going to need a very small moose.

Reminds me of the other week some parent at the school got a moose kill mama that was pregnant and he brought the dead calf in for show and tell.

I'm glad I happened to be there to lookie.

Superior Farms knows that if they market mutton as "lamb" people will quit eating lamb.

My sister used to sell to Superior and they wouldn't take anything over one year old. They guys loading the trucks age checked by the teeth on anything they thought was questionable. They also wouldn't take anything that was lame or in less than good condition.
