    Yes... It's as if the Country evaporated, from the day George Bush said "This is the new world order." I have to say...Your avatar is most awesome.

    JUL 3~Over here, these days, we have an entire segment of the population that ignores what is important.

    True. These are the times people get numb in the skull and explode unknown types in neighborhoods and really fuck it up. In, 2018, we were at the shore, and the numbskulls were doing just that with debris falling on cars, and they did this without a FIRE EXTINGUISHER nearby.

    Holy Shit. That's nuts. That scene will be in the next disaster movie.

    I personally cook lamb about 2 or 3 times a month. We absolutely love it in curries, butterflied and grilled, with Greek veggies and tzatziki sauce, etc.

    Super versatile, rich and succulent.

    I’ve heard that American lamb is stronger tasting (gamier) than Aussie lamb, which is quite mild. The fat holds the most flavour, but can put some people off. Lamb backstrap is very lean; marinade it in some balsamic vinegar, whole garlic cloves (cracked open with the flat of a knife), a whole sprig or two of rosemary, salt, pepper; grill the marinated lamb backstrap, reduce the marinade to make a sauce; serve with a simple salad of whatever leafy green you like, ripe tomatoes, cucumber, and a balsamic vinaigrette. Can be a good way to get someone who doesn’t like the strong taste of lamb to give it a go. This marinade also works well with kangaroo.

    I love lamb both of those ways, lamb shoulder would be the cut I would use. I love marinading it with garlic, lemon, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, then it smoking low and slow with casuarina seed pods and/or casuarina wood (which I know grows in Florida, and I believe is a pest). Slice it up and make yiros (gyros).

    Lamb shanks are the best, and they used to be cheap, but not any more. Lamb neck is very tender if you cook it low and slow, and hasn’t been discovered by foodies yet. Rack of lamb has always been expensive, but tastes great! Built in handle.

    I’ve never had Persian lamb, got a good recipe?

    Interesting. Being a biologist that has actually gone out on eradication forrays to remove non-native species, I haven't heard as much about these trees, as it looks like they are generally a little further south of where I am at. Interesting that we both instinctively do a similar thing with lamb though.

    I work near the "Tehran-geles" neighborhood of LA, so I always get the good stuff at lunch.
