only if baby lamb who never moved a inch.

>>11853879
nope correct, lamb is the best meat

Lamb stinks. It smells bad.

>>11853935

>>11853875
Wrong

Lamb is the most pretentious protein out there, it only holds its value as long as you can make city faggots think it's some kind of exclusive meat, which it isn't.

>he's never had whale
Time to broaden your horizon anon.

lamb is good every now and again, i wouldn't want to eat it as regularly as i do chicken/beef/pork

>>11853875
i do love lamb shanks

>>11853875
Lamb's pretty good.
Made a half rack of lamb at home the other night. Was going for mid-rare, but got medium. Wife was happy regardless, because lamb is her favorite. Made a pan sauce for it. I generally don't like rosemary, but lamb can hide it's usually obnoxious flavour properly.

I eat meat, but I just think forcing sheep to give birth then slaughtering their offspring quickly is somewhat uncouth. Can we kinda just let everything have a natural-ish, not 100% entirely cruel, yet conveniently abbreviated lifespan? I just feel we can strike some sane balance here.

you mean like the entire meat industry, sheep or not?

>>11853986
What the fuck do you think they do to chickens and cows? Chickens are native to Southeast Asia and parts of India, and now there’s 19 billion of them around the globe. All because we murder them and steal their eggs. Veal is literally a nice way to say “immobilized slaughtered baby cow”.

I guess I see the lamb/veal thing as unnecessary. Honestly I feel birds are kind of like the remnants of the dinosaurs and would gladly eat us if the could, so I really don’t GAF. Same with fish. But I feel a little bad for cows and sheep, just let the motherfuckers live reasonably until the bad day arrives, don’t do the whole lamb/veal thing, it’s just not necessary IMO but I’m not out to shame people that partake.

I like it but I feel bad whenever I eat it

>>11854014
babies are slaughtered all the time, even if they're not eaten. at least with lamb/veal the dead bodies are more used, but I'm sure the non-eaten baby corpses are used in some manner too.

mammals only produce milk when they have offspring. therefore, mammals are impregnated, and their offspring is very often killed to maximize the amount of milk consumers get.

I don't know what your knowledge is and I'm with you in not shaming people, I just like to make sure people aren't sugarcoating their meat eating experience. It's disrespectful to the animal when people don't want to acknowledge the amount of life that was sacrificed for their convenience.

But I'm also a huge faggot, so

I mean, here’s the thing: one one hand it’s all a fucking horror show. I’m personally just one single generation removed from “if we don’t bag a couple of deer soon we’re going to have real problems this winter” kind of issues. Which was very accurate and prescient thinking. It allowed me to be here.

The second thing is, if humanity destroys itself before it can move past the horror show, whatever “we” is left will only know the horror show. All of this insane political bullshit makes me concerned we’ll see USA civil war II or muslim Europe with nukes using them or some kind of Brazil/Venezuela/Colombia battle royale or tranny hunger games, or Japan square off again vs China, WHATEVER. Things are going actually pretty well historically, which blows my fucking mind because everything is completely tetering on a knife’s edge IMO.

My point is all this human drama will get sorted out over the next 1000 years, and is of primary concern. The cows and sheep are of a secondary concern, and to some degree I’d rather have a creap method of grass ->beef conversion while it’s all taking place. But it’s just like: jesus fucking christ people, can we please just respect these amazing grass->steak and grass->wool converter machines that are dimly aware of shit and docile, and just not be complete cunts. But again, we are collectively complete cunts and like I alluded to, therein lies the problem and I have no solution.

>>11853875
That shit is still raw.

based

been a long time since i've had it, should take a trip to lapland some time

Lamb is just another foul nasty diversity food that white guilt libs pretend to like for virtue signal purposes

Sheep or goat meat is a staple protein for most of the world outside America you dumbass. It’s highly unpretentious unless you’re a dumb redneck

>>11854014
Wow look at this chairman of the ethics committee laying down some stone tablets here

Where’s the lamb sauce

>>11853875
fawn>lamb

why dont americans eat much lamb?

>>11857194
There isn't as much of a market for it, and the entire meat industry is oriented toward bovine and pig. I really wish it was more common, as I think a shitty cut of lamb tastes better than a shitty cut of beef. Of course nicer cuts of beef can't be beat by anything

>>11853875

koftas, grilled lamb, kebabs, minted lamb chops, shepherds pie... damn...imagine not having lamb

>>11857194
Cow herders fought sheep herders and killed many of them back in the day, and sheep raising never recovered. No joke. It's why cows are so prevalent despite the US having a lot of pasture land suitable to sheep.

>>11853959
Whale is actually garbage though

copy and paste that next time you feel the need to post

I like lamb and mutton but both are unsuitable as leftovers except in a curry or other heavily spiced dish. Something gets funky with the fat.

>>11859625
My Alaskan native friend gave me canned whale, sea lion, and walrus. They were all really good.

>>11853959
Don't really want heavy metal poisoning you dumb ass

Has anyone here tried elk? I anyways imagine it being delicious.

>>11853875
Mmm, unchewable gristle.

>>11859900
I haven't but friends of mine who have tell me it's more similar to bison than venison which surprised me.

Nothing better than fatty lamb

>>11853986
Lamb isn't tiny babies, and you don't "force" them to reproduce. You raise them for about a year in which time they are reaching full sexual maturity, if you kept them you would have spiraling population of sheep eventually more than what you can feed (and no income to justify looking after them)

Basically what you wish for is exactly what happens, there is a yearly "crop" of young sheep naturally produced by the flock, and you pick them out and sell them as they are just reaching their prime

>>11853875
Not that kind of lamb.
Full roast leg of lamb is where it's at. This mild pussy lamb in your pic is shit.
