Yes. Im still learning which cuts are good and which are too gamey though.

fried leftovers

>>18319616
I think it's not so much about cuts but more about meat quality. We get pretty good lamb in NZ, leg, shoulder, shanks, ribs, chops, flaps, all generally pretty good.

A way to gauge it is the cold cooked fat of a piece of meat should be nice. If it's not then that's not good meat.

Considering I have roughly half a side of lamb in my freezer, I would guess that I do, yes.
I have a leg, a shoulder and a breast in there.

No it tastes woolly.

>>18319616
also bone in leg which is the most common lamb people buy is a tricky cut of meat.

Most of the meat is lean, and is nicest med-rare. But it has big pockets of fat and that tougher (delicious) meat down around the bone which is more like shank meat.

If you go to med-rare you can just ignore the tougher stuff and re-cook that for another meal. Or take it to well, slow, and the lean meat won't dry out too much.

Lamb shanks or a boneless leg are kinda more straightforward because they're uniform.

>>18319657
very based, i'm jealous.

hell yeah. it's the best meat.
you can fry it.
you can bake it.
you can fuck it.
you can stew it.
you can braise it.
you can soup it.
you can grill it.
you can sautee it.

>>18319610
Never had it. There's an indian place that sells it but I'm worried I won't taste it at all because it'll be overpowered by the sauce.

>>18319610
they said it was gamey. they lied.

>>18319688
Get the fuck out of here, kiwi.

>>18319686
I just cook bone-in leg roast like I do shanks, low and slow.

>>18319699
i'm from kazahstan. you don't even know lamb like i do you silly anglo faggot. my girlfriend for three years was a lamb.

>>18319691
lamb curry is great lad try it

what other meat are indians even putting in curries if you want meat curry? chicken is boring they don't do cows or pork for some reason. You usually get the goat or fish?

>>18319718
curry is shitskin slop it doesn't even matter what the thing they put into it is. riddle me the difference between dog or cat curry?

>>18319716
Yes, so you fuck them like sheep shagging New Zealanders.

Anyone know how to cook lamb halal style?

>>18319721

>>18319723
Impaled vertically and rotating slowly.

>>18319710
that's good but you should try it pink. It's the best

>>18319727
two in the pink three in the stink

>>18319649
Oh if youre in NZ it must be ridiculously easy to get lamb. Where i live all lamb available is imported, so not the most fresh.

>>18319610
No

>>18319743
it's really good quality but it's still somewhat expensive most of the time which is bullshit.
cos it goes to export and that sets the price.

pork, chicken, sometimes beef are cheaper.

never tried it, want to tho

>>18319610
Love a lamb curry.

>>18319610
I would like it a lot more if it wasn't $20 a pound now.

>>18319610
one of my great loves in life is genghis khan, a japanese dish (DIY BBQ similar to korean bbq using lamb) popular in Hokkaido. there are plenty of great restaurants that provide this dish/experience all over, but the best way to experience it is to pick up freshly butchered lamb from a local butcher and have it at home with family/friends. possibly one of the best things you can eat in Japan.

>>18319610
It's alright, but too expensive to eat on the regular.

It's so damned expensive where I live but I love it.
I sometimes luck out and find a leg on sale. Don't have the finances for other cuts.
I work in a gourmet restaurant and all the other chefs/cooks there think lamb is boring and it sucks. I don't know what their damn problem is with it.

>>18319661
Only shitty old sheep taste woolly. Young lamb is delicious. Especially ribs.

>>18319610
>do you anons like lamb ?
Yesterday was the first time in 4 years I've had it, and honestly?
Yes.
I was called upon to prepare like 2 pounds of lamb and the marinade I had saved up in my brain really worked wonders.

>>18321322
Fuck that looks primo

>>18321322
Looks good besides the giant cilantro stems left in

>>18321322
delicious

>>18319616
It’s not the cut. You ever heard the expression mutton dressed as lamb? You see not all lamb is equal, and the taste of it varies massively depending upon the age of the sheep when it’s slaughtered. In most countries they have different names, lamb, hogget and mutton. Lamb is from sheep that are slaughtered within their first year, hogget from sheep slaughtered within their second year and mutton are sheep slaughtered beyond 2 years old. Lamb tastes mild and sweet, hogget and mutton taste more gamey. In the US they don’t differentiate between them, everything is simply called lamb, therefore lots of lamb that you buy can actually be hogget or mutton.

one of the better meats desu

>>18319610
I only had it once at my state fair, I had a gyro, and it was delicious so I am open to trying other forms of lamb

>>18324780
in english please

>>18324780
yeah that is pretty true

>>18319610
I've had it and loved it and I've had it and hated it. I suppose it all depends on the preparation. I don't eat it often and typically won't order it but this picture you post looks pretty amazing. 10/10 would eat it!

>>18319610
Yeah, got a big ol lamb breast I'm doing low and slow tomorrow

>>18324780
man what the FUCK

fuck yeah I do, got pre-season fire training today and I'm betting one of the blokes has slaughtered one of his lambs, chops and sausages should be on the menu for lunch
