Cold! But true. We had sheep when I was a child and my brother now raises beef so I've had no illusions about where my food comes from for a very long time
Someone gave us some venison today. I've never eaten it and don't think I can. Not when the deer come to be fed in my yard every day. Frank has no such reservations though.
I'll take em both - I grew up on a farm, so you raise some to eat, some to sell some to become pets that stay with you always. Looks great, tastes great. Nice Photos :)
One of my brothers is a much better cook, and baker, than I am. Think you will remember my mentioning him? Anyhow, he recently told me during one of our regular phone calls, about a delicious lamb stew he'd made. I admit that I flinched just a bit at that, but then got a grip on myself, and wished that I could have had a taste of that delicious stew.
(I can still love the view of those lambs on the green green field.)
Nothing better than a lamb shank, when that meat just falls of the bone! Pity lambs are so cute. I wrestle with this dilemma a lot. Can't find a happy medium so I eat with guilt, maybe that is the happy medium. Enjoy. Di X
My grandmother was a true Welsh woman. She loved lamb shanks. She loved lamb for Easter. I never acquired the taste. I am afraid I am very untrue to my roots in that way.
A connection that too few people make in any conscious way.
ReplyDeleteI wish I didn't love lamb (the cooked kind) quite so much!
ReplyDeleteThat was great, Friko!
ReplyDeletei will take the second one....smiles...
ReplyDeleteyou trying to make me feel bad?
we have to respect where our food
comes from
Oh dear ! I'm afraid I do like eating lamb shanks and wearing woolly jumpers .
ReplyDeletehow could you
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that is a real story of lamb shanks.
ReplyDeleteFacing the facts.
ReplyDeleteMy brother grows them on herbal ditches so that their flesh is infused with rosemary and thyme.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.

ReplyDeleteI am shielding Monty's eyes from this post.....luckily the other lambs are outside and cannot be alerted....
ReplyDeleteA before-and-after-pic. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteSimple honesty from the countryside! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAloha

ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteHi Friko - my uncle's favourite ... always lamb shanks, if not then ham, eggs and chips - very English fare .. and English lamb is so good ..
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary

ReplyDeletePoor little lambs!

Oh, dear. You're ruining this dish for me…
ReplyDelete;)
Love the humour, Friko. Or maybe it's not humour, just facing the facts.
ReplyDeleteThere's a plate that would have made dinner an easy decision tonight....looks better than the fish I selected.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of lamb, preferring chicken or beef, but that plate does look yummy.
ReplyDeleteWell, another reason to not eat lamb, even tho it looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteLove the lambs. The shanks, not so much! But they look awfully delish in your photo!

Friko, love your sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteOne says ' I don't love sheep'
Another one answers:' You just don't know to cook it'
I never eat lamb again !!!
ReplyDeleteLamb shanks are one of my all time favourite meals (with rich gravy and mashed spuds of course!)
