A relative of mine moved, with kids, to Australia. She initially had a
problem: she knew lots of easy recipies for pork, that beeing the cheap
meat in Sweden, but not many for the more expensive lamb. In Australia
the situation was reversed, and it apparently took her a while before
she was able to cope with the new situation.

But yes, I've encountered this prejudice against lamb ("tastes like a
wool sweater"). At a recent feast we had a stew with "lamblike" spices.
(even though we used beef), and people refused it due to an aversion to
lamb...

Lamb is slowly growing in popularity here in Sweden, but many still
don't like it. Generally untasted.
