[Sca-cooks] Mutton

[Saint Phlip]

_I_ don.t. Problem is, it's different from beef or veal, and I think
people dislike it because lamb LOOKS like beef, but distinctly isn't.

I'm still cringing from when someone on this List took some (lovely,
delectable, heavenly, DELICIOUS) loin lamb chops, boiled the bejezus
out of them, and decided they didn't like lamb.

Lamb is best cooked gently and served at worst medium rare, and mutton
needs more cooking to help break down connective tissue, but still
doesn't need to be boiled into grey mush. If I ever emigrate to Oz, it
will be for the inexpensive lamb down that way. Lamb is my favorite
red meat (as long as some idiot doesn't believe certain cook books and
cook it past well done.)
