lamb is ok, my dad makes lamb/mutton and potato stew a lot

Literally had a war about it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_Wars

>>12434373
The sheep-cattle wars. We have abundant land so instead of small scale sheep farming we do large scale cattle farming. Less lamb is around hence the preference for, and familiarity with, beef

It's still somewhat popular at Easter where I live

I love lamb, though normally its a bit to pricey to justify purchasing. And also seems to only come in larger portions, and me obviously being a single loser don't need a full leg of lamb for dinner.

>>12434373
Americans have almost, but not quite, zero interest in lamb.

>>12434373
I love lamb. I wish it were more popular so it would be cheaper.

>>12434373
Sheep Wars.

>>12434373
Because our country was made by based cattle barons who fucked up gay ass sheep and lamb herders for wasting grass on inferior creatures.

>>12434373
because lamb is way more expensive than beef. If lamb were cheaper than beef or even on par with it it would be much more common

>>12434373
Time for a lamb tariff.

>>12434456
except in gyro form

>>12434373
I love lamb but I have a British grandmother, so that explains it.

>know foreigners dont eat certain type of food back home so big chance they wont like it
>serve it to them anyway

>>12434373
That is fucking retarded.

>>12434373
It just has that aftertaste, yuck.

Literally nobody in america has anything against lamb, it's just less common due to our farming and grazing practices. Nobody thinks it's weird or evil or gross. It's just not cheap.

I mean I don't eat lamb very often but I have no problem with it. Gonna tell my wife to get some for the future. Goat, too.

>>12434373
Tasteless, even worse than goat

Lamb Chops are the best cut of any meat.

>>12434511
Most people specifically like trying things that are uncommon at home when they travel

>>12434373
Lamb is delicious. Portion sizes and prices are somewhat prohibitive in the USA

>>12434373
the minor UK-US diplomatic incident was because a former US ambassador was served lamb at every dinner party he went to because in the UK lamb is seen as a meat for special occasions more so than everyday beef. everyone feeding him wanted to be good hosts and show off a bit and this poor bloke just wanted a burger or steak

>>12434511

The written also have Mr Trump a book as a gift. The royal family are obviously trolling him

>>12434548


You think that applies to POTUS?

>>12434373
Because I cant get any here lol

>>12434616
Americans are s heltered from human food.

>>12434549
>Lamb is delicious. Portion sizes and prices are somewhat prohibitive in the USA
This. I picked up a pork shoulder picnic for 5$ two weeks ago. Lamb would have cost two-three times as much for 4 to 12 times less meat.

>>12434373
I like but but I rarely have it because it's expensive and hard to find in grocery stores compared to beef. Shepherds pie is delicious, though.

>>12434616
>a comment in 2014
>5 years ago
>this writer was sitting on this for 5 years
>all for a mediocre anti trump anti american article

Europeans really think about us all the time

>>12434373
>DO AMERICANS REALLY DO THIS!????

>>12434373
It does? Since when? I like lamb. Sichuan cumin lamb is the bomb.

>>12434373
It doesn't. We simply don't have as many shitskins as you to provide a market for Halal meat faggot.

>>12434652
what do you expect from a (((journalist))) and i doubt its a jab from the queen, lamb is very common at royal functions, also i remember the 'incident' in 2014 because everyone was having a good laugh about it and pretending we were all offended by the american

>>12434373
I only eat it when I'm either at a churascarria (which offers both leg and rack) or the one 3 week business trip I took to India. I like it, but it's expensive and wouldn't want to be assed with learning how to prepare it when I can get porn/chicken and beef for less that I already know how to prepare.

I'm from dumbfuckistan and I love me some lamb. Not sure why other folks in the US don't like it. It's delicious

lamb and mint sauce is so good. but the price makes it a delicacy for me, once or twice a month is usual

My familly are ex-yugo immigrants (I was born there), my dad is nuts about it. I like it but I think I prefer some good seafood, which he's not so crazy about himself unfortunately.

Bong here, lamb is shit and gamey like rabbit I have no idea why we eat it, at least when americans eat venison they have the excuse they hunted, gutted and prepared it themselves

>>12434373
Lamb is great, but expensive. You basically have to go to muslim stores to get lamb and mutton. It's a shame since they aren't that bad to eat.

Someone once said lamb tastes like old socks, and I had to kek at this.

I’ve always wanted to try it but it’s a bit pricy to not even sold in the places I shop

>>12434373
That's some hard hitting journalism right there

>>12434716
porn/chicken?

>>12434373

>"I must have had lamb and potatoes 180 times since I have been here. There are limits and I have reached them," he said.
So the diplomat wasn't even complaining about lamb. He was complaining about everyone serving the same exact dish over and over everywhere he went.

>>12434548
He's on business not a vacation

last time i ordered lamb in america it looked like this

>>12434837
>it's raw mutton

>>12434846
Mutton and lamb are the same thing in the US. There's no rule about not being allowed to call it lamb just because it's old.

>>12434854
Yeah well the rest of the civilized world realizes those words have two different meaning and obey by them regardless.

>>12434861
I know. That was the point.

>>12434837
now I understand

>>12434466
Same, but if lamb popularity increases, then the price will go up for no other reason than there's such a high demand.
Same concept as chicken wings which are so overpriced it's fucking ridiculous

>>12434547
We got ourselves a patrician here

>>12434642
Probably because the pig was grown in a concrete cell on grains whereas lamb in the US may be imported from a free range station all the way in Wales, Australia or New Zealand, or perhaps the cheaper stuff is coming from some niche American farms that finish them on grains.

Funny that the Queen serves it up and yet so many US posters seem to associate it with ethnic food.

>>12434854
I believe in the US you would have to look for "prime" or "choice" lamb to have better luck getting something that was actually sent to the works when it was still a lamb by age and not just one of the biggest in the flock that was rounded up when the order was filled.

>>12434373
I'm an American and I love lamb. I don't know what the problem is.

FUCK TRUMP IMPEACH NOW

>>12434916
fellow shart here. I don't like basic lamb roast, but lamb fried with cumin or as kebabs is godly. I just wish I had more options than the sizable leg packs from Costco .

>>12434373
I’m British and love lamb, and I tried some once in America that I had bought in an American supermarket and it was awful. Literally the worst lamb I have ever tasted, with some weird aftertaste that I’ve never come across in British or New Zealand lamb before. So yeah, I think the quality of American lamb is pretty low.

>>12434373
I fucking LOVE minted lamb.

>>12434837
Would devour

lamb smells rotten at room temperature.

pretty decent with mint jelly

>>12434892
Christ what a snobby post. Tone it down next time

>>12435344
has a dirty wet sock aftertaste

where's the lamb SAUCE

>>12435344
I'm American the only lamb you can get where I live is imported either from Australia or New Zealand. There ain't a lot of domestic production around here.

>>12434373
When your qween comes over, we're gonna serve her some bologna aspic

>>12434373
Give me a juicy lamb leg steak over beef any day.

>>12434373
Go away shepard /ck/ is a cattle farming board.

>>12434837
Based and sv3ridge pilled

>>12435344
The smell and aftertaste was the worst. Like you're licking the floor of a petting zoo or barnyard.

>>12434652
More like he did the equivalent of saying something retarded on TV and it became a meme.

>feed an important guy some of the best stuff your society gives to important people of high stature
>he bitches about on public media how he's sick of it like some spoiled brat
>start an international incident
I would bring it up every chance I get regardless of who's in office.
