burger here

Lamb is delicious

>>14883298
wtf are you talking about? Growing up I ate lamb all the time. What burgers don't eat is mutton. Can't find that shit anywhere.

>>14883298
doesn't it make you feel bad eating jesus lamb. Eating jesus is for church on sunday

>>14883298
I was going to cook tonight. But now im craving Gyros

>>14883298
THIS BEAUTIFUL CREATURE MUST DIE

>>14883415
That lamb is too young for slaughter. This is more what they look like.

>>14883298
Lamb is triple the price of beef, and there's not much of a taste difference between the two unless you're having steak. Nothing against lamb, but it's not something that you can cheaply acquire because it's not produced stateside.

>>14883466
>and there's not much of a taste difference between the two unless you're having steak

>>14883298
I do. But my mom is Welsh so maybe I don't count.

>>14883466
>there's not much of a taste difference between the two unless you're having steak
Americans...

>>14883466
jesus christ...

>>14883298
I'll eat that. Lamb is my go-to when I go out for Indian food.

>>14883466
Lamb taste worst than beef and is 3 times as expensive.

>>14883298
I'm not American and also I'm not vegan but also eating any sort of baby is where I draw the line. We're absolutely no different than the witches and ogres from our own spooky old fairytales that only existed to eat babies and children. hansel and gretel bullshit

>>14883597
What exactly makes eating babies any worse than eating adults?

>>14883593
>3 times as expensive
In USA maybe

>>14883466

americans have a weird aversion to eating lamb commonly but i dont know the reasoning behind it. it cant be religious bc in the Bible they were killin lambs left n right

>>14883298
They're idiots for not doing it besides at Keen's.

>>14883626
adults have had more than a few minutes to live

>>14883628
Yes, exactly. America has enough land to raise cattle, so it does. Guaranteed that Aussies would have cattle ranches rather than sheep farms if their land was less marginal.
>>14883640
Dollars and cents

>>14883626
Babies are still full of hope and wonder. Adults have experienced the shitshow and are ready to depart.

>>14883365
Same, UK, never see mutton. Probably have to visit some local butcher or something. I've had it, it was good. I think it has to be slow cooked though. Goat's another one we don't get. I enjoyed goat when I had it, just never see it.

We eat lamb. What are you talking about?
My dad grills some mean lollipop lamb chops every so often

>>14883649
By that logic, you're saying it's better for everyone to experience "the shitshow" than not. So all life should suffer first?

>>14883298
I’ve been eating it more since 2016 since having a bunch of lamb in Iceland. Had a wonderful lamb soup there. The gas station sandwich of ground lamb with taco seasoning was interesting. And I order lamb Indian dishes all the time.
But yeah, generally not a burger thing. You might have to go to a Muslim or Middle Eastern butcher you get cuts you want. If you want goat, find a Mexican meat market.
Actually just bought a pound of ground lamb to make that sandwich again.

>>14883665
>>14883649
Life isn't all suffering and shit shows.

>>14883365
the avg. american eats 0.5kg of lamb, out of 90kg of meat in total... so very little. 100x less than a mongolian, 40x less than a kiwi, 10x less than a brit.

>>14883447
DEBBIE JUST HIT THE WALL
SHE NEVER HAD IT ALL

>>14883785
...shooter, is that you?

>>14883466

>>14883298
Lamb isn't one of the big 3 meats (pork, chicken, beef) but it's not uncommon. A better example of a meat Americans don't eat is goat. You can't get it at a regular grocery store and have to go to an Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, or Mexican grocer to get it. The only restaurant menus its on are ethnic restaurants, and even then plenty of ethnic restaurants in the US don't serve it.

I just ate some the other day.

>>14883365
wish we could, first had it at a Sichuan joint and have been craving it ever since

>>14883298
OH YES WE WILL.

>>14883466

>>14883298
Americans don't dislike lamb, it's just very expensive here.

>>14883466
where do you live?
lamb is cheap as fuck here because chuds never buy anything other than beef or pork

I only have had lamb on two types of occasions: eating at a churrascaria (Texas de Brazil) or eating in India. I enjoy it but wouldn't purchase and prepare at home.

>>14883298
DISGUSTING

>>14884267
Cattle country

>>14883649
animals dont have "hope and wonder"

My badass, hot as hell, chad girlfriend does. I'm vegetarian though.

>>14883298
I would never eat a Welshman's girlfriend.

>>14883597
So you base your dietary ethics on literal fiction? Oh, but not before projecting your own notions of... "wonder?" onto livestock. I guess I'll stop eating sunflower seeds because they have yet to experience the joy of flowering.

>>14883365
That's because in the US your local produced lamb IS mutton or hogget. The distinction is not made. In other places lamb becomes hogget when about a year old and shoots it's first two big adult teeth. We get them up to about 50kgs by then and slaughter if they aren't being kept for breeding. Imported lamb in the US is a superior product

>>14883649
Mutton from UK Aus and NZ mostly exported to Asia or eaten by the farm workers and their dogs

>>14883298
Huh? You can get lamb here, what are you on about?

Study came out in NZ recently showing their sheep and beef farms are carbon neutral when all the bits of forest over the vast hills of farmland taken into account. Some in the study over 100%. Most around 90%

>>14883597
If you consider a big fat year old lamb a baby.. have a crack at shearing some

>>14884632
I could not care less about how carbon neutral anything is.

When I buy something, of all the things I consider before making a purchase, the carbon anything is not even on the list.

Unless it's charcoal then I want my charcoal to be as close to 100% as I can get.

>>14883304
cringe

>>14884785
Fair enough, but it's something used fairly often to attack agriculture. That it's polluting or making greenhouse gas. Fact is, it's not always true when you're talking about growing animals on big pieces of land covered in pasture and forest

Remember, if you eat meat you're a disgusting disgraceful animal and deserve what the chinese are going to do to you when they take over
>>14884438
They do. They're not different to us

>>14883499
>>14883518
>>14883593
>>14884120
>>14884247

hey, if your meat was mass produced in antibotic and hormone laden shitfarms, you'd say completely different species taste the same too.

I had american mutton once. definitely could taste the feedlot in it. I suppose if it was actually pasture raised it would be quite delicious. Its just damn near impossible to find that in my section of burgerland.

>>14883298
Tastes bad desu

>>14885101
Not the Chinese! Terrifying people. I heard if you piss them off enough, they'll make an offer to buy 49% of your company!

>>14883647
You think Aussies don't have cattle ranches?

>>14885101

>>14885101
Some people are pretty similar to livestock to be fair. Spend all their time eating, stink, take big shits wherever they feel like it are stupid as fuck. I can see why you in particular might not see many differences

>>14884605
>That's because in the US your local produced lamb IS mutton or hogget.
>Imported lamb in the US is a superior product
no, it's not. you clearly don't a have single fucking clue about what you are talking about.

>>14885264
The meat isn't graded by age like elsewhere by mouthing the sheep.. most us lamb is killed up to 14 months making it hogget elsewhere. And there is no regulation stopping any sheep meat being marketed as lamb. Carcass are simply graded prime etc

>>14885263
>describes self flawlessly

>>14885348
it's not 14 months you fucking dipshit. i don't think you have ever had US lamb so stop spouting bullshit out of your ass.

>>14885370
I've sent 2000 to the works this year and fair bit of it exported to California though you wanna talk sheep buddy?

I had lamb burgers earlier

>>14885451
>fair bit of it exported to California
yea like i said you don't know jack shit about US lamb. go fuck your sheep girlfriend ahmed.

>>14885451
americans pay a premium for domestic lamb that hasn't been raped.

Of course I will, lamb is delicious. It's just too expensive to justify on my budget.

>>14885515
do they? do they usually know how good lamb asshole feels?

>>14885515
They pay a good premium for mine in LA that's for sure, are those your sorry 3 penned up earlier in the thread?

>>14885610
lol, no, they don't.

>>14885609
How good does it feel anon?

>>14885470
I notice you never refuted the fact that in in the US meat is not graded by age of the sheep. Isn't it about time you went to dump some corn on on them and give them their shots?

>>14885618
ive never fucked a lamb, im asking the questions here

>>14885634
it is. it's called lamb. you are really fucking reaching. unfortunately your lamb isn't even in the same category as US lamb regarding quality of the meat. i notice you also never refuted the fact that you have never tried US lamb and don't know shit about what you are talking about.

>>14885642
Yes our lamb from Australia and New Zealand is such low quality it now supplies half of the US market, and American producers are trying to block it being marketed as "spring lamb" in the US, if it was killed at the wrong time in a completely different hemisphere.

Sheep farmers beefing

>>14884632
How many vegan rants does it take to produce the hot air needed to grow the grass for one lamb though?

>>14885683
yes.

>>14883298
What? Rack/crown of lamb is common as fuck. We eat Veal as well.

>>14885945
Where do people farm sheep in the US? Can someone come over and get cheap hills and plant them with nice grass and stir it up?

>>14885969
you'd also have to import the drugs and medicines, vets, skilled workers for things like mulesing, herding dogs, and then train butchers and slaughter houses on lamb specifics. For what? To spend more money to produce lamb that might be as good as imported lamb but has the shit reputation of US lamb all for a market that doesn't really like lamb. Sounds like /ck/ is onto another winning business idea.

>>14885989
>shit reputation of US lamb
lol no.

>>14886000
It has no export market at all.

>>14885989
if you wanna learn how to raise world class lamb then come to the USA. otherwise don't be a jealous little bitch if you're too retarded and can't compete.

>>14886003
lol no. so you're admitting you have never tried US lamb so have no fucking clue what you are talking about?

>>14886010
i was born in the caucasus and worked as both a herder and chef in saudi arabia (which is super particular about high quality lamb and mutton) and I can assert that US lamb is cream of the crop

>>14886016
reputation precedes experience. You seem to struggle with this concept.

>>14886053
no faggot you are the one struggling with your lack of both experience and reputation. everyone knows US lamb is the best. If you go to a super high end restaurant it's only US lamb. NZ and australia lamb is shit.

>>14886048
>>14886010
this is the sort of autism that keeps me coming back to this board

>>14886073
lol no.

>>14886016
It has no export market at all. Nobody wants it. Stop sniffing your own farts. Nobody wants it. Mediterranean lamb is superior to Aus and NZ. Everybody knows they're filling the budget market. US lamb? Nobody wants to know about it. It has no place.

>>14886048
I was born in georgia and worked as both a cart wrangler and deli section in walmart (which is super particular about stocking things that actually sell) and I can assert that you are full of shit

>>14886081
lol no. keep seething im not even sure why.

>>14886081
Aus and NZ is supplying china

>>14886088
ok so you have no idea what you are talking about and just shitposting about lamb for some random reason? you're a retard

>>14886081
bruh literally every michelin restaurant serves only US lamb because nothing comes close

>>14886061
Ah well said. However you must consider you're both wrong and retarded. No one knows of American lamb, therefore it's got no reputation.

>>14886101
lol no. keep crying what fantasy are you even living in?

>>14886100
>bruh
>literally
Uses stupid people words
>>14886100
>every michelin restaurant serves only US lamb
Hold stupid opinions

Well it all checks out.

>>14886113
is that your response? bruh.

>>14886105
>lol no
I counter with; lol yes

>>14886122
i guess you are trying to larp or something because you are totally delusional.

>>14886114
>bruh
Repetition of stupid people word.
>is that your response?
Failure to comprehend simple concepts.

:)

>>14886127
Ok chud

>>14886132
i'm sure you impress all your limpdick neckbeard friends with your rapier wit lol.

>>14886141
Ok cum guzzler

>>14886127
Interesting concept, however incorrect. I am both correct and lucid. You are consistent in being wrong and retarded.

>>14886149
lol no. keep repeating your delusion though.

>>14886144
>limpdick neckbeard
Freudian introjection of phallic incompetence.

The plot thickens.

>>14886152
Yet again I counter; lol yes

>>14886161
power bottom?

>>14886160
ok. are you the same dipshit as >>14886141?

yall australian faggots really gotta harden the fuck up

>>14886161
They are already satisfied. 500 sheep will do that

>>14886186
can you imagine the testosterone fueled stamina it would take to fuck 500 different sheep?

>>14886192
I can only imagine that a couple would get their throat cut

>>14883298
you can find it at walmart

>>14886196
i'm talking about love...that's all on you you sick murdering fuck

>>14885634
it's better anyways, escoffier says that older animals have more flavor.

>>14886201
Fuck all the sheep you like anon

>>14886207
More gamey, more tough

>>14883298
Yes we do. I like mine marinated in this and rosemary and grilled for ribs or chops.

For shank I like mine slow cooked over garlic mached potatoes and carrots served under a red wine reduction.

Too bad it's expensive here.

>>14886166
>lol no
stupid people words
>jesus now im sad for picking on a dumbell
contradiction of 'laughing out loud' to 'now im sad'. Confused, irrational and unstable.

>>14886172
Can a retard like you ever stop being wrong?

>>14885370
hes right though
most of the lamb bought in the states is not lamb, which is why americans get tough shit tasting meat
aussie spring lamb masterrace

>>14886192
Have you seen a ram? Their balls are the size of your head

>>14883298
had some last week but the market is slightly fucked in the US thanks to the rancher conflict between sheep and cattle herders over 100 years ago.

>>14886330
lots of mcchicken fags in here pretending to know anything about lamb

>>14883298
i literally had lamb chops last night

>>14883298
it's almost impossible to find mutton in the USA, it's always lamb

>>14887885
Because there is nothing stopping mutton from being labelled as lamb.

>>14887890
ask me how i know you don't live in the us and have never handled us lamb

>>14887969
There is nothing stopping mutton ftom being labelled as lamb. Fact. Game over

>>14886100
>>14886081
To end this faggotry once and for all. The best lamb is local lamb. Fresher is better. UK Anon here, there's no way we're buying American meat - your standards are way too low. Top restaurants here will be serving locally sourced lamb. Same with anywhere - they'll just find the best local source for an ingredient and use that.

>>14888907
>your standards are way too low
Says the country where Mad Cow disease is endemic

>>14889022
Mad cow disease is not endemic.. there are sometimes cases on mainland europe, UK got rid of it. UK beef is excellent, especially Scottish beef.

>>14883298

Should have used a horse pic instead

>>14887986
the only fact is that you're just pulling bullshit out of your ass. why are you arguing about a topic you know nothing about?

>>14883298
europeans literally eat dogs

>>14890705
Dogs are for working not eating!

>>14890884
Oi m8 that pictures getting me all duffed up innit m8 all that sexy in one place God save the Queen

>>14883298
People eat lamb in the US but it's not farmed on a large scale. It's mostly imported from Australia.

>>14888907
Nothing wrong with it hanging a while in the chiller. Try to carve up some meat when it's just been killed, it's like jelly. Needs to hang and set

>>14883298
I love lamb, and when i was a child mutton was available in the US. Seemed to not be available in the late 80s early 90s anymore though. I still love lamb though.

>>14890920
First successful refrigerated shipping was from NZ to UK with a bunch of lamb on board. Basically on opposite sides of the world. Been going on ever since

>>14883298
local muslim place sells various meals with lamb in it. Great food. Also a nearby greek place does mutton. I've had the pleasure of getting a rack of lamb from a fancy place. Shit was on point, great seasoning and all. The only downside is the price really and depending where you get it from the taste isn't all that different.

>>14883466

>>14883298
Just needs some cheese and ketchup.

>>14891762
Mutton is widely available in the US today. They just call it lamb now, because they can get away with it.

>>14883298
I wouldn't. I'd rather cook it first and I'd pass on the grass it shit and pissed all over

>>14884605
>That's because in the US your local produced lamb IS mutton or hogget. The distinction is not made

You are massively fucking retarded.

>>14893077
he posts on /ck/ so thats a given, still he's not wrong about the hogget.

>>14883499
fucking americans clowns

>>14883298
>omega-6:omega-3 ratio of lamb is closer to salmon than any other domestic meat

reminder lamb has better omega3 ratios than grass fed beef, it's basically land salmon

>>14894313
imagine not eating american lamb

Lamb? Yes I will. Rack of lamb, lamb chops and lamb kebabs aren't that uncommon here, at least among cultured whites anyway. Also lamb is easily the best meat for Mongolian BBQ, I personally go for lamb with cilantro, onion and oyster sauce, throw lots of rice vinegar on the top too.

>you WonT eAT a bAbY animAl

I would punch a baby animal if it was delicious enough.

>>14883298
I'd eat mutton, but since all mutton is marketed as lamb here I just don't bother.

You're retarded, American lamb exports are negligible.

Shepherds Pie is my favorite meal
>EVER

it was so weird when i tried lamb for the first time.
i couldn't imagine what a new meat would taste like, and idk, i just really didn't like it when it hit my mouth.

>>14883298
I eat it. Love lamb.
