Attending a meat-tasting lunch

Tweet

We live in an over-55s village. We have a clubhouse and a social committee that organises various entertainment/outings for the residents. One of the ways to raise money for these various activities is for residents to participate in a meat-tasting day. These are run by the Lamb Marketing Board and a fee is paid to organisations that participate. There was one run in our village this morning. There are three sessions of about 30 people in each. We sat in a little cubicle and were given samples of grilled lamb and had to assess each sample on taste, juiciness and flavour. There were seven samples and not everyone had the same sample at the same time. Between samples, we were meant to have a sip of diluted apple juice, then a cracker biscuit and more juice to ‘cleanse the palate’. I was going to add picture a photo of Hercules, my pet sheep, but it would be very unkind to put his photo up on a post about eating mutton. So imagine instead a yummy dish of your favourite meal.
