Well I have had lamb at Christmas but never Easter. I no longer eat meat now so I don't lamb anymore. My wife still eats fish and chicken but gave up beef. She never could eat lamb because she always had this image of a wooly little lamb in her head and couldn't get that image out of her head long enough to eat some lamb.

Lamb is the best tasting meat on all the Earth. Californians don't seem to like lamb because it's hard to find it in our grocery stores. For Easter, chops or a roast is fine. I also like them in Gyros at other times of the year.
I also like Mutton, but that, too, is hard to find around here. It's funny, because there are Mexican dishes that use it.

Lamb comes from the young Lamb (usually younger than a year). Mutton comes from sheep older than a year, usually after they wool isn't full enough to be profitable.

Sometimes we have ham but sometimes we have lamb for Easter dinner. I understand that not everyone is fond of it but we like it a lot. I bake it well done and we have cranberry sauce with it and other vegetables with it as well and of course for dessert an Easter Bunny cake with purple frosting which is really good. Yum. LOL

Really? I've heard of a lot of religions that teach their members not to eat a lot of different meats, but never lamb. If you don't mind me asking, what religion are you?
((((Or were you being fecitious and I just stepped right into it?))) ;~D

I love roast lamb served with mint sauce. I don't buy it very often as it is quite expensive. We will of course have it at Easter as we had turkey at Christmas and the lamb makes a nice change.

I ate lanb just thrice and loved it every time.Once I had to finish a whole lamb by myself because I had a bet with my friend.I would have won the bet with some more time in hand ,but my friend started helping me seeing my misery,lol.I find it a little harder than mutton ,but it's tastier.

I love lamb anyway it is cooked. Baked, grilled, fried, or stewed. It's the only meat I truly love. I make it whenever I can afford it, as it is very expensive.

I love the taste of lamb, venison, buffalo, elk, rabbit and even aligator tail when I can get it. Unfortunately I'm the only one in my family with a taste for them, so I rarely get to eat it. I ate a lot of lamb back in the late 70s early 80s because it was pretty cheap. Now it seems lamb is the same price as shrimp and steak, so don't even buy it much for myself anymore.

we really dont have lamb too much in our home. We probably have it about once a year. We are not big lamb eaters. I would never fix it for Easter as so many of our immediate family would not eat it.

I personally do not like lamb. I think it does taste like port though. My dad is Greek and my grandmother would fix lamb for Easter. I did not eat it however. My dad loves lamb and when we go to a Greek restaurant he orders it often. My daughter and husband both hate lamb as well.

I love lamb. I used to go to my mom's for lamb chops once a week or so before she became too disabled. She broiled them. I also like going to a persian place & get lamb kabob (with yummy sour cherry rice.) I did get their stewed lamb once, it was okay, but not nearly as good as the kabobs.
I'm allergic to meats, so I find lamb a nice change and an addition to my diet when I can rotate it in.

We don't currently have lamb in our diet at this time. Not a common thing in our markets. When we get our critters we will have lamb on a regular basis. Will be a part of our dogs and cats diets too. None will be wasted and good management will enable this and keep from becomeing too crowded with critters.

Easter is a time for lamb here as well. My family do not eat lamb at Easter though.
A tradtional dish of lamb and cabbage is served in fall where I live. It even has it's own day in september. This we do eat in my house. It is very good. You just cook mutton in serving size pieces with cabbage and pepper for a long time. it is even better when reheated the day after.

My relatives raise sheep so they always have a freezer full of lamb. They ususally serve it for all their Sunday roasts. It's prepared in the oven ina roasting pan.
