But my love for the lambies is a pale, puny thing compared to my love for the little veals. God bless the little calvies for giving themselves up so selflessly, that we might have veal scallopini, and veal picatta, and veal parmesean, and veal marsala, and the magnificent veal saltimbocca.

Baby calves -- I doff my hat to you in tribute. I hope someone is saving you a nice warm spot by heaven's hearth.

Coq au vin, chicken kiev, chicken cordon bleu, sauteed chicken livers (smothered in vidalia onions with a splash of cognac), fried gizzards -- gonzo has very ecumenical tastes in chicken.

:really:

I'm going to work out presently, now that I have suitable inspiration to apply myself more diligently than usual to the weights.

I'll be back to discuss this . . . this . . . unfortunate line of thinking later.

Lamb shoulder steaks. Trust me. Barely cook 'em so that they're almost-raw rare with garlic, salt and black pepper. Simplicity reigns with this oh-so-tender delicacy.

And I think mint sauce is an atrocious cliché.

I think that I may just be ill over this one. How anyone can eat veal is beyond me. It just seems so barbaric. Not to mention that you are stuffing yourself silly with meat that was gotten from an animal that was knee deep in it's own feces from the time it could defecate. I honestly am getting to the point that eating any meat that is processed in these huge plants is truly disgusting. Not to mention all the antibiotics and lovely other things they pump into them to make them look more palatable to the consumer. I really need to become a vegetarian :P

Listen to this guy, people. Those of you that profess to dislike lamb are doing it wrong. Don't overcook. Avoid anything lean - lamb fat is wonderful (leg of lamb is nothing more than cat-food). Buy a whole shoulder weighing at least six and a half pounds and roast it for 30 mins. to the pound. Just season it a bit first and sprinkle chopped rosemary on it if you have it (NOT dried - please!) And I mean Cornish spring lamb, or something local to you, not that imported New Zealand once-frozen rubbish. Know where it comes from. A decent butcher will tell you if the lamb's good at the moment. I happen to know a good butcher - see recent sausage thread. Best end of neck is a good cut too. The best way to enjoy lamb chops is to get the butcher to cut them thin then barbecue them, nothing fancy. As you know, Mr Hedron, I admire your views on all manner of things but you are wrong about mint sauce. Never buy ready-made mint sauce. Grow spearmint (once you've got it, try stopping it!). Chop about 3 tbsp. of the young leaves fairly fine. Add a half teaspoon of sugar, then about 3 tbsp. boiling water then 3 tbsp. malt vinegar, stir and leave to cool. Your kitchen will smell wonderful. Make gravy with a little of the juice and all the scrapings in the roasting tin - do not add Bisto or any other browning or thickening abomination. A bit of flour if you must. Serve with organic spuds, par-boiled in salted water for 10 minutes, drained and roughed up in the pan then roasted in some of the lamb fat that you drained off when there was about an hour to go, and any veg of your choice. Do not tell me that lamb is tasteless or not worth eating until you've tried this.
