Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

I don't care for lamb shanks either. I also really like goat meat split in half and cooked over an open fire pit of mesquite coals..or deep fried in lean thumb size chunks in corn meal is addicting...We had a fish fry and ran out of fish, so we killed a couple of my goats and fried them that way and never went back to fish, from that day on we had a goat fry..

Blood on the lamb or beef for that matter is what I like. It makes it juicy and tasty. Thats why I don't like 'charcoal' broiled anything as that kind of cooking leaves a burnt/dry taste to me. All guns should be locked up when not in use!

I was a little kid at the time and probably traumatized for life by watching my grandfather slaughter and dress the lamb "old country" style. And it was true lamb, not half-way mutton you can come across today. Anyway the lamb was wired to a spit and basted with butter as it was turned. I don't recall the occasion but we didn't have to invite the neighbors, about half of the little town just showed up. Also memorable because uncle Frankie, in spite of his father's warnings, almost blew himself up throwing gasoline on the wood to get the fire going.

It's all gr8 if cooked correctly. Flavour & "fattiness" increases, as you ease up through the Lamb to Mutton & Mutton to Hoggart. Fresh is hard to get up here, although we can buy frozen New Zealand legs of Lamb & frozen shoulder chops. Mmm, thinking a quick trip to "Extra Foods" on the way home & then a slow roasted leg tomorrow night. Anyone close by got a couple of good bottles of Australian 1996 or 98 (Barossa Valley) Shiraz ?

Paul. i could probably develop a taste for the stuff, it's just that the local groceries don't stock it on a regular routine. and, when they do, it's, in my view, pricey. but, the flavor is there, for sure. as to farmers, is it more reasonable to grow goats, sheep, or wild-range beef?? production costs influence final sales costs?

If you want flavour, mutton is they to go apparently...By mutton, I don't mean some scabby toothless sheep thats on the verge of death, but rather an animal of about 3 or 4 years old, ie in its prime...
