I don't know how someone can't like lamb, but there are a lot of them.

Still trying to sort out how many boys will be home. Could be as simple as burgers on the grill or stuffed shells if the elder two can make it. Either way the meal will not make the day/eve/night...

Growing up on the east coast leg of lamb was the traditional Easter Dinner. It was always fresh leg of lamb from the butcher shop, never the frozen New Zealand kind. Here in the midwest lamb is almost unheard of and hard to find in the stores. Spiral sliced ham seems to be standard fare here, we go to the wife's family gathering and the man of the house is a hunter so there's always a deer roast and/or deer ribs on the menu.

working and the crew is on a Paleo diet so it looks like ham and probably asparagus with deviled eggs as an appetizer. I'll be pushing hard for a side such as potato salad but will probably be unsuccessful. Depending on what truck I am riding, I might break down and bake a loaf of bread or some rolls for myself. The aroma should tempt the will power of the rest. The fresh doughnuts I left yesterday morning did not last long.
I'm one of those who does not like lamb. What I have had has been greasy and nearly unpalatable once it cooled. I would have blamed it on the cook except I have had it occur with more than one- and a couple of those were highly regarded chefs who had proven themselves to me on other dishes.

Surprises will never cease to amaze me !
I just found, cryovaced, bone in Australian lamb saddles at our local Extra Foods store. Amazingly, the price didn't seem stupid crazy, for here, either @ $22/kg ($10/lb).
Trying to decide on either boning, stuffing & rolling, or just cooking the bone in saddle.

![[Linked Image]](http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv111/bpig1/20160110_111132_resized_zps0cjxhuwh.jpg) The remaining hind quarter of this red pig will be cooked to a fine pulled pork. An apple cider/apple cider vinegar sauce will marinate the red pig. A green & red cabbage coleslaw cut fresh from my garden will compliment the red pig. Sadly a store bought Kaiser roll is the bread for the red pig but it'll do.  I would love a Grits & Greens casserole but no one else here likes greens. Sigh.. BP...

I think that we're having the ubiquitous easter ham. Probably some fresh asparagus, tater's, salad and who knows what else.

I think I'll try braise lamb shanks. I agree with Steelhead, what's not to like about lamb. I grew up in Bakersfield, Ca. where's there are several fine Basque restaurants that feature great lamb. There's none better.

I love lamb. I lived in northern Nevada for 5 years. LOTS of Basque people there. I've eaten many a fine meal at the Winnemucca Hotel and Martin Hotel in Winnemucca, the Santa Fe in Reno, The Star in Elko. And a few others that are long gone.
I guess that working for the old Southern Pacific RR had it's benefits.

I don't know how someone can't like lamb, but there are a lot of them. I would like to try leg of lamb one day. What's a good size leg? And your recipe for a number one most excellent meal for someone who has never had a leg of lamb. Medium rare I hope.  BP...

Well my wife is pushing for brisket, potato salad, beans and salad. I am going to head out tomorrow to buy a smoker as I tossed mine in 2004 when we moved to Calgary.

I picked up a ham and a brisket flat today.
I'll do some deviled eggs and some asparagus as well. Not sure what else? Mashers?
