Name a food you tried and will never try again. Mine is lamb which was served at a wedding. Very greasy in my opinion. [View all] debm55 Aug 14 OP

Lamb is a meat that requires care in cooking. I won't do it because it stinks up the house for weeks... hlthe2b Aug 14 #1

This was eaten at a Serbian wedding reception of a cousin. Yuk. debm55 Aug 14 #3

I've had lamb only once LogDog75 Aug 14 #29

Oh, dear.... electric_blue68 Aug 15 #76

Yes. Kabobs and other Middle Eastern (and Greek) methods of cooking render it delicious... hlthe2b Aug 15 #87

Interesting. At one cousin's her mom... electric_blue68 Aug 15 #96

Young lamb shouldn't. The older the animal (closer to being mutton), the greasier and smellier... hlthe2b Aug 15 #107

I might have had mutton soup up in The Navajo Nation in '79. electric_blue68 Aug 15 #108

I bet many who find lamb "greasy" just love to pieces greasy bacon burgers with cheese. Or greasy ribs. Go figure? Bernardo de La Paz Aug 15 #133

I have lamb at least 2 a month, more often if on sale. Bought today. I most often braise which reduces fat content. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 15 #109

Good luck. Hopefully in time. electric_blue68 Aug 15 #77

Liver. MIButterfly Aug 14 #6

Thank you very much MIButterfly. I didn't know rumaki was liver. I wouldn't have eaten in either. debm55 Aug 14 #12

Eating liver would be like consuming a used oil filter, imo SheltieLover Aug 14 #20

Very true, very true, SheltieLover. debm55 Aug 14 #30

I Love The Flavor, But... ProfessorGAC Aug 15 #110

I think it would work better as a flavoring enhancer for sauces. pandr32 Aug 15 #120

Love marmalade. Lime marmalade is the best, but hard to find and expensive. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 15 #123

I had to look it up as I was unfamiliar with it. As I was reading, I started to gag. Yuk. Thank you LastDemocratinSC. debm55 Aug 14 #50
