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

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
