    Sounds interesting. I`ve never eaten lamb, so
    I have no idea of what the taste is.

    My goodness. Well, I guess if I`m missing THAT much, I`d better get some
    lamb. Of course, then I`ll be back here with a dozen questions of how to
    cook it🙂

    Carefully, especially if it's a roasting cut - treat it really nicely, and
    you will be highly rewarded! Lamb makes EXCELLENT gravy too!

    I like to deglaze the roasting tin with a few glugs decent red wine, stir it
    all about untill all the nice sticky bits have dissolved, add a sprig of
    rosemary *and* little fresh garden mint, plenty fresh ground black pepper,
    top up with some good vegetable stock (none of those damned cubes full of
    MSG and sodium 5-ribonucleotide etc!), thicken if needed in your preferred
    manner (bit of smooth pureed boiled potato is good), taste, season as you
    like - doesn't come much better than that. In fact you could live off that
    damned gravy.

    Lamb is a funny thing. People seem to love it or hate it. I had it once when
    I was a kid. My father was quite vocal about his dislike of lamb (mutton in
    his mind) and my mother's presentation was not great. I was re-introduced
    to it in my 20's by my wife and I joined the "love it" camp. My favourite
    is BBQed loin chops. I just rub them with garlic and slather some mint
    sauce and olive oil on them about an hour ahead of cooking, then do them on
    the grill until they are pink. I love roast leg of lamb, lamb stew, braised
    lamb shanks. I would rather have lamb than beef, and BBQed chops over beef
    steaks any day.

    Heh. Guess there are alot of foods like that. For example, last week I
    had tasted anchovies (on pizza) for the very first time in my life. I
    thought it was one of the most vile things I had ever tasted. It wasn`t
    anything like I expected (I had always heard how salty it was). It
    didn`t seem particularly salty, just really oily and fishy and putrid.
    Some people love it, though. I can`t imagine why - unless these were bad
    or something? I don`t think I`d ever try it again.

    Count me among those who will gladly spend the rest of my life without
    needing to eat anchovies. Maybe it's because I am a lamb lover that I don't
    think lamb is as extreme a case as anchovies :-)

    Fish, oily and salty? That pretty much sums up anchovies for me. However,
    I had had anchovies in some dishes in which they are an essential
    ingredient. I have had them on pizza too, and I honestly don't understand
    how anyone ever got the idea that anchovies would be good on pizza. Or
    pineapple .

    I can eat anchovies right out of the can. Yumma.

    Long, long ago, when I worked at Pizza Hut, we made our own pizzas for
    ourselves, naturally. I loved the one we dreamed up with salami,
    anchovies, and the juice from the pickled jalapenos. Mmmmmm, delicious.

    Big mistake. Anchovies differ even more than lamb. It is quite
    possible to detest one sort and adore another.

    You probably wouldn't be neutral about any of them.

    Oh! You migt like to try the deli ones that ae sold lose by weight that are
    fresher and cured in a different way - they're almost like pickled
    herring/roll mops, slightly sweet and fruity/tangy, not oily or salty -
    the're like a whole different thing!

    There was a pizza joint in town that frequently claimed to have run out
    of anchovies. So I started to carry a tin or two in the car. Have to
    watch out lest they charge you for your own anchovies!

    Oh dear. I have to confess that when I order the local "Supreme
    pizza" I specify "Pineapple off; anchovies on." So I'm half with you.

  10. Scotty, me old mate, you need to sort out the attributions in your
    newsreader. You're ascribing interesting things to me that I didn't
    say; and missing the blasphemy that I did say!

    Checked out your recommended recipe. It sounds acceptable, but I was
    a bit [censored] that the site wouldn't let me see the larger piccie
    without becoming a "premium member". Bloody scam! They can get well
    knotted. It's not like they've got anything exceptional to offer.

    My favourite is a rack. They're quite expensive, but the flavour is
    fantastic. Much more mild tasting than a leg roast. Here's a recipe I've
    used that's gotten excellent reviews around here:

    I tried to get one place to put my own chiles onto the pizza before cooking
    it (better than raw chiles on there IMO) and after they finished giving me
    that "You are about to die." look, they said "You pay for those and OK." So
    I walked out and went to the place about 30 seconds up the road that did it
    with smiles and for free. ',;~}~

    Shaun aRe - They never put enough chiles on when I ask, or they take the
    [censored] and hide [censored] loads under the cheese, and their chiles aren't as good
    as mine anyway ',;~}~

    Sorry 'bout that. I probably had a few too many "wobbly pops".

    Yeah, they just started doing that. Personally I couldn't care less
    about the pictures, or any of the "premium membership" [censored]. But the
    site has a lot of recipes.

  13. I've only recently discovered the wonderful flavor of cardamom in
    chili. It may already be an ingredient in chili powder, but an extra
    1/4-1/2 tsp to a pot of chili gives it a great flavor. It's very
    expensive (second only to saffron), but lasts a long time.

    I use it in "Cardamom Spiced Meatloaf" and it truly is delightful. The
    aromas in the house are incredibly sensuous, but I never considered it
    particularly costly?

    ????

    Here in the SFBA, with our large Indian presence, cardamom is fairly
    inexpensive. I can buy the already shelled seeds by the pound. I
    love cardamom in sweets. One of my faves is cardamom baklava.

    Its a little spendy if you buy it at the megamart. I buy it at a middle
    eastern market for about 5% of the megamart price and it is probably a
    lot fresher too.

    Try buying it in an Asian shop. Cardamom is not very expensive relative
    to other spices.
