What Babish said, "Some people don't like the gamey flavor of lamb." What I, a Welsh man heard, "Some poor unfortunate people cannot handle the sheer deliciousness of lamb." Seriously though, that rack looks delicious and is perfectly cooked. I'm personally a big fan of the shoulder steak, cooked rare, with a simple mint and balsamic sauce which is much better if, like me, you don't like malt. A lamb shank done low and slow is delicious, but one of my favorite recipes for lamb is to take a shoulder roast, stab it a whole bunch of times then insert slices of garlic and sprigs of rosemary into the holes. Then rub the thing down with olive oil and salt and roast as preferred (pink is best). Makes the best spring roast, with some new potatoes and other veg. Also New Zealand lamb is delicious, be kind to our bros down under.

If people really think lamb is "gamy" they must eat some truly boring food. But I suppose "game" is more often referred to as meat someone doesn't usually eat rather than the actual meaning.

[@ChriaraCass]

Watched this yesterday and thought the same thing... I think lamb is less meaty in flavour than beef. So tonight I went and bought a couple lamb chops from Aldi fried them in a pan and ... still confused. They’re divine and not gamey at all

[@weirdslime262]

Based on an anacedote from a friend's dad, the account of another friend's American friend, and my own, albeit poorly remembered, experience in the US as a child I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of Americans are raised on utterly tasteless meat compared to meat in NZ. Forget lamb, the flavour of a regular grassfed beef steak from NZ is anaecdotely enough to make them hurl. Not because of poor quality, but rather because the taste is so "gamey" to them relative to the standard fare in the States.

[@inevitablesound7465]

I don’t really understand the concept of “gamey”. I eat a lot of goat and lamb but I’ve never gotten that sensation before.

Also if you don't like the taste of lamb, idk why you'd eat lamb? Like if you have to get rid of all the fat, make sure it's fed with corn rather than the natural grass they actually like to eat, and cook to a very specific temperature to dull the flavour enough to actually enjoy it then maybe you just don't like lamb my dude.

Hypothermia They are evolved to eat grass, not grain, genius. 'Like' is _obviously_ just a shorthand. Do you usually deliberately misinterpret people you disagree with in the most uncharitable way possible to make them easier to argue against? That's called straw manning.

[@CiaphasKirby]

@@theclockworkcadaver7025 ah yes, obviously what you meant to say was what you didn't say, not what you said. Of course. Also, evolution is the best you got? Sheep can eat grains, so obviously they evolved in such a way that they can sustain themselves OFF GRAIN. Here's a great example of how unbelievably stupid that is: you know what tastes great? Junk food. You know what's terrible for you? Junk food. On the flip side, vegetables are great for you, but the average person isn't generally willing to stuff their face with raw kale if they have other options.

I honestly don't get the whole sentiment that lamb is gamey or somehow bad. Being American, it's nearly impossible to find lamb in most grocery stores where I live, but the one time I did have it I thought it was great. Somewhere between beef and pork in flavor, but milder than either. I'll have to try it again sometime and see if it's as good as I remember.

[@SDguy3030]

Because you probably havent had a leg of lamb from new zealand, medium rare, it tastes very gamey, not like beef. But thats why some buy it and others dont.

I find it ironic that, in the comments, the one thing Australians, English, New Zealanders, and Welsh can all agree upon ... Grass raised, and finished, lamb is the best, and to hell with grain fed ... We can disagree in which one tastes the best (personally, mine is Welsh, followed by New Zealand, with Australian and English being about equal), but that is an aside to the bigger picture: grain is aweful for any cattle, sheep, or even pigs ...

[@tracygoode3037]

Grass fed lamb is incredible.

[@kennethsatria6607]

Awful as in taste or awful as in bad for the animal?

[@tracygoode3037]

@@kennethsatria6607 Awful for the animal. Grains today have been bred for easier harvest and processing, and thus are much bigger than the grains that sheep, as an example, would have eaten prior to domestication. Nor would they have eaten them in the quantity that they are fed to them now. It would be like you eating pounds of sugar at meals, not occasionally, but all the time.
