Speaking as someone who was brought up on a farm with a lot of sheep, I was told from early in my life that "The good Lord in his wisdom and mercy giveth us lambs half of which are female and half of which are male, but the males have no commercial value." The females do have commercial value as they can produce more lambs next year and can produce milk and cheese too. To feed the males is costly, not to mention that rams (tups) get very aggressive as they mature into adolescence - as I can vouch for. Therefore, it makes perfect economic sense to "re-cycle" the young males in Spring when there is a glut of them. Sorry about this, but it is a reality of farming that has been known about for millenia.

Young animals are adorable because they have features we associate with human babies/children, which we evolved to find very cute and want to protect for obvious reasons. But that's also when they're the most tender because their muscles haven't had time to toughen with use and age, and generally young animals have much more fat throughout their body because they have such high energy requirements from needing to, you know, grow up. This applies to human babies too, that's why their so fat until they start walking around and then it just seems to melt off them and they turn into sticks.

I think the Passover celebration explanation for why lamb at Passover makes a lot of sense, I will note that the passion narrative of Holy Week takes place on Passover (the specific date people tend to gravitate towards is next week for the Last Supper), and the story of the last supper being a Seder is as old if not older than the gospels themselves. An anthropologically significant holiday can also be religiously significant, if one believes in a single God, it is more meaningful that a religious feast coincides with a feast of material necessity, it “points towards God” even in the mundane, as a theologian would say
@ProcrastPerfection2 ай бұрын

It does bug me that so many people associate the Last Supper with Passover when, during Jesus's time, Passover looked *nothing* like it does today. It is highly unlikely that the Last Supper was a Passover Seder because... well... there was no such thing as a Passover Seder as we know it today. Passover at the time of the Temple was a communal ritual holy day where a lamb was sacrificed in the temple and then a large feast was held for thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of people. Jesus would not have held a separate supper as he and his disciples would have been participating in the ritual sacrifice and feast at the Temple itself, and no, he would not have been officiating because he, at least in the Bible, was not an ordained priest. It's possible that the supper could have taken place immediately following the Passover holiday (that is, when it was over and leavened bread was safe to eat again), but it would not have been a seder itself as they just didn't exist back then like that.

A flaw of the theory about butching lamb because is the "safest meat" to eat at the time is, while people had ways to preserve meat, they could still just keep the animals alived until they where hungry enough to slaughter one for dinner so they don't have to deal with any leftovers. Is likely lamb was saw as a delicacy, and the best moment to eat it is in spring where there are tons of it.
@minghea27542 ай бұрын
I think people relied on old meat in the winter months a lot since many wild sources of meat either migrated away or go into hiding during winter (I think of large birds and frogs). Spring feast is also just a celebration of making it through the harsh months of winter, seeing another generation of lamb means that they have enough sheep to replace the animals eaten in the past year, and this regeneration also marks the turning of the year.

Yeah, I think the "safest meat" postulate is goofy as well. Historically, knowing how to write was rare, reserved for the ruling, religious, and merchant segments of society (where record keeping was rather important). It makes sense that sensible living practices were passed on through religious texts, which had more staying power than word-of-mouth. A culture of shepherds can use a reminder to cull their herds of the excess males every Spring, before they start rutting and get rather troublesome. It only takes a few males to service a flock, after all! The "sacrifice" is not waiting until they're older when they have more (marketable) meat. I'm sure they culled the less desirable males, keeping the few with the most desirable traits, like animal husbandry has done for 10K+ years before!

Irish Catholic here. We always did ham on Easter with colcannon and biscuits and a side of way too many deviled eggs. We're from Kansas and have a fair amount of German and Volgadeutsch in us so that makes sense. I've never had lamb\mutton; can't get it where I live. I'd love to try it though. Next year I might try to source some for the SGGs.

As you mentioned the adjacency of these holidays, I'll also point out that the Hebrew name for Passover is Pesach (same meaning), while the Christian Easter is called Pascha, which is simply the Aramaic word for Pesach. As at the time of Jesus Aramaic was the Lingua Franca of the area and also the main day to day language of the Jews, it is likely he/them/whatever and the disciples celebrated the Jewish Pesach as _Pascha._

Adam is probably like most people. He buys his pound of flesh at the store. He just creates the demand for someone else to do the killing.

Great video Adam. I love how you are brave enough to be yourself. I love how you juxtapose historic anthropological accuracy and your genuine happiness with others’ possession of their unique beliefs. I live within a hundred miles or so of you and I struggle to vocalize my secularism.

my family has always done a ham and a turkey for every meal (it's 3 generations coming together so a lot of food is needed) because that's always been the only way to get everyone to agree on food.

Here in Saudi Arabia muslims eat sheep in Eid Alfater which a celebration for the month long fasting during daylight which will be in two weeks (not religiously requierd but people enjoy sheep) same with Eid Aldha. however latter has religious background to it muslims believe that prophet Ibrahim was asked to scarifies his son and when tried he failed and than god reviled a lamb for him to slaughter so every year muslims slaughter a lamb or other animals during the pilgrimage to Makkeh and Eid Aldha.

In my family lamb is a Christmas dinner more than Easter dinner. My family comes from the Faroe Islands and historically most of the regular meals were fish and the fancy meals were lamb. Foryar means sheep island. I've started making the Christmas lamb now that my mom is getting older. I also started making a lamb ragu from the leftovers that loosely is based off Adam's Bolognese recipe and it's the one thing I've made over the years that feels like my own recipe. It's so good, I have no desire to use beef anymore
