"Don't worry!", as I'm firing up the charcoal chimney and scrubbing the cast iron grill grate...

But what about Mary people! Why would anyone want to eat something so cute with fleece as white as snow?

That's why I had to rename it 'scooter' at my house. My wife couldn't get over the image of little cute fluffy creatures.

FWIW I don't like veal either. Too mushy.

fried chicken livers, feet, and necks. Just like grandma used to make.

CHICKEN livers, I like. Calve's liver I detest.

Wife doesn't like it because the image of a calf jammed and fattened in a crate repulses her.

But when urged, she makes the best veal parmesan I have EVER had.

I can relate to that. Being from the midwest I understand where my food comes from and have reconciled myself to it to some extent, but there's a cruelty attached to veal that I have a hard time with. Plus it's mushy.

I love a really good veal marsala. I just don’t think about how they are raised.

Most large regular farm henhouses are such foul smelling things, I hope the memory doesn't return should I have chicken.
Or the stench from your typical slaughterhouse. I am not sure if living your entire life in a cage or spending it all in a place that smells like a toilet is better.

If you eat animals - the process is brutal and stinks. Thankfully, I have no experience dressing a warm-blooded creature, but I've cut up countless forms of seafood while they were alive. That's the way it works.

Yack. You all probably like liver, too.

Love Lamb, for some reason beef liver makes me violently ill and has since I was a kid. Must be the bile.

Liver and Onions yum yum

My wife isn't a big fan of it - and I suppose it can be an acquired taste. Some years back, at Giant, they had this prepared, seasoned leg of lamb in some kind of mesh bag you cooked it in - and I don't know how it was prepared, the kids couldn't get enough of it. Sadly, they have never had it on the shelf since, and every attempt I have made cooking lamb from a recipe I found online - has resulted in lamb served a traditional way

And just not - as tasty.

Any ideas? I swear, I'm about to try just roasting it over an open flame. I like it, but I can't find a way that anyone else will.

I love lamb!!! A great excuse to overindulge in Worcestershire Sauce, Red Wine, Garlic and Black Pepper. I'll usually marinate the meat in the red wine and Worcestershire Sauce and then add more before cooking.

Love making Lamb Sliders with Ground Lamb. Just Dijon Mustard and red onion for toppings.

That sounds good...

My mom made a lamb shank on Sundays around Easter. It was ok, but could not get behind the mint jelly thing.

The only lamb these days is in those pre-made frozen gyros. They're pretty good actually. I doctor them up with grilled veggies and cuke dressing.

Me too. Have some in my deli drawer - it's better than the stuff I've tried to make, myself.

EDIT to add -

Also - extra feta, extra tzatziki, cukes and tomatoes diced into really small pieces.

Well I got sold on the game marinade thing - so I ordered the Joy of Cooking. I was very surprised with the dozens of cooking books, we don't already have it.
