Goat! Now there's one I keep trying to like, but wouldn't buy to cook! I've had it at Vietnamese, middle eastern, and north African restaurants, and it's a bit strong even for me. All of these lamb recipes sound delicious and I'd try them all if my freinds loved it as much as I do. Note that most recipes have a lot of spices and strong flavors to stand up to the stronger taste that lamb USED TO have (as I said, quite often now it is lacking in that yummy flavor). When I was a kid Mom used to buy lamb shanks because they were very cheap. She'd stab them with a paring knife repeatedly, and stuff a clove of garlic in each cut. Then she'd toss them on a bed of onion slices, apply tons of S&P, and roast for ages. It was a real favorite. I loved it so much that she'd make me lamb sandwiches to take to school in my lunch. She thought I was a little strange (I think still does!!).
