To French means to cut between the rib bones down to the chop and then completely clean the bones - it's for a pretty presentation.

Filus, was the lamb good?? sounds like a nice way to prepare it.
 
The "rack" is a connected series of ribs. Frenched means that on the bony ends of the ribs, the meat has been scraped off to reveal just the bone. There isn't really any "meat" there so it is a presentation thing. Can be as much as 4 inches of bone. If you cut a rack of lamb apart, do a good rub, and then grill the individual little "chops" you have "lamb popsicles"!!

Sorry to be redundant--I think we posted at the same time.
 
Unless you hate the taste of lamb, the roasted rack is one of the best meals you can eat. It is a favorite in our family and when we eat at a good restaurant we get the rack of lamb if it's on the menu. I don't bother to "french" the bones, I have my butcher do it. The recipe above are the same ingredients I use but grill the rack over charcoal.
 
I like peppered whole roast filet sliced warm over a salad too.
