I recently had dinner at an amazing Indian restaurant and had both lamb AND mutton. Both were fantastic in their own way. Mutton is a little gamier, but in Indian food the gaminess is hidden by the spices. Here at home, we use ground lamb in shepherds pie, and I’ll cook lamb chops once or twice a year. Grilling them is my favorite way of cooking them. I don’t do much in the way of spices or rubs-just some olive oil, salt and pepper, and maybe a wee bit of thyme.
Yep. Marinating some now for a dinner party tonight. BBQ over charcoal while basting with the marinade (olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, rosemary). They taste damn good.

Ground lamb iirc is that prescribed meat for shepherd's pie actually. It's a great meat, and you can often find it on discount!
Yeah... they typically call the ground beef variant a cottage pie if I remember correctly. In other news, no pics of the lamb from tonight as we were too busy eating it.
You are correct sir. Tonight I’m sitting on the deck, smoking a cigar, with a cold gin and tonic. We bought a solo stove for Christmas, so we’re taking it for a spin. We now have fire pits on all three levels of our property- the lower 40, the back yard and up on the deck . You can’t have too many opportunities for a fire.
Thats right. We have one guy at work for some reason if you are having sheppards pie, he will ask does it have lamb? if not it is a cottage pie.
We host a neighborhood St Patrick’s day party every year, and we make Irish stew and a bunch of both cottage pie and shepherds pie. Mixing the two meats is also great.
To me, anything with ground meat, veggies, and topped with mashed potatoes will be a Shepherd's pie. Sometimes that meat is beef, and may contain varying amounts of ground pork, veal, or lamb. It's all fucking tasty.
Just because the Brits can't spell their own language doesn't mean shep isn't the same word as sheep.
I mean a shepherd is someone who cares and raises sheep, so it's not hard to see why it should contain lamb in it. That said, I guess you are American, you guys have to remove letters from words when spelling them in an attempt to simplify them
