Is Lamb lean, or a fatty meat, @marsh8

Fat under the skin mostly but not so much throughout the meat

I wouldn’t classify it as lean and the meat itself isn’t fatty, it has the best fat to eat though I always eat the lamb fat only sometimes I eat beef or pork fat.

Oh buddy, you need to try a traditional Shepherd’s Pie… I find a lot of folks in Canada call them that but use Ground Beef… Not the same thing, but it’s a really good dish.

Also, if you have any Middle Eastern places that sells decent Kebabs, get a Kebab… Shaved lamb + other meat in a pita with some veg and tzatziki… Delicious shit.

In the UK when minced (Ground) Beef is used we call it Cottage Pie and when it’s minced Lamb it’s Shepherd’s Pie. Traditionally sliced potato was placed on the top of Cottage Pie while mashed potato was used for Shepherds Pie but in modern times both use mashed potato which then started the confusion and although most people in the UK know the difference there are still some will call it either Cottage Pie or Shepherds Pie regardless of what meat is used, whichever melted cheese (very strong cheddar) on top of the potato is a must when I make either!

Kebabs using Pita bread is second rate, Naan bread for a superior Kebab!

@JoelSq my wife’s mother is German and Polish, and I have NEVER had a better Shepherd’s Pie. But, DID IT actually originate in Ireland ?? :slight_smile:

Shepherds Pie originated in Scotland but became even more popular In both Southern and Northern Ireland. Most people make a quick basic Cottage or Shepherds pie with just the minced (ground) meat, finely chopped onions in a gravy topped with potato (with or without cheese), Traditionally veg was finely chopped and either added to the minced meat and onion mix or added as a separate layer between the meat and potato for a complete meal!

This is crucial…

Often my grandparents would make it simply with peas and onions in the mince

I’ve eaten food off of the floor.

Also, I’ve thought about Food Critiquing, but only because I’m poor and could maybe get a free meal or two a week.

The only time we use ‘minced’ is for Xmas minced meat pies and that we make with ground venison (deer) or moose. :canada:

Back home in :jamaica: we used more British terms like bonnet of a car, and alsations for German Shepherd dogs
