I grew-up in a part of Texas where sheep and goat meat was pretty common.

I suspect she knows a lot more about the recipe than the pledge of allegiance. Also consider for a second how long an American news outlet would last if it ran articles on how American women create the “favorite meal for their husbands” which come as natural as the pledge of allegiance.

I’ve had goat at my local curry house - tastes a lot like lamb.

Immigrants like the Shahs may be saving America's sheep industry, say farmers and industry officials.

That's nice - as long as they're here legally. Propping up America's sheep industry does not justify the flouting of US immigration laws, US borders or US sovereignty.

American women could learn a lot from Filipinas, Japanese/Korean and Amish women, if not Middle Easterners.

Had beef atthe local Chinese - tastes a lot like rat.

I’ve never eaten goat but I once bought a locally-raised Barbados lamb and had it butchered. It was excellent.

What nationality are your doctors?

[Tennessee Nana]

Just leave off the garlic...

In all my travels throughout Africa and the Middle East, I reckon I’ve downed about a dozen goats/sheep. And I’m still here. I love lamb, but I have trouble eating a cute little lambie that not long before it was innocently gamboling in Farmer Jones’ meadow.

If you mean what ethnicity, he's some white guy, I just had my first visit with him a couple of months ago after my previous doctor retired. I assume any immigrant working as a doctor here came here legally - my issue is with illegal immigration.

Crazy-assed Jihadis notwithstanding, a good lamb dish is underappreciated in the US.

The loin chops are unsurpassed. Fattier than pork, and sweeter...with just a hint of grass and game.

Make them too salty, and burnt on the outside.

Rare.

Know what eim talkin’ about?

Yeah, it’s a shame you have to eat 6 of those chops just to get a meal.

Love lamb. Grilled saddle, rack or leg as shish kabob—can’t be beat. Leaner and healthier than beef—also grass fed and thus more good protein.

I’ve been using the Veteran’s healthcare system since 1983. Of the dozens of doctors I’ve had, exactly one (a podiatrist) was white.

Oldie buy one of my faves:

My mother was a low-rung high roller at the Treasure Bay casino in Biloxi before Karina. Occasionally she’d use her comps to take me out to their gourmet restaurant. I’d always get an entrée that featured steak, lamb and lobster.
