Food slide - I grew up eating either lamb or pork, very little beef, some chicken. Shanks out of the oven. And we are done eating. I rub down first with olive oil and herbs mixed in. Always use sweet onion. No potatoes this time or carrots in the roaster because we have the salad. Carrot salad, saw this on a youtube a Russian couple made. The recipe is posted upthread though I cut back on the spices and onion and followed the youtube instead. Glad I did. They went great together! Just a few bites of lamb and juices and onion left, will probably make some rice to go with for leftovers. I've bever made chops, only boneless legs on the charcoal grill and shanks. We would go to Grandpa's house on Sundays, 8 families, and he would either have a whole roast lamb or whole roast pig or sometimes both. Food slide over. Nothing going on in the garden yet anyway.

That looks pretty spectacular. I rarely ate lamb growing up. It was saved for special occasions, like Easter or Dad’s birthday, or maybe when aunts/uncles/ cousins/grandparents came. One family plus grandparents would make 20 mouths to feed.

I can’t imagine 8 families at once! You’d have to sit on the floor with your plate in your lap.

That is nicely plated! Looks delish.

We do like the lamb chops too, but mostly we get leg of lamb depending on the size- good eats
