Your marinade did sound wonderful.Our family used to get fresh lamb from a guy that raised them, along with looking after and breeding horses for my folks.Amazing how good farm raised lamb can be, that grazes on grass and herbs.The chops and legs were so tangy it jumped off ther tongue.

I do love lamb...shanks mostly.Nothing like a good shanks with veggies and spuds in winter ;-)

We love shanks. One of our fav restaurants in Mass is Greek and has wonderful lamb shanks in their red gravy... Their rice with the red gravy is to die for.. The grape leaves, the stuffed cabbage.. They also have the best steaks you've ever eaten.. We have to go there now and then for a fix..

The cook told us that it takes at least 35 lbs of lamb and lamb bones to make the gravy.. I wanted the recipe.. I tried to collect that much, but failed.. lol

We get our lamb chops at Sam's Club .. They have wonderful ones.. Small, thick and trimmed prefectly..

I wonder if I can fit in a smaaalll piece of Carrot cake? lol

I never really had much lamb , until about 15yrs ago...we were in California, and were in the Anderson Valley, visiting and sampling at various wineries...(The Anderson Valley is a new and upcoming wine area in California, on a road going from Boonville over to the coast)...

Anyway we were told to stop in at the Flood Gate Inn for lunch, which we did...we had a wonderful ground lamb patty, thick, juicy and rare, and served on a mound of wonderful greens, and assorted veggies..it was heavenly...

Gosh, tho, now that I think about it, we did used to have some wonderful lamb up in Seattle, at the Pike Street Market...

For those who have never been there(which I assume is most here), if you go to the Pike Street Market, while visiting all the different vendors, you can stop in one of several places for something to hold in your hand, and munch on, while shopping...

There was the Greek Gyros vendor, who always has a wonderful huge slab of lamb on his rotisserie, revolving around...order a Gyros, and it is that wonderful Greek Gyros bread, wrapped around shaved slices of lamb, and combined with greens and veggies, and topped off with a wonderful cucumber-yogurt dressing...Good eats...
