I’m guessing that your standard Briton eats more lamb than your standard American. But I’m also guessing that your standard muslim eats more lamb than either.

I don’t think I’ve ever had lamb.

I was unaware of a large Muslim population in Iceland.

Lamb is very big and very traditional in the UK.

In my time in the Saudi I never saw lamb being served although there was no prohibition on it. Chicken, goat, and camel were the mainstays with chicken being served several times a week. No prohibitions on beef either but some Muslims were suspect of it thinking it could secretly be pork and somebody was trying to put one over on them.

I don't eat lamb, but everytime I hear about it, I remember the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Lamb to the Slaughter."

Plot: Mary Maloney, a devoted and pregnant housewife, expects her husband Patrick to return home from his job as a local police detective. When he returns, Mary notices that he is strangely aloof and assumes that he was tired from work. Patrick finally reveals to Mary what is making him act strangely. It's not revealed what is discussed, but it is presumed by many that Patrick tells Mary that he was going to leave her for another woman.

Seemingly in a trance, Mary fetches a large leg of lamb from the deep-freezer in the cellar to cook for their dinner. Patrick angrily tells Mary not to make him any dinner, as he is going out. She strikes Patrick in the back of the head with the frozen lamb leg, killing him.

Mary realizes that she has killed Patrick and has to create a story to tell the detectives. She prepares the leg of lamb that she has killed her husband with and places it in the oven to somewhat destroy the evidence. After practicing a cheerful routine, she visits the grocer to establish an alibi. Upon returning, she enters the room with her dead husband lying on the floor and calls the police.

When the police (who are all friends of her husband) arrive, they ask Mary questions and look at the scene. Considering Mary above suspicion the police conclude that Patrick was killed with a large blunt object, likely made of metal. After a fruitless search around the house and surrounding area, Mary is reminded the leg is cooking, and offers it to the policemen, which after hesitating they accept. During the meal they discuss the murder weapon's possible location. One officer says it is "Probably right under our very noses". Mary overhears the last line and giggles, knowing it's true.
