      Lamb is only chewy if you overcook it. Which is easy as the cuts are usually pretty small.

      Sounds like you’re cooking it wrong. It feels disrespectful, but a lot of the people criticizing this probably rub their hands together and say, “yummy!” when they pull a burger out of a bag without thinking of the calf/cow it once was.

        I’ve never cooked lamb, I only ate it as a kid. And the last time I spent My money on dead chordate, I was recovering from invasive surgery.

          Gotcha. I was vegetarian for many years, so I get it. Cooking chicken actually smelled like heated roadkill to me, I had to leave the room.

          I felt healthier without eating meat, actually. Now that I am back to eating meat, I respect where it comes from and intend to use every part of my harvests (having a dog helps too). I believe I owe it to the animal to acknowledge where what is on my plate comes from and to be as humane as possible.

            yeah, it’s cool how our brain can rationalize an evil act, like paying for innocent beings to be slaughtered for our pleasure, by “respecting their sacrifice”, and occasionally hunting something “humanely” and then pretending like we only ever eat meat that came from an animal that never suffered for our meals
