\"\"<\/a>Our friends from Brenalan Farm<\/a> dropped off our lamb order yesterday. \u00a0We have 25 pounds of chops, stew meat, ground, and various awful things. \u00a0Ooops, you know I meant “offal.” \u00a0 Wish we had a dog. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I have not been much of a lamb eater in this lifetime, unless it came in a giro, gyro, gee-row, heeer-ro, one of them there things. \u00a0 While I always have liked those, I grew especially fond of them while living in the 10th arrondisement in Paris, because it was one of the few street food things I could order without missing a beat. \u00a0(My French is…how you say?…..zeee terrible!). <\/strong><\/p>\n

And of course, that’s pressed chopped and formed lamb stuff, not right off the hoof like these packages. \u00a0 I didn’t notice if there was one with fur in it. I’ll have to look.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So anyway, we’re going to give a bunch of ours away to friend that really love the stuff, and they are all excited and wet thinking about that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will keep a mess o the ground, and make some burgers, and stuff some sausages. \u00a0 I am gonna try and make the sausages taste like gyro meat, think I would like that. \u00a0 \u00a0And rooting around in some old papers the other day, I found a recipe I used to seduce a woman from Spain – for a lamb stew with a lot of herbs, and I seem to recall that was pretty tasty. \u00a0But my memory may be clouded by the rest of that evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Green Acres buddies also brought some “polish” sausage and a salami (more like a summer sausage<\/a>), or, if you like, just a ‘soft’ salami.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Haven’t broken into the polish yet, but have had a bite or twelve of the salami, \u00a0very tasty. \u00a0And here’s the rub (not that kind): \u00a0it’s made from a llama<\/a>. \u00a0 The four legged kind, not the Keanu Reeves kind<\/a>. \u00a0 Like most ho-made game sausages, these are mixed with some ratio of pork, though that ratio is unknown to all parties concerned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And why do I have to know it’s anything except delicious? \u00a0I don’t!<\/strong><\/p>\n
