I have never  tasted lamb and I had this misconception about this food…..not that I opposed to ever trying it but somehow I thought it does not taste good and disgusting to eat so I hesitated for a while when friends invited us to eat at Cabrito restaurant – famous for serving roasted lamb.  However, due to much prodding and their convincing powers, I joined them in a cubicle where we gathered round and sit comfortably on the carpet like the Arabs do.  Whoa!!! the serving was enormous.. a whole lamb leg good for 4-5 person served in a big platter with assorted types of rice to go with it.   The lamb meat is tender and juicy and flavored with spices so our group really enjoyed it.  By the way, the lamb served before us was eaten using  a grabbing apparatus (the hand), just pick up a chop and put it straight into your mouth….

A few lectures about lamb… accordingly, lamb is a good source of “good fat” so it is good for health conscious people because it has less saturated fat than any meat products.

Tender..succulent meat

Honestly, it’s just the thought of eating lamb that was grossing me out but actually, it was not bad as I thought.  I managed to have few servings and I was done….  I would like to believe that another lamb attack will make me at ease eating it just like them.  The aftertaste (or I was just getting paranoid) was watered down with hot tea and I was full…..

Before….

The after effect…..

Well, what a lamb experience!
