don't you think if you mixed them that the beef would over power the lamb.?

For me, the lamb taste would overpower the beef.

But, hey, that's probably because I don't care for lamb.

I think the ground lamb is usually older animals and stronger tasting...JMO.

I'm with you Beth! Don't like lamb taste either.
Tina made it once, and forgot to take off the skin. It stunk up the whole house at her mothers.

We never had it as kids because Mom didn't like it. She did cook it for Dad though.
DD likes it because she raises her own. She has a few of the over 200 of them on the farm. The sheep are bred special as a high grade, and before they get their teeth...they sell them as lamb at the co op here in town. Once they sprout full teeth, they are a sheep, and they get less money for them.

To me, it's like eating a sweater!

I love leg of lamb, though Brian is not a fan. My father and I were the only ones who liked it when I was growing up. He loved that, since we had it all to ourselves. I love lamb chops, too, but I don't buy them since Brian doesn't like 'em. They're not cheap either.

I'd love to try some fresh lamb from Jimmy's daughter's farm -- but I wouldn't be able to eat it if I saw the actual lamb before it was killed. I'd keep thinking about it...

My friend with the castle back in Junction City grilled lamb bits on a skewer when he invited people over. He called it Chislic. It was delicious.

OMG.... That happens here! DD Maria L O V E S all animals, and she has som favorite Lammies that are running around on the farm, but she feels so sorry for them when they even get loaded for sale at the auction.

She has a few Pigs too, but there are only two mommies that she is sort of attached to. Plus they had babies just a month ago. Those are a Rare Breed of pig that they raise for just selling them for breeding purposes. Then on the other hand...they have 3 that are different and are regular just chop em up for chops kind of pigs. They are ready for butchering Now, and she doesn't care about that. She said,"Dad, they are horrible animals with such bad habits!"
I said,"Like me?" ..... hahahahahahaha

The chickens she hates too! They are Too Loud she says! That's all they do is cack and scream!

She said, it's only the baby lambs that are cute!....hahahahaha

"Mary Had a Little lamb; Its fleece was white as Snow' and Everywhere that Mary Went, the Lamb was sure to go!".......

Wow! I remember the pictures of the castle Norm. And the Gargoyles you made? Am I remembering that correctly?? Do you have the pic of the castle? I'd love to see that again!

Here is a picture of the pool.
lamb & ground beef 007_4A_zpsbd785ed4

It is fed with a waterfall from under the tower by a pump that draws the water up from the moat.

There are a couple more of the gargoyles I made too. They are on either side of the waterfall with water coming out of their mouths.

What a labor of love that castle is! And how proud you must be to be a permanent part of his dream.

Kudos!

I think there are things that are "love 'em" or "hate 'em".....

Lamb, salmon, cilantro, blue cheese.....those are the first that come to mind. And I don't think it's so much a dislike as a genetic affinity to liking or disliking according to the way you were born. I think some people can learn to like some of their original dislikes, but there are others who, because of their general makeup, are unable to overcome that distaste.

And I cite MY inability to swallow most cheese to some part of how I was when I was born ~ I've tried and tried through the years to "learn" to like cheese. So far, the only ones I can eat without problems (gagging, etc.) is melted mozzarella, melted parmesan and cream cheese.

So, I consider you very fortunate to love lamb and salmon and cheese and many of the things I just cannot enjoy. You're a "Lucky Duck" in my book!

I remember reading somewhere that one's like or dislike of cilantro was genetic. My DH hates it. His mother hated it. For me it was an acquired taste and now I love it. One thing I absolutely will not allow pass my lips is papaya. I think it tastes and smells like vomit.
