I'm sick to the teeth of supermarkets doing deals on Leg of Lamb just now and everyone seems to be eating it 'pink'
Why don't some of these people who like 'pink' lamb just go out and bite a lamb on the arse if they want it as raw as that?

Wait. So why am i outraged?

I dont buy that sort of meat so is the leg of lamb cooked or uncooked as sold?

But surely you just buy and cook it how you want to eat it?

By 'deals' I am assuming you mean Special offers?? Isn't that a good thing - you get your lamb cheap and can burn it to a cinder if you prefer? Or am I missing something?

Mmmmm salt marsh lamb.... yummm.

I like it roasted with a very little rosemary and wrapped in several wild garlic leaves

Have you thought that it might be a bit odd for a person whose user name is all but the same as a type of lamb curry to be concerned about the welfare of the lambs?

Why does it upset you so much? Unless anyone is forcing you to eat it pink then I don't see the problem. Many people (myself included and most top chefs) think Lamb tastes better cooked that way.

What do you care how someone else cooks their dinner?

Only the ignorant think rare and raw are the same thing.

The more elderly amongst you may remember the Alfred Hitchcock Presents programme in which the wife kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb. At the end of the programme the investigating policeman unknowingly sits downs to a meal of the vital evidence.

Indeed. I remember that it was merely an adaptation of a story by the late great Roald Dahl, too...

People cook it to their own taste.

I eat steak rare but like lamb well done.

What makes you think supermarkets are advocating eating lamb rare.

That was an adaption of 'Lamb to the Slaughter' by Roald Dahl, from the short story book 'Skin'.

Yes it was an episode of 'Tales of the Unexpected'.

Anyway, I like my lamb medium. So BAH to the OP!

I like leg of lamb deals and I love my lamb pink. I could eat lamb every day.

Cook it how you want to eat it. And don't be swayed by meat snobs who flap around and have a hissy fit because you like it well done.

Personally can't bear lamb so not an issue.

You can't have looked very hard - it was immediately underneath the one you quoted.
