I've only had lamb once. It was at an Easter buffet. It was very good.
My wife makes a great punch of lime sherbet and 7-Up. But once she used orange sherbet when the store was out of lime.
My mother used to make lamb chops once in a while. At least it's better than liver. Both enough to convert to vegetarian at least part time.
There are some parts of pig (or cow) I eat and some parts I will not eat. Some days I eat no meat.
all they ever ate was fried chicken...they went fishing and NEVER had them for SUPPA

Holy Crape, that sounds down right disgusting.
My hunch, is how the writers loved to toy with our sensibilities!! Success! 🦃
