Gaminess is ambiguous because it is largely detected by the receptors of our harder to describe fifth taste, umami. Animals that are grass rather than grain fed, or that eat a wild diet will come across as more gamey.
The same effect of diet is even more obvious in the milk of nursing females … which is why I pick it up in the goat cheese.
But blue cheese is strong. And huckleberries taste wild. My husband says I analyze my food too much, and I probably do. Listen Listening I recount, fondly, stories of Santa riding the local fire truck up and down the streets, siren and lights blaring, a few weeks before Christmas.
I remember the bag of mixed nuts and boxes of cherry cordials and orange sticks that would magically appear under the tree every Christmas Eve. And then there was the food. Aside from grilling, you can also pop it inside the oven for a slow-cooked version.
The easiest way to prepare lamb is by roasting it. Drizzle herbs, garlic, olive oil, and pepper, then put the lamb in the oven for an hour or so. Try roasting the meat on top of a bed of baby potatoes for a one-pan meal. Let the meat cool and serve. Prepare the lamb by seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and extra-virgin olive oil. Cook in high heat pan until the chops brown.

Curious what does lamb taste like? Some restaurants serve this meat smoked or chopped for added juiciness and flavor. However, not all restaurants serve delicious lamb. Here are some: How lamb was raised In some parts of the world, lambs feed on grain and not grass. Domestic lambs have a different taste because of how they are raised and their overall diet. The cooking style and method Beyond the way the lamb was raised, the cooking style and method also alter the taste and flavor of the meat.
Added ingredients Sometimes, added ingredients and herbs can lessen the gamy flavor of lamb. SS : The New Zealand lamb that I eat -- which is pretty much all we can find -- tastes very different to me. I find it very hard to find American lamb. Is there a difference in taste between the two of them? MB : There is.
There's a huge difference in taste between domestic lamb and most of our imported lamb, which is from New Zealand or Australia.
What it comes down to is the diet of the lamb. MB : Yes, it influences so much, especially their fat. But New Zealand lamb is all pasture-raised, so they're farmed on grass. They eat grass for their whole life. That really brings out these branched-chain fatty acids. They're fat, so they're pretty strong-tasting. They taste like lamb.
They're lambs that taste like lamb. They're a little bit less fatty, as well. The domestic lamb, the American lamb, is a little bit milder. This is so much because American lambs are often finished on grain. For the last 30 days of their life, they eat grain. They eat grass until then, but this change in their diet changes the type and amount of fat that they have.
They have less of these branched-chain fatty acids, and therefore less of that super-distinctive lamb flavor. SS : Is there a way to control that flavor if you get rid of the fat? There's not fat on a piece of lamb, for the most part. MB : It depends on the cut. But the best way to control the flavor, if you are eating lamb but don't want it too lamb-y, is to take off as much fat as you can.
A lot of cuts have a fat cap that you can trim down. One of my favorite cuts is a leg of lamb, which I like to have butterflied. That cut also allows you to get in there and take out the little pockets of fat that are in there. Taking out the fat is what can control the lamb flavor.
MB : We have a recipe that is really nice. My family actually made it for Christmas this year. It's a leg of lamb, boneless, butterflied. It's opened up and easier to season all over, easier to take out this fat and make it evenly spaced.
