Why is lamb the tastiest protein?

Because you grew up in a third world country and are used to the taste?

>americlap who's only protein intake consists of chicken and beef detected

>>7265070

We have lamb in the US, dum dum.

>>7265078
So the US is a third world country, then? You fucking idiot

>>7265060
It isn't. Lamb is delicious but it isn't the most delicious IMO.

Most delicious:
>mammals: elk, wild boar
>birds: duck or quail
>fish: sablefish, king salmon, hamachi
>shellfish etc: spot prawns, octopus

>>7265164

Octopus aren't shellfish.

Could be a case of desensitivity to taste and texture. The meat staples for most first world countries are fish, checken, pork and beef. You can only have it so many times before it becomes a tried and true bore. Lamb isn't something you get a lot of in western culture. It reinvigorates for appetite for meat because it's different. It's not so much a case of being better, it's simply a contrast to what's common.

>>7265179
They are technically mollusks. Not shellfish in the normal culinary sense though, you're right.

>>7265199
And you're an idiot

I noticed the "etc" after posting.

It doesn't matter.

>>7265078
And anyone knows good lamb comes from new Zealand, since the US definition of "lamb" borders on mutton elsewhere

>>7265164
What is hamachi and sablefish?

Also squid is superior to octopus. Scallops and oysters should be on this list .

>>7265179
Hence the 'etc' after shellfish.

>>7265088
holy shit anon try not to btfo him that hard

>>7265249
I prefer octopus personally, especially the huge octopus you get on the west coast. Humboldt squid is pretty great as well, to be fair.

Oysters and scallops are great but I was trying to keep the list to a very few items per category that are my personal favorites.

Sable fish is also known as black cod (a misnomer since it isn't a cod at all). It's a rich, flavorful, fatty white fish found in the pacific northwest. Hamachi is a fish that I find absolutely godly for raw preparations.

>>7265088

That's not how logic works.

>>7265067
You're confusing it with mutton.

>>7265060
only had it done right maybe twice out of the 10 times ive had it. those 2 times were amazing. the other 8 sucked. therefor, it needs to be done right.

my favorite most of the time is pork. such wide spread of flavors through the pig.

>my favorite most of the time is pork.
My nigga. It's a shame it's so far down.

Consider:
>whole hog barbecue (barbecuing the entire pig)
>pork skins & chicharrones
>lard
>bacon
>hog jowl
>baby back ribs
>spare ribs especially St. Louis-style
>tenderloin
>smoked ham hocks
>pork necks especially smoked
>pickled pigs feet
>country and city hams (such as those served around the holidays)
>dry-cured hams which encompass many varieties including prosciutto
>pork chops especially fried
>pulled pork (smoked and eaten as a sandwich, or braised for hot tamales)
>pork sausages which encompass likely hundreds of varieties including my favorites andouille and boudin
>a shout-out to country breakfast sausage and breakfast link sausages

I haven't even begun to touch all the ways we've discovered to cook pork.

Oink.

>>7265384
I left out two major ingredients in Cajun cuisine:

>tasso
>pickled pork

I wish goat and lamb meat was more accessible in the US.

>>7265675
find a halal butcher

i know how much you guys love muslims, but seriously.. they have good shit

>>7265060
It has a higher fat content than pork/beef/chicken, and fat carries flavour. Duck has a higher fat content than lamb, and tastes even better.

>>7265088
BTFO

>expecting decent logic on 4chan

>>7265679
I live in a small Southern town, there are no muslims.

Guess I could buy a goat off craigslist though.

>>7265060
That's not duck, though

>this pleb has never tasted the tender, buttery flesh of a scallop
Tsk. You don't even have to cook this godtein and it's still delicious and healthy.

>>7265060

>WHY IS LAMB THE BEST PORK

Because it also gives you wool with your bacon.

>>7265060
It's all that welsh/kiwi stuffing they get.

>>7265088
It has third world country problems, namely niggers.

I went to Costco the other day and saw 2.2lbs leg of lamb for $11. I had never had lamb before so I didn't know what to expect.

I made slits in the meat and stuffed garlic inside and salt and peppered the top thoroughly. I then put it on top a few sprigs of rosemary and added a few sprigs on top. Popped it on the oven for an hour and a half.

It was pretty damn good family. I overcooked it but it was still good.

The next day I put it on a hoagie with provolone and mushrooms.

9/10 I'm going to buy again.

Horse is superior
>similarly gamey
>lower in fat, higher in protein
>beef like texture

>>7267592
What temperature?

>>7267592
You did good.
Lamb loves rosemary, garlic and a little honey and pepper.
