Few (non-immigrant) families eat it, therefore few people know how to cook it properly. And so when they decide to try lamb on a whim, it comes out tasting bland, they say, "Ugh! Lamb is awful!", and never try it again.
It took me over a year to help my girlfriend un-learn that initial reaction by repeatedly taking her to Mediterranean and Indian restaurants where they actually know how to cook lamb.
- chrisseaton 10y agoThere's a lot of minced (ground) beef in US cuisine (tacos, burritos, on pizza, hamburgers, chilli, sloppy joes, etc). That's a place where lamb could fit in really well.

- jff 10y agoI think a lamb roast, lightly seasoned before roasting, is one of the finest meals you can get. The flavor of the meat is exceptional, and you really owe it to yourself to try it if you can. Costco sells lamb roasts for a reasonable price. This looks like a pretty decent recipe, although I never make sauce for my lamb--it's certainly juicy enough as-is: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/rosemary-and-garlic-roast-leg-of-lamb-recipe.html http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/rosemary-a... Another great use for the Costco lamb: cube it, marinade it in French dressing for a few hours, then make kebabs alternating the lamb cubes, chunks of bacon, and pineapple pieces. Cook it on the grill, it's fantastic.
