Lamb, Meat of Champions

I had a strong craving for lamb the other day. Unfortunately, I’m the only one in the house who eats lamb. I like leg of lamb and chops on the grill. My mom can make a leg of lamb to die for; her mustard and herb rub compliments the fragrant meat perfectly.
Knowing my family was not going to indulge with me, I opted for chops. Simple sea salt and ground pepper on the charcoal grill would have been fine for me. But, I ventured on the internet to see if I could find a recipe that might entice at least my husband into joining me in the treat. I found two recipes to try; one was a Gorgonzola Crusted Lamb Chop and the other was a Bobby Flay Grilled Lamb Chops with Mustard BBQ Sauce. Both were delicious to me. Hubby tolerated it, and the kids were furious I made them each eat one.
I guess the bottom line is lamb, like other game meats, are an acquired taste. Looking back I probably should have included it in their regular diets when they were growing up. Take note new and yet to be parents, especially if you have a broad palate.
