daveinspain Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Lamb? I like lamb chops or even a roast, but... and I've got to be careful here since I live in a major sheep production region of America with the nation's largest wool shipping warehouse... No thanks for a lamburger. It's too difficult, IMHO, to do well in comparison to chops or "leg of lamb." Too often, also, the "lamb" is really an older animal that reeeeally gets that "mutton" taste. I hear you Milod, believe me, the thought of a lamburger never crossed my mind until I was served one at a friends restaurant. It was like, wow who knew... My tastes buds have been europeanized so that may factor into it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Dave... I know what you mean by "Europeanized" taste buds. In my case it was more "Koreanized" by being so close to the Korean-American community. When in Korea with other Americans it was funny 'cuz here I was in hog heaven pigging out on marvelous food (no, I don't like "all" Korean food, but neither do any Koreans I've known) - and most Americans, even many South Americans, were making like they hadda starve to death in a food desert. <grin> Food preferences can be pretty interesting. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ever try a lamburger? Mix 50% beef & 50% lamb... Mmmmmmmm... If you want the full experience throw in a little India seasoning like cumin seed and curry powder and top it off with sauteed red onion... 50/50? You gotta go all the way with that lamb. So delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For people with a mellow palate, I could see them being turned off by the plethora of pickled vegetables and spicy stews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rabs Vista Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I get 3/4 of a pound of prime minced beef from a butcher, (preferably he minces it in front of me) for 2 burgers (make em big). I use 1 egg, part beaten with finely ground black pepper in it. (Not fluffy, still liquid but mixed) Add to the mince and start mixing it together. If it's a bit sticky (depends on the mince) I add breadcrumbs to soak some up. Make 2 burgers with that and roll them in cayenne pepper so it sticks to only the edges. Cook to taste. Always serve with cheese. This is the only time that "cheese slices" from the supermarket are acceptable but some mild cheddar is nice. I like strong cheese but not in burgers. Too overpowering. Savory (tiger bread?) Buns or similar are my favourite. A good thick slice of fresh, crisp tomato is a must, other salad optional but strong wild rocket is nice.

quapman Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm with you all on the lamb. But to be honest, I have never had it ground. Sadly I am the only one in my family who eats it so I don't get it that often. But I think I may go find me a nice lamb shoulder and grind that baby up.

zigzag Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Slow cooked on a covered charcoal grill with mesquite chips. At some point, grilled onions (either cooked into the burger or grilled separately), and of course, the buns must me toasted on the grill surface. Bacon and the cheese of choice melted on top is a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Shred... I'm not sure I'd attempt to compare "interesting food preferences" to music preferences. Although having something you like brings out pleasant emotions, "we" can listen to music we consider horrid stuff without becoming ill. OTOH, that's not the case with foods. Unless "music" is so loud it hurts, it doesn't have some of the whole body effect of foods, either. I'm personally awfully eclectic in musical preferences. I could listen, for example, to a Lakota drum group all week and be quite happy with it, or traditional Korean music or blues or Bach or... about anything except rap and some atonal and polytonal stuff. There are some things I might be able to eat were I starving, but cultural factors as well as one's digestive system will make a huge difference in food preferences, and even the ability to digest certain foods were one fed "hidden" culturally unfamiliar foods that simply might not "work" in one's digestive system. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBENDS Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Boys, I think you ought to visit New Mexico sometime. We grow the best green chile in the world in southern NM, and NM and Texas beef is Grade A. A toasted bun, 100% beef patty cooked the way you like, cheese and a generous helping of green chile; simple and excellent. You guys will be addicted.
