Easter Dinner

The default thing is roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. Hmmm... same old, or something different...?

Depends on how long ago you last had roast lamb, as compared to how long it has been since you've had some other delicacy.

I tend to avoid lamb, but not due to any lack of love for the delicious stuff. I tend to avoid it because it is in my experience terribly difficult to use well as leftovers. When you're only feeding two people, a hunk of lamb big enough to roast properly will leave you with lots of levftovers.

So, on holidays, I tend to lean towards birds (duck, goose, and turkey), which lend themselves more to recycling.

When I have leftover lamb, I make Lamb Vindaloo. When [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur has leftover lamb, he makes Fidaush . Thus, I have to buy enough lamb so that each of us gets some left over.

my bad. Link for Fidaush does not have a trailing L. (.htm)
