I want to try lamb! Where do I start?
The intensity of lamb flavor depends on several factors. The first and most important is the age of the animals at slaughter. The younger the animals, the milder the flavor. The animals' diet also plays a major role in the flavor of the meat, however, more in the complexity of the flavors than in their overpoweringness. For example, the North German salt marsh lambs or the Altmühltal Heidschnucken probably gained their special reputation through the feed in their geographical area. But the slaughter of the animals also has a very strong influence on the flavor of the lamb. The animals should always have dry fur at slaughter and be slaughtered under very hygienic conditions. Otherwise, sweat and sebum can easily penetrate the carcass when the animals are cut open. This greatly intensifies the flavor of the lamb. Finally, the selection of the cut is also of great importance for the intensity of the flavor. Cuts from the rear end of the animal, such asclubSalmon, and pork chops are rather mild in flavor. Shoulder, shank, and neck goulash are more intensely flavored cuts.
