Why is lamb virtually completely absent from American cooking?

>Americans criticize other countries for loading wars to animals
>the only animal they ever fought was fucking lambs

>loading wars to animals
What did he mean by this?

Am I the only one for whom lamb tastes like rotten meat?
I hate the smell, the taste, the texture.

It isn't if you live in a more diverse place or in larger cities. I can buy lamb at damn near any restaurant here, even diners sometimes serve lamb dishes. And every upscale place or middle eastern and mediterranean place will be serving lamb, so you can either have perfectly cooked fine lamb dishes, or you can get a cheap but tasty lamb shawarma or lamb stuffed flatbread, or middle of the road lamb shanks, etc etc. It's everywhere.

Did you by chance eat lamb one time ever and it was rotten, because the meat being rotten would explain it tasting rotten, dipshit

That's utter and complete bullshit. What kind of delusional world do you live in?

You called me names so I will not talk to you.

Did you by chance eat lamb one time ever and it was rotten, because the meat being rotten would explain it tasting rotten, friend.

Because murritos can't cook.

I'd love to make lamb more often but it's usually very expensive due to it being an "exotic" meat and the demand isn't very high due to the culture.

Most people in American have probably never even tried lamb, which is a shame because it has such a distinct and strong flavor.

America isn't sheep country. Too dry, no hilly grassy fields that aren't suitable for much else, no market for wool.

Can be a bit funky or fatty to me. But not always.

You could probably find it easy enough if you looked. Farm on my street has a herd, as does the butcher on my street, and hip restaurants probably serve it.

Also, some people make leg of lamb for Christmas.

Irish stew is part of every pubs menu, everywhere I've ever gone. Also on every menu, of every jerk shop I've ever gone to.

You probably just had some really gamey lamb.

Nah, gamey is far from rotten.

Retard alert

Our main fiber source was cotton, historically, so there was less need to keep sheep around. Also, pork and especially beef were also much more widely available and were eaten more often because they had higher prestige in the source countries for immigrants than mutton.

these. Various historical and cultural factors have led to lamb not being very popular in the heartland outside of special occasions, whereas later immigration waves from lamb-eating countries resulted in it having a much higher degree of popularity on the coasts.

Seriously fuck off with this flyover nonsense.
