There was an article in the Rural Missouri about Butternut trees & being rare. Any of you Missourians or anyone else got any of them growing.

A runny egg yolk is nature’s original bournaise sauce.. aka “fancy gravy”.. lolI grew up in my Grandparents house; they were from upstate NY, descendants from Eastern Europe, and Russian Orthodox. My grandma was a good cook but there are 2 things that stuck out as exceedingly awful: stuffing and leg of lamb. She liked to cook leg of lamb for Easter and Christmas. I always ate some but could not get enough mint jelly to choke it down. I have hated lamb ever since.
Enter Grumpapotamus (Matt). Last Wednesday night he made us lamb burgers (with runny fried eggs on top), which were outstanding; and grilled a lamb tender loin, which was more amazing. The lamb loin was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I would take a lamb tenderloin over pork loin every day of the year. I would take a lamb loin over beef loin too because a lamb loin is just as good (maybe better), easier and faster to cook, and doesn't way 10-15 pounds.
My point, if you are a lamb hater like I was, give it another shot. I am open to leg of lamb again now; my Grandma just didn't know how to cook it the American way. Maybe Grumpapotamus will chime in with some tips.
There are 3 items that come to mind when I think of things in this world who’s sole intent was to be consumed as food...If it was runny, it wasn’t fried, just saying.... It made me gag watching my sister eat runny eggs when I was a kid & still does. My one of my girls went to England for a 7 day trip, she ate runny eggs & spent 3 days in her hotel room losing her groceries. She doesn’t eat them that way anymore.
I would agree with everything else you said about lamb & proper preparation & cooking techniques. Apparently Matt is quite the gourmet cook.
Hunger makes the best sauce...Morning midlanders!
I was a picky eater until basic training at Fort Leonard Wood.
Ate my first fried eggs, creamed chipped beef on toast and any thing else put on my plate.
Except shrimp. Shrimp puts me in the hospital.[emoji1785]
It’s the iodine content I think. [emoji848]
