Some people don't like the taste of lamb because of the fat. I
don't think lamb is nearly as gamey tasting as it was when I was
half my age. Probably because American raised lamb is getting
mellower die to feeding regimens (just like pork and beef did).

Imported spring lamb from NZ or AU is usually gamier (and I actually
prefer it).
