I would definitely suggest you tried it medium. It tastes way
better. Don't get rare though, it's not that it's health hazard, I
just find it incredibly difficult to chew. Especially if you get
shanks, I went to a restaurant and foolishly ordered rare lamb
shanks. I couldn't tear the meat off the bone, it was quite
frustrating. I winded it up getting it to go, then took it home and
cooked it more before scarfing it down.
