There's a guy who raises lambs locally and sells the meat (and treated skins) at our farmers' markets. On rare occasions he's got mutton for sale at a MUCH lower price. I recently cooked some of his mutton. It was full-flavored, but needed longer cooking than lamb to become tender. Bob |

Now that I think about it, I think one of the Campbell's soups back in the old days listed mutton as an ingredient. Possibly Scotch Broth. That had tripe in it. It was my favorite, after picking out the carrots. (I detest cooked carrots.) I better not try it again. Campbell's has probably messed it up like they did with Cream of Chicken, and it might damage my pleasant memories of Scotch Broth to find out what it's like now. |

Chops are nice and tender and by eating them rare you get them when they are still tasty and tender. Shanks and stewing lamb are tough meats. They need that long slow cooking to soften up. |

Plus, it was the > only thing I could keep down It may be the mediocrity of Campbell's soup that I can blame for not being much of a such eater. I discovered while working at summer camp that home made soups can be good. I was amazed at how much better the cook's cream of mushroom soup was than Cambpell's. But then I went back to canned soup. Later on, when working on the road and eating lunches in restaurants, I found places that made good soups. I tried making some and failed. In the last few years I have learned how to make some decent soups. I don't think I could go back to prepared soups. Besides, I have to avoid them because of the salt content. FWIW... I am making a batch of split pea soup as we speak. |

I remember when Campbell's had a turtle soup, made with real turtle. When I was in college, during the late Pleistocene epoch, I consumed a lot of their soups, because it was about all I could afford. These days, I find them pretty nasty, usually way too salty. But I do like their black bean soup, which is not bad if you doctor it up with some chopped onions and jalapeños, melted cheese, sour cream, or some other stuff. For some reason, I have not seen it in Seattle groceries. -- Julian Vrieslander |

There's also this Filipino dish called Papaitan made of ox tripe (which is good) and ox bile (NASTY). One spoonful of the broth was enough to make me chuck up all the contents of my stomach.

I have a friend who says before the 1950's food wasn't standardized. Recipes would say a cup of this or a pinch of that, nobody used timers, etc. so you really had to know how to cook or have the services of someone that does. With prepackaged food, you don't really need that anymore. Preparing food is becoming a specialty skill of little importance to the vast majority of people, like knowing how to make an arrowhead out of flint or operate a steam locomotive. If your theory is also true, it suggests food is moving toward a single food in a single flavor that can be mass produced, eaten raw or microwaved, supply complete nutrition, and has enough fiber for comfortable bowel movements. It would be formulated similar to dog food, except using ingredients people would find acceptable if they knew what they were. I suggest calling it Purina People Chow. |
