Not everyone likes lamb. I used to think I didn't like it, probably from having some gamey tasting mutton somewhere in England as a kid! Today's New Zealand, Australian, or Colorado lamb is wonderful and, if you trim the fat well, it has none of the possible gamey flavors that turn some people off. We even have lamb being raised on Maui now through the Maui Cattle Company. I haven't tried any yet but can't wait. This rack came from Australia via Costco. I've found their Australian lamb to be very good and competitively priced.
