For me too. Unfortunately most of my neighbours disagree, saying it smells terrible.  So it's difficult to source (and expensive when I do find it). 

On the other hand, they love Xinjiang lamb (or is it mutton?) Grilled with cumin and chilli sold by itinerant vendors with mobile grills in every street night market in China!. Go figure.

They just don't want to cook it themselves. 

North and west China eat it a lot, but I'm not moving there. Too cold.

 

 

We love cumin lamb!

 

Yesterday, I was at Safeway and found 2 packages of ground veal marked down! So I made Ann_T's Magnolia Grilled Veal Meatloaf!
I used Summer Savory that my kids brought from Nfld for herbs. We LOVED the texture, way better than the usual meatloaf with tomato sauce / BBQ sauce. We had some slices for supper tonight, with a mushroom gravy. Took some to my brother and s-i-l. Tomorrow, I may grill some for lunch!
Thanks, @Ann_T!
                                                          

 

                                                          
 

Another first for me was Rice Pudding! I have only ever made it once, about 50 years ago.This one is baked in the oven. Don't care for raisin in it, but hubby likes them. Next time, I will put in pistashios and cardamom, like we've had in East Indian restaurant.

When I was studying in Xi'an many years ago, I virtually lived on Roujiamo for lunch and cumin lamb skewers for dinner and never really tired of them. Still have them often, although I'm far from Xi'an now.

 

I also still make other lamb dishes, often with cumin. It pairs so well with the ovine family.
