Most people like it! The story goes that in medieval times when wool was an important English export, the law makers wanted to discourage the eating of lamb, so they said it had to be eaten with bitter herbs, and people used mint as it was the least bitter. Another idea is that in olden times it wouldn't have been lamb but mutton, and mint helped with the strong taste and greasiness.

Name some best sauces for lamb steak?

I know two great really simple accompaniments to plain lamb. For a roasted leg of lamb, if you didn't put anything on it while it was cooking, serve it with this sauce: get apple jelly if it's still around: it's a transparent light green. It may come with a mint flavor. If it doesn't, add some mint flavoring or leaves to it. I've seen other sauce recipes using pineapple or oranges, and they usually include mint. For a nice lamb chop topping, broil the chops till almost done. Make a paste of butter and Parmesan cheese and spread thickly over the top surface. Finish broiling. Joan P.
