Is there a word to describe the strong smell of lamb?
AnswersThe smell and taste associated with lamb has been described as "gamey", pronounced gāy'mē. Having the flavor and odor of game (wild prey animals).
As the diet of sheep and goats have been known to include any type of plant, and they get more exercise than most domestic animals, their meat is usually more muscular and of a darker hue due to excellent blood circulation. This exercise and subsequent circulation makes it necessary for these highly used muscles to be fed a broader spectrum of nutrients taken from the diverse diet, thus the meat gets a gamier flavor and odor.
If you wish to tone down the gaminess of lamb or goat, I suggest the addition of a variety of sour applesauce (granny smith or mackintosh) and cinnamon to the recipe. Advice from a New Zealander As a New Zealander who has cooked a lot of lamb, I find the best herbs and spices to add to lamb while it is cooking are, salt and pepper, rosemary and garlic (garlic can be sliced and placed deeply into the meat before cooking by piercing the meat with a knife). We wouldn't have apple sauce with lamb, but make a gravy from the pan juices or have a mint sauce to accompany the lamb. These additions especially the rosemary will cover a lot of the gamy smell of lamb cooking. Hope this helps! On the lighter side...Yes how's about the word yum! On the American side...American lamb doesn't smell gamy. My father was a 'big game hunter'; he and his friends were overjoyed when they could bring home a deer. Now, that's gamy. The lamb and mutton that were purchased locally and cooked at home had no gamy smell. Americans are very fond of lamb chops, often eaten without fancy seasonings. The smell of lamb that Americans cook can be described as nice to savory, depending on the seasonings used.

Most American call a big shrimp a prawn and enjoy eating them deep fried, and covered in batter like coconut prawns. The truth is that in all other English speaking parts of the world, they are all called prawns no matter what the size. As long as we are adding culinary preferences, Thai people like to barbecue them and eat the whole thing, including the head. Actually they chew up the heads and spit out the shells and gills.
Answer
Prawns are shrimp-like crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata. Prawns are distinguished from shrimp by the gill structure which is branching in prawns. In various forms of English, the name 'prawn' is often applied to shrimp as well, generally the larger species are reffered to as prawns.
-A shrimp generally originates from saltwater and a prawn lives in fresh water. In some American grocery stores they sometimes call a large shrimp with the head attached a prawn but they are not. Prawns and shrimp are different
It needs to be cooked thoroughly because of the fact that it's been minced (processed). The processing, especially if performed unrefrigerated, allows for both the introduction of contaminants such as bacteria, as well as the propagation of any bacteria present. Processing also allows any bacteria on the surface of the food to be transferred to the interior where it is more difficult to destroy with cooking heat. Salmonella, E-coli, etc., are present in most foods in relatively harmless numbers but given the opportunity provided by processing (presence of more heat, air, mechanical movement), can spread and multiply rapidly to harmful levels.
Meat is not eaten on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during Lent. Catholics (at least 14 years old) in the United States are obliged to abstain from the eating of meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during the season of Lent. Catholics (from 18 to 60 years old) are also obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday. Self-imposed observance of fasting on all weekdays of Lent is strongly recommended.

Does Taco Bell meat have sand?
Short Answer, No.
Long Answer, Kinda.
Taco Bell adds Silica, also known as Silicon Dioxide. Silicon Dioxide is the most abundant mineral found in the Earth's crust. Silica is found most common as sand or quartz.
Silica is used in the production of glass, fiber optics, porcelain, stoneware, and concrete.
Silica is also commonly added in the production of foods where it is used to absorb water. In Taco Bell's case they use Silica to reduce moisture and keep the meat from clumping together.
Silicon an essential trace element commonly found in the form of Silica helps to guard against Alzheimer's disease, Osteoporosis, and Dementia.
Silicon is also needed for proper bone, cartilage, and tissue health. A deficiency of Silicon can lead to weak bones, tendonitis, bone decalcification, and cardiovascular disease.
Foods rich in Silica/Silicon are Dark Green Leafy Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts, Seeds, and Berries.
Fun Fact: In 1999 the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory launched a spacecraft named "Stardust" which used a Silica based aero gel to collect comet dust from comet Wild 2 named after the Swiss astronomer Paul Wild who discovered it in 1978. Stardust returned to Earth in 2006 traveling over 2.5 Billion miles during its journey through outer space.

Which book revealed shocking secrets about the meat packing industry?
PETA aka People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
No, they don't kill dogs for hot dogs, in hot dogs there are sausages, and sausages are pigs. Dogs have nothing to do with hot dogs. ------------------------------- A hot dog is made predominantely from the meat and fat of pigs and/or cows. It's usually about 95%, depending on the manufacturer. The remaining percentage consists of a finely ground mixture of scraps. (It can be anything from bones to tongue to organs, etc.) This also applies to "mystery meats" such as spam, bologna, etc.
Like almost every other food, salami is fine in moderation. As long as you do not over due it with the salami, you will be fine. Remember, salami is made from pork and different parts that come from pork. It tastes delicious but can be quite fattening. Therefore, I recommend that you eat it with some veggies on the side (perhaps in a sandwich) to kind of balance out the "good and the bad food."

Koegel's has been around for 100 years and they are responsible for pickled bologna madness that Michiganders have become known for.

What do you call meat eating animals?
"Meat-eating" humans are just known as omnivores because of the inclusion of meat along with plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Some of the more extremist vegans like to call such humans this natural diet "meat-eaters" because of their distaste and need to highlight the fact that such people eat meat and they do not. If a human truly was a "meat-eater," he or she would be predominantly a carnivore. Vegans/vegetarians are those who do not eat meat.
Horse meat is simply horse meat; it is not any other "kind" of meat. It can be described as "red" meat, like beef, as opposed to chicken, that is called "white" meat. Horse meat is generally regarded as unfit for human consumption in the United States because unlike bovines, pigs, sheep and goats, horses are considered companion animals, much like dogs and cats.
