What's a lamb shank?

I've heard of a ham shank but never a lamb shank.

I've heard of a ham shank but never a lamb shank.usually they are rather large, but very tasty, good in a cassoulet. but these were tiny like lambchops. very unusual.

You will not be disappointed. The small shanks are the best and vey tender. They come from lambs that are under one year. Older sheep, chops, loins, shanks are not as good in my opinion.

Are you sure you are getting LAMB and not mutton? I ask because

a lot of people who have eaten older animals don't care for it...

Apparently the high lanolin content in older meat can make it taste

"off" to people.

Just a thought. Talk to the meat cutter or butcher where you shop.

OH! I dunno....:-3

I've only had it when other people have prepared it...I've had it roasted, and chops and in stew.

I just don't really eat a lot of meat in general!

I love lamb shanks, the meat just falls off the bone. Lovely with mash, peas and loads of onion gravy.
