Help me understand lamb with mint jelly

[2 Cycle]

People apparently cook lamb and put minty jelly all over. I don't know what to think here. Any of you people eat that?

It masks the taste of mortal terror the lamb experiences when it's ripped from its mother and killed.

British and Irish tradition when eating roast lamb.
It's really good if you like lamb!

Queen Elizabeth I had a lot to do with having mint accompany lamb to discourage local eaters from eating lamb or mutton as it helped their wool industry.(The Brits actually made it into law not to eat lamb without mint sauce) however Enterprising cooks discovered that mint made the gamey meat taste better not worse.I used to prep/cook it often for clients. By trimming most of the fat off one can minimize that gamey smell, I would marinate the meat overnight with a garlic/mint wet rub, or use an acid like lemon or vinegar. myself not a fan of mint jelly on the lamb, to each their own.

There are things known and things unknown.
In between are doors.

I wouldn‘t open that door if you are not british...

Fascinating, babies are usually so delicious.

While I appreciate everyone's perspective, I'm 50% Lebanese so my answer is somewhat official.

Spoiler: Lamb with mint jelly

Mint jelly is for pussies.
