LAMB SHANKS

[FoxLee2]

i've got some lamb shanks for dinner tonight - not done them before so googled a recipe. I know I have to brown them before slow cooking in oven. Can you tell me if I have to remove the thick skin/white fat covering them first or will they then fall apart before even cooking. Thanks for any answers

Bit far for me as I am in deepest Cornwall.....as to the "copy" marks I guess it is a question of the convention that has evolved - and may well be American.

The small shops are open. I'm off to get a nice half shoulder of lamb.

[ummmm]

I have leg of lamb, roasties, cauliflower cheese and carrots :-)

[mike11111]

I wouldn't thank you for leg of lamb. Give me shoulder any time. Melts in the mouth.

Have you got far to come murraymints - do you want a lift from the station? Any special dessert you'd like? I'm doing a banana meringue but I've got the rest of the day to come up with other things.

Hey Foxlee!

Add me to the list please :-)

Not far to come at all for me, just down the A1 and can visit my dad & Nan tooo as they are both in Borehamwood!

Spent many years growing up there :-)

So where were you all? Masses of food left over. Shanks turned out really well and were greatly enjoyed. Sons only just gone home and I'm off to bed.
