Hi Dale,

 RH> Could be that's why your dad had nuttin' to do with mutton. (G) The
 RH> last night on board ship on our last cruise one of the offerings for
 RH> dinner was a balsamic glazed (forget what else went into it) lamb
 RH> shank. It sounded good so we both ordered it. When they came out, I
 RH> took one bite and sent it back--could be because I was coming down with
 RH> the bronchitis that it just didn't taste right to me. OTOH, Steve
 RH> enjoyed his. I got a shrimp stir fry instead.

 DS> I have had both pork shank and lamb shank.  The pork was at a
 DS> restaurant called Macoroni Grill, which unfortunately closed up 5-10
 DS> years ago.

We tried a Macaroni Grill down in Raleigh soon after moving to Wake
Forest. Being less than impressed, we never went back nor noticed its
closing.

 DS> The building was torn down and another restaurant put in its place.
 DS> The lamb was at a Greek restaurant not to far from where we are
 now. DS> That DS> place is very good.  First time we went there we
 could not understand DS> the conversation one table over.  It was Greek
 to us:-}}

(G) We've always enjoyed Greek food, as well as foods from other parts
of that region. Steve had a year of classical Greek in seminary but I
don't think he could interpret much of that, or modern Greek, today.
