What does lamb taste like?

My DIL is having an Easter dinner and my son said he wants lamb. I’m like, “WHAT?? The kid who is afraid of fish stix wants lamb??”

I’ve only had it once, and it was not a good experience. When I was 14 I had a boyfriend. We came from two wildly different socio-economic classes, not that it made any difference to me.

His mom invited me for dinner once. She served lamb. With mint jelly. I think she served it thinking that’s what upper class people eat, and she was trying to impress me.

It was horrible! The whole thing was all bad, but I minded (mound? manned?) my manners.

I don’t know if lamb is horrible, or I didn’t like it because it was something I’d never had before (and I’ve always been bad about new food) or perhaps she was a bad cook.
