Roared on down to San Pedro, a part of Los Angeles with a large Serbo-Croatian population and got some cevapcici, skinless ground lamb sausage.

They were supposed to be good on the grill.

They were! The perfect thing to eat outside among the palms.

I had some onion and flatbread with mine. And also whole-wheat hotdog buns and cheese.

Both good.

(Urk!)

How about some recipes?

Might as well eat Mediterranean, since this is a Med climate.

Actually this recipe is very widespread in the eastern mediterranean basin in several variations, where the plains of Texas or the moist lowlands of western Europe or even the moist valleys in the alpine region simply are absent. Meaning further NO PASTURE LAND suitable for cows and calfs and therefore no steak, no burger. Only available red meat was this from sheeps  and the equivalent for a burger was the cevapcici or kebab or seftalia or with whatever other name. But the main concept is always ground meat from sheeps. And because further this meat has a strange intense taste, they were used in the mix also spices for covering up this taste and for preservation as well. I remember an American friend, who, whenever he was in Greece and in Europe overall, used (very wisely for himself) never to order in the restaurants steaks but instead to order always lamb cutlets (cotelette d' agneau). In other countries those animal parts are roasted on burning charcoal and in other countries (like Provence in France)  parts of a hogget or a mutton are stewed after spending some days dipped in a marinade made of local herbs like rosmarin and others. But again  the general concept remains the same, to hide the strange taste and smell that is. But the original need developed eventually, as it happens also in many other cases, to a culinary art!

What makes me daydreaming about roasted lamb...

Looks like there is a "Lot" of fat in them Dave, but the grill should have reduced that quite a bit. I think I'll go and cook a nice Big T Bone :)   Pete

Agree, but it should not be overlooked the fact, that in older times this was supposed to be the ONLY available and unhealthy animal fat in those areas. The mostly used fat otherwise was the vegetable fat in olive oil, which is a healthy fat.

Yes, back in the "Old times" , its 2016 and animal fats are not at all good for you, they are good for "adding" to heart attack risk.. The only lamb I eat now are Lamb steaks which has "no" visible fats, they look just like Cattle's Rib eye fillets..   Pete :)

Well... in the old times beef in Europe used also to be free from antibiotics, hormones, fish meal (and maybe also canibalism) but NOT anymore! You see issue "healthy nutrition" has many aspects, ah of course also the bio-ethical aspect because of the way calves usually are raised in Europe! Another example of the multiplicity of aspects will be in the near future fish consume on the west coast of northern America because of the water contamination in the Pacific (I wish it never happens though). BTW imported seeweed leaves (for sushi preparation) were withdrawn from the Greek market (this is OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT by a govermental service), because they were found to contain to much iode. Besides fat in older animals than very young lambs is not diffused among tissues but it is rather concetrated. So it is up to every connaisseur, whether he/she can resist to this delicacy and restrict pleasure only on non fatty tissues. Of course latter is applied only on whole meat parts and not ground meat...

Konstantinos, most of them can't understand lifestyle in our neck of woods. Two totally different dimensions. I would myself always pick a handful of lard and cup of Oil oil than beef from commercial maket. Our food culture is something they can't understand.

They were a lot fattier than I generally eat, but the grill burned most of it off. It certainly flared enough.

Very good! A nice American invention, at least for late November. With gravy, some cut corn, good. Leftovers just as good. Along with stuffing, made with seasoned bread, etc.

Naah, I just hope this isn't general opinion.
