Hi Megan: I’ve never seen lamb ribs for sale; only lamb chops and ground lamb. Lamb chops are sooooo expensive, yikes: $18 for a package of 6 or 8. But they’re imported from New Zealand, so that explains the cost I suppose.

I’ve never heard of lamb ribs either! I LOVE lamb though, so I’m sure they are delicious. I’m not even sure if we can buy lamb ribs in the States!

I’m rather like you not just cos we both love chicken and are Chinese, but I love plain baked or steamed corn. I like corn with butter on it as well, but I reckon the best way to enjoy it is to have it just as it is. I do like to have a dab of butter on my baked potatoes though.

Corn on the cob MUST have butter…UNLESS you live in the states and have access to picked-that-day, local Bodacious or Butter-and Sugar farm corn and a steamer. Then (but i know you won’t believe me…)it does NOT need butter (or salt, or pepper, or garlic) because the corn is soooo tender and sweet and bursty and heavenly-tasting that butter is just gilding the lily! But since you seem to be such a nice person I will let you put butter on it anyway. I love being an American if for no other reason than for fresh corn. My neighbor from Latvia hates corn because “is food only for animals”. And she is partly right, because my cat begs for it when she smells it cooking!

I don’t think I have ever heard of lamb ribs.
Do you not eat butter and sour cream on your potato? That is a must for me when I have a baked potato!

I’ve never had lamb ribs before but they look delicious! They do look tiny though.

Lamb ribs…well, why not? :-) In the States it’s always pork ribs of course. I’m not a fan of ribs, but your meal like usual looks fantastic. Your guests are lucky!

As for corn on the cob, I can’t imagine it without butter (and salt)! My home state is Iowa, aka “The Tall Corn State.” The most succulent and tender corn is grown there; cattle are fed it. Corn-fed beef is the best; my aunt moved to Nevada in the early 1960s and saw folks there lining up for beef shipped via truck from Iowa.

The potato: Must have sour cream too. ;-)
