What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child? |
| Lin Yutang |
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

24 hours beforehand, make the stuffing. Chop the apricot coarsely,
mix with breadcrumbs and chopped onions. Melt the butter, pour over,
add honey, salt, pepper and thyme. Mix well together, then mix in
beaten egg.
Make marinade by mixing all the ingredients together.
Bone or have boned the lamb. (Tunnel bone for stuffing). Stuff the
cavity loosely. Sew up the opening. Put lamb in a polythene bag long
enough to hold it comfortably. Add bones. Pour over the marinade, tie
the top with a bag seal, sucking out excess air. Stand in a bowl (to
catch leaks). Marinade overnight, turning from time to time.
Preheat oven to 350øF (Mk 4). Remove lamb from marinade and dry well.
Drain marinade and fry vegetables in roasting pan very briefly. Place
lamb on top and roast 25 mins/lb oven ready weight. Baste frequently
with marinade while cooking. Meanwhile make a little lamb stock from
bones.
When done, take out of oven, Remove strings from joint and leave
to rest 15 mins while making the gravy, then carve crosswise. For the
gravy, remove vegetables from roasting tin, pour off roasting
juices, leaving 2 tbs fat in pan. Fry 2 tbs flour in this, return
aqueous part of roasting juices and remaining marinade. Add lamb
stock if needed. Season to taste.
