I knew historically lamb and sheep have fallen out of favor in North America in favor of pork and beef, but I didn't realize there was actually an aversion to it for some people now. How interesting.
I'm just one online skeleton, but I started eating lamb when I learned it's a sorta sustainable byproduct of wool production. Mostly off beef for opposite reason.
It's not always taste: for many, it's like veal "how can you eat a baby x?"
The program leader was British & liked lamb & liked the dish. I told her about reactions. She was floored. I told her it wasn't surprising and that was exactly why I cooked it. She disliked me even more afterwards 😆
