Most Americans don't eat sheep either. Lamb is a rare luxury here unless you know a sheep farmer. But it IS about race/class and about it being something brown people eat, unfortunately. They're missing out!

I realize I'm only saying my family history but we've eaten lamb and goat. Goat has been much rarer but lamb has always been in rotation, especially for holidays/something fancy.

This is... Not my experience. Our local Vons carries lamb chops, leg of lamb, and ground lamb which I'm glad for because I like to eat it?
