Well, I am the cook in the family, so when I went to the farmers market and saw these beautiful lamb balls, we gave it a try. They were delicious, but frankly, I would have thought, they have a stronger taste.
We love our lamb meat farmer, you can taste the freshness and that the animals had no fear or stress before they were slaughtered. This sounds awful, but if I have to eat meat, I like to eat something, that has been treated well before.

Sunshine You are so right. All my neighbours are farms, and whilst I enjoy lamb I actually would rather eat mutton, or goat. Its strange to me but my neighbours don't eat their own meat. They trade with their friends.
It may be a cultural thing because I was raised to be self sufficient. Treat with respect and give thanks to whichever deity is appropriate for yourself.
It seem a bit odd considering my career history, but my personal inclination is (where possible) don't kill it unless you are going to eat it.
I lived in SouthWest Texas for a little over a year and they use to have a Mountain Oyster Cookoff in Big Springs Texas. Their slogas was" Have A Ball At The Mountain Oyster Cookoff". Don't know about lamb, but bull are very good if cooked properly.
Ever wondered who was the first person to say, "Hey, let's eat those."
I've helped castrate farm animals before...and basically it comes to this, don't throw anything usable away! If your castrating 10 or 100 animals there are pounds of meat being cut. If you drop them in a bucket you have dinner.

YOU have dinner.
At best I might be able to grind them up for the chum bucket. Even then it would make me wince.

That is so wrong. Sunshine chastise him. I looked in expecting to find a graduated sequence of copper or stainless expansion chambers.
