Slowly roasted lamb bones fill my flat with deep rich aromas that can only come when there is a good amount of fat with muscle and bone.

If you go over to My Thoughts and Stuff you’ll come across a post about how I desire mutton flaps. That story will put this recipe into context.

Questions and answers

Why lamb bones?

You need to see the Mutton Flaps post on My Thoughts and Stuff

Why packet mashed potato?

It’s like microwave rice, it’s quick, easy and convenient. It doesn’t taste too bad either.

Is there anything else?

Well yes. I’ve been noticing some strange online behaviour here with odd comments. Basically spam but not in the usual spam structure. No links and no abuse, but the comments seemed to be from random people who I had not reached out to and who didn’t seem engaged with the blog. When I saw it I would remove it. I thought the safest thing to do would be to moderate all comments so I had a greater level of control.
Of more concern, I’ve also had a sort of reverse problem with some good (online) friends not being able to comment and their words ending up in my spam folders. I hope by increasing the control I have over comments, this problem will be ameliorated.

Trolls

This raises the issue of online trolls. I’ve been really fortunate that the number of times I’ve been trolled on my personal sites has not been huge. That said it does happen and it’s never pleasant.

When online, I usually write with trolls in mind. I’m not wanting to be controversial and if I have anything controversial to write I’ll try to couch it carefully.

Who would think, that even on a food blog there would be trolls out to gang up on Yummy Lummy?

Spam

It remains a constant problem and what I don’t get is with good anti-spam products like Akismet, why do spammers bother. Unlike the tasty canned pork product, I hate online spam, especially now malware and ransomware are becoming more common.

If anyone has ever sent me an e-mail and I’ve not responded, I’m sorry. Unless I know you, I’ll probably delete the e-mail.

  1. It sounds great Yummy, but I’ve never seen packages of meat like this in any of our grocery stores around here – any hints?

    1. All I can suggest is asking a local butcher to set aside some lamb offcuts. They need to be a little fatty so the low slow cooking doesn’t dry out the meat.
