Today is ROAST LEG OF LAMB DAY which takes me back to my good old Cabrito days in Reynosa, Mexico.
For those of you who haven't been in that part of the world, Cabrito is king in Monterrey, Mexico and the state of Nuevo Leon.
The whole carcass of a goat kid is slowly cooked, on a spit, over a bed of glowing charcoal and seasoned with onion, garlic and green chilies.
John L., Katherine and I used to go across the border to Reynosa for this tasty delight about once a month. With some ice cold beer, to wash it down, and a mariachi band playing in the background, you think you've died and gone to heaven!
One wouldn't, ordinarily, think of lamb when you think of Mexico but it was Jewish immigrants who founded the city of Monterrey which, of course, is why lamb is a must in that city and the state its in.
