Interesting article, wasn't familiar with the history of Spaniards bringing the animals over to the americas. I grew up eating lamb on special occasions and it makes more sense as my grandma is from Madrid. Have always found lamb to be "gamey" and have raised sheep as well which were particularly so. I would previously prefer to eat goat whenever possible but don't have any good reason for it - it does have a more neutral flavor.

I think many Americans are probably robbed of food breadth and just default to "boneless skinless".
