Lamb is my favorite meat.Over the years,I have found that a half shoulder ( the blade ) is the most tastiest because of the layers of fat.Leave it UNCOVERED,on a plate,in the lowest part of the fridge, to dry the skin,for 12 hours.Meanwhile,pop over to your Mums,have a coffee or a sherry,snip a couple of sprigs of her Rosemary,and say your good-byes.
On returning home,pre-heat your oven to gas mark 8,450F,(230c),slam in the lamb,draped in your Mum's sprigs of Rosemary (after giving them a good rinse under a tap to get rid of any animal spray{cat or fox})and give it 30 mins,then turn down the heat to gas mark 4,350F (180c),and time it for 30 mins to the pound (450 g) thereafter.DO NOT BASTE.ADD NOTHING ELSE,NO SALT,NO LEMON,NIX,NADA,NOUT!,apart from a little mint sauce when served on the plate.Discard the Rosemary.It's job is done and will be bone dry/burned.Suculant meat and a georgeous crispy skin gauranteed

Lamb chops......price/pound not worth it IMHO.Only two mouthfulls of meat per chop.Total waste of time.
