It's skinned, the kidney fat and feet are removed as a gift to the Kohen, and it is roasted whole over the fire, on a pomegranate spit from the mouth to the butthole. It's doused with some kind of oil, either trumah (for kohanim) or maaser sheni (for the rest of us). and roasted whole. Not as just ribs. With the hindquarters intact. I don't remember seder Kodshim all that well - is this normal for korbanot, to not need treibering (nikkur)? It certainly wouldn't require kashering, as cooking over an open flame doesn't require kashering.<br />

<p>Not sure how many a whole lamb would feed, probably depends on the dressed weight of the lamb.</p>aliza commented on 'Adventures in authentic seasonal food'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5505235c288342006-04-10T20:54:48Z2008-02-14T04:43:27Zalizahttp://alizapalooza.blogspot.com/I'm salivating.

Here is a story you would appreciate - when I was a toddler, my dad used to take me and my siblings and identify the animals not by there sounds, but by what cuts of meat you could get from them. Thankfully, my father's chinuch paid off and my husband is proud of his wife who will happily consume a rare steak at any opportunity. My dream is to one day have a barbeque like the one you described above...Chag Sameach!</p>Old Mother Goose commented on 'Adventures in authentic seasonal food'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5505236b788342006-04-10T20:31:20Z2008-02-14T04:43:36ZOld Mother Goosejlmkobi - oy oy oy<p>jlmkobi - oy oy oy</p>jlmkobi commented on 'Adventures in authentic seasonal food'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503eab7888332006-04-10T19:52:26Z2008-02-14T04:43:29Zjlmkobianother version 'mary had a little lamb, her doctor was surprised but when old mcdonald had a farm he couldn't...<p>another version<br />

She thought of course that the birds which were shot on her estate would delight him. Not knowing that in order for him to consume food - the food has to be killed by a shochet etc. He sent her a nice thank you letter, but left me to find a way to get rid of the birds. I offered them to a non Jewish colleauge of his - who was thrilled. Weeks later same colleague reported to me that 'once I plucked the birds, it was easy sailing, all I did is cover the bird with butter and roast it... </p>

<p>I understand that in other denominations roasted meat or lamb is ok in order to commemorate the sacrificial times, as opposed to not being permitted until the Temple is rebuilt. Facinating differences amoungst Jews at this time ofyear. Kitniyot, no kitniyot, gebrochts, no gebrochts.</p>

<p>Also, how come nobody remembers that the Passover offering could also be a goat? Don't get me wrong; I love me some lamb chops, but I'm really curious to find out how goat tastes.
