I'll just characterize one which drove me nuts. I watched the TV version of Leg of Lamb, and saw the picture in the book. Recipe calls for an 8 lb boneless Leg of Lamb, but the picture shows a Leg of Lamb with the bone it it! Such a Leg of Lamb would be HUGE! I saw one. Wouldn't even fit in a large pan. After shopping around to one butcher after another, and finding the only Leg of Lamb with a bone in that would fit in a pan to be between 3-4 lbs, I gave up and bought a large one with no bone. It was OK, but not as tender as I would have liked.
It bugs me when the recipe isn't the same as the presentation. |
