Because I'm out here in big game country -- I like burgers made from half lamb, half antelope or elk. The lamb is just fatty enough to juice up the game which can make for a dry burger on it's own. I do two varieties -- one with fish sauce and soy sauce and ginger and garlic and sesame oil, and one with garlic and parsley and mint and a Georgian spice blend I got from World Spice in Seattle. Both are gorgeous ... and since I buy my lamb from a local rancher, and my ex-sweetheart still provides me with game, I know all the sourcing.

I make a Gyros Burger that is half Lamb and half beef and Manalive! it's seriously good. Lamb is under appreciated and way underused in the country.

When I was in Amsterdam and the local butcher was out of ground beef, I had ground lamb instead -- and from then on I mostly got ground lamb. It was tasty! Only a little pricier there, but I haven't checked it out here since I got back.
