所有的语言习得(获得)都必须建立在阅读之中(阅读就是不需要依赖母语存在的虚拟语言环境)，而不是反复依赖没有任何语言环境依托只有中文思考的孤立质问“某某某英语怎么说？”之上，否则你学来的东西都会受语言学里的“母语迁移(尤其负迁移)”的干扰和不良影响。最终还是无法脱离母语。

今日主题习得：

1. Well I know we call the strong smell in the mutton the gamey smell or

  aroma or taste. We also call it the odor in the lamb or mutton.

2. If you do not like this offensive smell or odor, you must remove it or

  get rid of it before or when cooking.

3. Seasoning is one of the good way to remove or get rid of this  

  unpleasant smell.

Lamb is a leaner red meat than beef and lets you add variety to traditional chop recipes. Depending on the age and type of your lamb, it can present a more gamey taste and aroma than the beef that you're used to. A few preparation and cooking tips will help you minimize lamb’s gamey aroma while making it and let you and serve tender, delicious chops.

Lamb

Lamb is a good source of zinc, iron, potassium and vitamin B12, according to the Animal Sciences department of Purdue University. Older lamb, known as mutton, and certain breeds, may have a stronger aroma, so talk to your butcher about the types of lamb that he sells and which will have the least odor when cooking.

Preparation

Fat holds flavor as well as odor, so trim as much excess fat as possible before cooking. The less fat that melts into the pan during the cooking process, the less aroma you’ll have in the kitchen. Trim the fat when the meat is cold to make it easier to remove. Let the meat get to room temperature before cooking to allow it to cook evenly and faster.

Salting the meat can remove some of the blood, which is aromatic when it leaves the meat and fries in a pan. Soak the chops in water for 30 minutes to open the pores in the meat. Liberally salt both sides of the chops and let them sit for one hour. Scrape, then rinse, the salt from the meat before cooking. You can also brine the chops by soaking them in a mixture of water, salt and vinegar, then rinsing before serving. Soaking the meat in milk for several hours, or overnight, will also pull some of the blood out of the chops. Rinse the milk and excess blood off the meat before cooking.

Seasoning

Another way to reduce the gamey smell in lamb is to mask it with seasonings. Depending on your dish, you can use sweet or savory herbs and spices. Cinnamon, allspice, ginger and cloves are good choices for sweet dishes. Use herbs such as rosemary, sage, black pepper and time for savory dishes. Garlic has a strong aroma, while a dash of acidic lemon juice, often used to combat the smell of fish, can reduce the aroma in lamb. Using a marinade, such as teriyaki or a combination of soy, ginger and pineapple, will add some steam during the cooking process, but will reduce the gamey flavor and aroma.

Cooking

The less steam that rises from your pan, the less lamb odor you’ll have in your kitchen and house. Cooking lamb with other ingredients, especially water-based vegetables and sauces, will create more steam that’s released into the air.

Cook lamb chops by themselves by brushing them with oil, then seasoning them and putting a sear on each side at the beginning of the cooking process. Heat a skillet to high heat, then place the chops into the pan and let them cook for one minute to create a char on one side, recommends Elias Iglesias, executive chef at Morton’s Steak House in New York City. This will keep flavor and juice inside the meat. Flip the chops after one minute, using a tong or spatula to avoid poking the meat and letting blood run out. Flip one more time and finish cooking to your desired temperature. Covering the pan creates steam that will be released when you raise the lid to flip or finish, but reduces odor while cooking.

If you choose to bake your lamb chops, cover the baking pan in foil. This will keep odor in and help tenderize the meat. Adding vegetables or a sauce won’t be a problem, since the steam will stay in a tightly sealed pan.
