Seinfeld

Something should be mentioned about the episode where Jerry is on a diet and is forced to eat mutton by a date of his. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.231.86 (talk • contribs)

I definitely agree! I tried to add this and wikipedia immediately deleted it, saying that it wasn't relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.75.87.60 (talk • contribs)

Easter and the Last Supper

Lamb is eaten all year round, there are many mideastern restaurants which serve it every day. The claim that it's most commonly eaten on Easter is wrong. There is even some argument about whether the Last Supper was a Passover (in which case they would have eaten lamb), or if it was vegetarian.

Cuts of lamb

This looks like a good addition.

Constructive comments ...

Rather than using the picture colours to explain the jargon, it would be nice to explain in plain English (Wikipedia articles are supposed to be clear in the text rather than needed the image to be undertood, for accessibility)

Also would be useful to include at least one other country's classification. quota (talk)
