I've had a request from the glw.

[Sir C]

Of course. But mint and lamb do work together - hence the prevalence of dried mint in Greek and Middle Eastern lamb dishes.

Besides, the French serve shoulder of lamb with capers and vinegar for the same reason. You wouldn't say 'lose the capers', though, would you?

I like capers. I like the little, delicate capers. I like the fat capers. I even like the caperberries. But they are, essentially, vinegar delivery vehicles.
