Any of you guys ever cooked Lamb Kleftiko, or any kind of slow-cooked lamb dish?

Thinking of doing it for Christmas and want to practice at least a couple of times before then to try and perfect it (for 4 people).

Any recommendations on best part of lamb to use? Tips while cooking i.e. spices to use, time to cook, any nifty tricks would be appreciated . We do like our food quite spicy so will be adding Indian spices to it as standard... 

We slow-cooked lamb shanks for Easter once, but my contribution to that was watching someone who's a professional cook do it, so I'm not much of a help there

Lamb Shanks are one of my favourite meals...

Oh yeah, there's always leftovers because we always over-order . Rather than that not have anything left!

There's always so much variety and choice with Chinese restaurants. Love having any of tea-smoked chicken, chicken satay in peanut butter sauce, barbeuce spare ribs, chicken in black bean sauce, sesame prawn toast in addition to the duck...

I usually get beef or seafood...

I've taken up a semi passion for cooking during 2020. And i'm always looking for new things to learn/attempt to cook 

@nudge Some of the dishes you've posted look delicious! 

Did a classic 'Sunday dinner'  yesterday, Chicken in a garliccy/lemony butter, honey roasted vegetables etc etc etc ...  i spent hours on it, just for me and my daughter. Only for her to turn her nose up at it and say "smelly fooood daddee" and hardly eat any.

2 question regarding desserts, what do you hate in desserts? Favors you feel wreck the taste. For me it's ginger or lemon, fucking hate them in desserts.

What's the most overrated dessert/pudding in your eyes? For me it's apple crumble. Never saw the fascination with it.

I'm one of those weirdos who don't like desserts altogether.

I only really like chocolate-based desserts or various cheesecake flavours. Anything else and I'd rather just have more of a main course haha.

The only dessert I like is yogurt on fresh berries. Everything else I can eat, but I'd rather not. I just don't like sweet taste at all; in fact sugary foods make me nauseated. Even worse if it's sweet and fat. Looking at you, whipped cream *puke* also honey is vile.

When you say whipped cream I take it you are talking about that watery shit straight out of the can??? I love fresh cream cakes I have to say YUMM!! 

@DeadLinesman likes whipped cream as well, just before he has a shave..

Gajarela freshly made is awesome.

Whipped cream has other good uses

Like licking it off ladies feet?

Gone potty on these fuckers, the wife gets them for wee Kaiden as he loves them, well, that's me hooked and the vanilla flavoured ones with the chocolate balls mixed in are fab. 

[Stan]

Good choice @CaaC (John). 

I like those and also the banana and chocolate flake ones. 

Not sure it's cooking, though

Couldnt find a food thread so just put it in here.

The banana and chocolate flake ones are just as good too.
