In reply to Audrey. The mint originally accompanied lamb to aid digestion.

In reply to Valerie Chardon. Thank you so much, Valerie. May your festivities be a success! My husband's father often moans about the price of lamb in Canada as well, he adores it... Such a shame.

My mouth is watering after seeing all this wonderful food. My husband of 55 years was from France and I
often attempted many of these recipes. Lamb was one of our favorites but sadly it has become unaffordable
here in Canada. So chicken it will be with one of your delicious desserts. Thanks for the memories and have
a Happy Easter!

In reply to Maude. Merci, Maude, I appreciate the support. Gooey butter cake sounds absolutely delicious, and the name says it all! Once I hear butter, my anttenae go straight up :)

I already receive the newsletter and I love it. I can’t wait to try some of these recipes. I made the King cake and it is very similar to what we call gooey butter cake here in the “French” city of St. Louis.

Funny how certain memories come right back, isn’t it? I love leg of lamb, but I have never tried it with mint jelly. I’ve heard of it, and I’ve even seen a jar in the store in Canada, but I had absolutely no ides what people did with it. Apparently it goes very well with lamb, but it remains to this day a mystery for me.

I’m glad you enjoyed the post, Hannah. And hope you’ll have a wonderful Easter 🙂

I loved reading this. When I was little, here in Maine, we used to have leg of lamb for Easter, with mint jelly. I forgot about it as somehow we switched to ham. I will try some things from your suggestions
