Kids are so protected now, but we had some pretty rough and ready country fairs too, and exciting they definitely were. And my grandmother made roast lamb with mint sauce just like this. Nice post.

I couldn’t remember last year how my mum used to make her mint sauce and had a hell of a job tracking down the right combo of ingredients. My mum used to make it by “eye” with not much measuring involved, she would taste it as she went along to see if it needed more sugar or more vinegar! Ahh those were the days!

I was thinking that you would say only thing you look forward to after having such a fun day is to eat delicious food like this!! I’d be so looking forward to going home if this was waiting at the dinner table. Well, for kids, they play even without eating, so that may not work, but what a lovely roast. Meat falls off the bone? Yum… my imagination is busy now. 🙂

I was always in charge of picking the mint and chopping it.
Have a lovely weekend Charlie.

Still to this day, I love fairs of all kinds because they conjure up that same feeling of excitement and expectation I had as a child.

I love the image of that tractor ride 🙂 And this roast looks beautifully traditional – suitable for an English pub even!

We all took vacations by car, travelling for days to get to the destination. Take a plane? Are you nuts? It was good enough to go to the airport once or twice a year to have Sunday breakfast and watch the planes land and take off. And a trip to the county fair was just about the best day ever!
Your lamb roast looks delicious and could have easily been found on our dinner table, Charlie, except there’d be no mint sauce. Mint just wasn’t used in our kitchens and I’ve no experience with it. Thanks for giving me a recipe to try.

I was such a wimp when I was little I don’t remember going on any rides like that. I do remember the thing at Luna park that is a spinning cone and you run to get to the top then get flung off it. I loved that ride!

I’ve never thought to make mint sauce. Silly I know. I might have to give it ago.. could be a good present for my dad he loves mint sauce.
