Lamb flaps — popular street food in Papua New Guinea. Unwanted in the Western world inexpensive cuts became a delicious PNG classic.
With my recent discovery of fry bread in Arizona, its history and meaning, parallels with flaps are obvious — people are making silk purses out of sow’s ears all over the world.
No mumu or oil-drum on a snowy afternoon in the northern US of A.
We spiced up the bits with chili, curry, turmeric, soy sauce and stewed them with corn, carrots, green plantains, and kaukau.
Served PNG street style with loads of green herbs they presented a nice dichotomy with the snowflakes dancing outside the window.
Working on the bones warmed us up. Tasty and interesting!
