Is there a reason Lauren's age is half yours in the ad?
@@mouseherald8434because he wants to remain married and not put this wives age on the Internet:)
I'm disappointed that they give the same exact offer if you visit their website without following a link. If it's always 20% off for everyone, that just means that the list price is meaningless.
Thank you for a respectful conversation. I was going to leave a comment mentioning that Protestants emphasize the symbolism of Jesus as a lamb in contrast to the Catholic views but you got there yourself at the end. Again, thanks for the conversation.

Early on in my relationship, I spent Easter with my deeply religious in-laws. Lunchtime came, and my innocent secular ass asked, "What's up with the poodle cake?" Dear reader, the cake was supposed to look like a lamb. So, from now on we have "poodle cake" every Easter, and I'll never hear the end of it.
In fairness, a poodle and a sheep look quite similar in cake form.
In Poland we often give children little lambs made out of sugar, and i think i was like 12 before i made a connection that it's a lamb and not a poodle.

Semi-retirement Ragusea has some of the most refreshing content I've seen in months

Agreed. He's never been one of those UA-camrs that's churned out vids without care or reason, but it really seems like he's just doing what he feels like, and it's a nice reminder of how engaging and curious a personality he is.
This. Every bit of it. 🏆
This was my favorite episode in a long time. Probably because there are only so many food videos I’m willing to watch and this topic is very interesting and less often discussed on UA-cam. I love learning religious ACTUAL history. Not what’s taught by the church or bible (or equivalent of whatever religion) but what actually happened
Adam needs a fireplace so he can go "oh hey. Didnt see you there"
Also if he did that Mister Rogers thing of switching from a blazer to a cardigan and from leather work shoes to sneakers that would be kinda cool too
Yeah, I mean, it's a classic for a reason.
He did kinda do this in his video "The Next Phase of Our Relationship"
Laughed too hard for this 😂
Speaking as someone who was brought up on a farm with a lot of sheep, I was told from early in my life that "The good Lord in his wisdom and mercy giveth us lambs half of which are female and half of which are male, but the males have no commercial value." The females do have commercial value as they can produce more lambs next year and can produce milk and cheese too. To feed the males is costly, not to mention that rams (tups) get very aggressive as they mature into adolescence - as I can vouch for. Therefore, it makes perfect economic sense to "re-cycle" the young males in Spring when there is a glut of them. Sorry about this, but it is a reality of farming that has been known about for millenia.
Do they now provide the sperm for bb lambs?
@@Saitaina No. Around me sheep farms keep a stock of around 5 to 7 of the healthiest rams. These are sufficient to do the job.
@@Saitaina They do, but you don't need a lot of rams to fertilize a lot of ewes. There's no benefit in maintaining the natural 50/50'ish split for reproductive purposes.
I'm surprised Adam didn't explicitly mention the Scapegoat - another biblical reference - when he got so very close to it right there at the end talking about the sacrificial lamb.
Scapegoat is for a different time of year, I guess. Also, you don't eat the scapegoat. You send it into the desert to die.
@@NostraDavid2yeah, it’s a different animal and different sacrifice.
@@NostraDavid2 The Binding of Isaac-Genesis 22. Abraham uses a goat for sacrifice instead of his own first born son when he didn't have a lamb....scapegoat is used in the same way in Leviticus just with different methods. Everything is the same but the method of death.

Just an aside. Farmer's daughter. Remembering the ritual of docking lamb's tails (for their health). Which also meant the ritual campfire cooked lamb's tails. Putting aside the area the tail is located next too (I mean we eat chicken eggs soooo...) - lamb's tails = delicious.
Yes they are .. But how come Lambs in the US don't have a Fat Cap on the tail like Lambs in the Middle East (where I encountered Lamb for the first time)
A lot of bits of good meat are next to digestive organs, that's why we sear steaks on the outside, but don't really care about the inside, to avoid any kind of fecal contamination that may have gotten on the meat.
Because most lambs raised in the West are breeded for wool rather than meat, and wool can get infested with fly maggots and other vermin if they keep a long tail covered with their own poop.
Also fat tailed sheep comes from places where grass is more scarce so they store tons of fat on their bums, an issue sheep from greener pastures don't have. @@jonjohns8145
@@jonjohns8145 Fat-tailed sheep are bred to provide halal fat and survive long shortages of grass in the desert.
@@argon7624 With a Good butcher, there would not be any contamination on the inside, certainly nothing that a little washing wouldn't get rid of. No the real reason why most people today don't eat offal is because they don't have to. Meat is abundant that people feel ok "wasting" the insides. Unless they eat them as delicacies.
8:34 when you said "The main reason I'm going to roast some lamb on Sunday is..." my brain followed it up with Chaim Topol belting out "TRADITIOOOOOOOON!" which felt fitting, given the topic.
Tradition!
Why does mother nature make it that the cuter it is, the more delicious it tastes?
Young animals are adorable because they have features we associate with human babies/children, which we evolved to find very cute and want to protect for obvious reasons. But that's also when they're the most tender because their muscles haven't had time to toughen with use and age, and generally young animals have much more fat throughout their body because they have such high energy requirements from needing to, you know, grow up. This applies to human babies too, that's why their so fat until they start walking around and then it just seems to melt off them and they turn into sticks.
It is interesting. Humans are predators and predators go after the week, which includes the young. However, we are also social animals with particularly vulnerable young, so we see youth as a thing to be protected. Quite the conflict, but if the human mind is good at one thing, it's compartmentalizing.
@@pendlera2959just gotta say i love both of the approaches in the current two responses to this comment
Young animals and vegetables tend to be much tastier/more tender across the board, vegetables being the one that people don't think about as much
@@nahum3557 It makes sense, considering that as one gets larger it takes proportionally more structural tissue to support their increased size. Square cube law and allat. And unfortunately structural tissue doesn't really taste or feel very good to eat (unless you boil it for a few hours of course)
Adam, as a Christian I appreciate the care you took in creating this video. Even though you don’t have the faith. I can tell you paid attention when you went to mass or studied it on your own time.

I swear Adam is the master of sneaky sponsor transitions.
He is indeed a master, but ZeFrank is right up there with him. Yesterday, on his new True Facts video about shrimp and the services they perform, he did this for his VPN sponsor: "The cleaner shrimp of the internet."
As a Christian, I just wanted to thank you, Adam, for the care, respect, and overall accuracy of this video!!
The videos are only getting more wonderful since semi-retirement, Adam! Love everything you do!
I'm tellin ya. The retirement was a ruse! 😂
He probably had all these in the works! Not complaining though!!!
what retirement?
It was an effort to relieve the pressure that he feels, and a preemptive strike on the inevitable harassment in the comments to make more videos or specific videos, should he feel the need to slow down or do whatever topic he felt like.
Or it just better to work for fun, than because he has to. He used to be religious about posting regularly and on time. Now he can skip a week if he wants to and is allowing himself to make videos he enjoy without worrying about the viewership. His semi-retirement is more of a thing that he cares about, than the viewers care about.

Adam, you never fail to surprise me with the sponsor and often leave me disappointed with myself for not seeing it coming.

Most Jews don't eat lamb on Passover, though. I'm actually surprised to read just now that some sephardim actually do.
Indeen. From it's founding, Jacob was a Shepard. As we're his son's - the 12 tribes. Moses, King David... They were all Shepards.
@@smlb1352I'm Reform myself. It's just what I was born and raised in.
I think the Passover celebration explanation for why lamb at Passover makes a lot of sense, I will note that the passion narrative of Holy Week takes place on Passover (the specific date people tend to gravitate towards is next week for the Last Supper), and the story of the last supper being a Seder is as old if not older than the gospels themselves. An anthropologically significant holiday can also be religiously significant, if one believes in a single God, it is more meaningful that a religious feast coincides with a feast of material necessity, it “points towards God” even in the mundane, as a theologian would say
Well yes. In traditional study, the readings for the Holy Week specify that Jesus came into Jerusalem for Passover, a requirement of all Jewish males. The events of today, Holy Thursday, the Last Supper, are described by Apostles Matthew, Luke, and Mark as being a Passover meal.
There is also the argument that eating lamb at Easter is symbolic of consuming the Eucharist
@dddmakbema1421 one minute into the video and I would be disappointed if this isn't mentioned. "The lamb of God takes away the sins of the world"--by dying and being transubstantiated in the Eucharist!
It does bug me that so many people associate the Last Supper with Passover when, during Jesus's time, Passover looked *nothing* like it does today. It is highly unlikely that the Last Supper was a Passover Seder because... well... there was no such thing as a Passover Seder as we know it today. Passover at the time of the Temple was a communal ritual holy day where a lamb was sacrificed in the temple and then a large feast was held for thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of people. Jesus would not have held a separate supper as he and his disciples would have been participating in the ritual sacrifice and feast at the Temple itself, and no, he would not have been officiating because he, at least in the Bible, was not an ordained priest. It's possible that the supper could have taken place immediately following the Passover holiday (that is, when it was over and leavened bread was safe to eat again), but it would not have been a seder itself as they just didn't exist back then like that.
@@jimmyrrpageLuke 22:11 specifies that it’s a Passover meal
My family is Christian and Greek, but for some reason we’ve always done ham for Easter! Which is a bummer because lamb is my favorite meat.
(We also do Greek Easter separately from Easter)
I don't know that much about Greek Orthodoxy but I am somewhat surprised? I guess the question is how assimilated your family is.
Also as a Greek person, what are your thoughts on My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I found it very relatable as someone of Askhenazi Jewish and (recent) English descent as did the person I watched it with, her being Dominican and Filipino. Seems like anyone of an ethnic minority and less-assimilated background can find it relatable in some way.
Probably because if you have to feed a group, ham is easier on the wallet! I'm not religious, but I'm stocking my storage freezer with lamb and ham. Both are the cheapest right now than they'll be all year (in the US PNW anyway), but lamb is 4x the price!
Adam has not shame being a cherry pie guy. Props to him, a true role model.
I understand this reference. And yes, it is admirable.
Edit: just went back to watch that video, and realized how young Adam looked back then. It was 2019...Covid aged us all, didn't it?
I just watched a non-believer sharing the Gospel to 2.4 million subscribers ahead of Good Friday. That's more than can be said for most professing Christians.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Based on your last sentence it seems like your implying that Adam Ragusea is the lord since he is the one that made and uploaded this video. Unless I’m getting something wrong?
There's something about starting the video while reading a book on the couch that just gives me PBS nostalgia. I just imagine the camera panning towards the couch before that scene began, perhaps with a montage of books and carvings all shot to the sound of classical music or easy-listening synth.
I really appreciate how well you rendered this story despite not believing it.
Until recently (Vatican II), Catholics abstained from meat every Friday (minus feast days) of the year. We're still supposed to make a "sacrifice" of some kind every Friday outside of Lent, so a lot of more traditional Catholics still abstain year-round.
My first experience with "mint jelly" had nothing to do with lamb and left my taste buds traumatized.
My dad would make a mint sauce that was actually very sour and not sweet at all.
It was a British sauce, not a jelly but a mix of mint and vinegar.
@@ashkitt7719 mmmm much better than mint jelly - urgh, much too sweet!
I saw it on a store shelf next to the other jellies so I made mint pb and j, absolutely delicious.
The stuff you'd have with lamb is probably less sweet than a dessert jelly, and is more like a sauce that has gelatinously solidified.
My wife tasted mint jelly for the first time after a meal at my parent's house. She wanted to buy it, but never found it at the store. Finally, she realized it was mint-flavored APPLE jelly.
as a family of Bavarian / Upper German nominal Roman Catholics we did the only reasonable thing:
book a table at the local Greek restaurant. lamb shoulder and milk lamb (or is that suckling lamb? iunno) and a lot of additional goodies - it was delicious

Gotta say, that armchair looks super comfy. Would conduct some antropology from there for sure.
One time I was making vorschmack with a friend, and the only sheep we could find was a lamb tenderloin. Naturally we couldn't waste it, so we fried and basted it like a steak, with butter, pepper, garlic, and thyme. It was one of the best things I've ever tasted, and only a tiny piece actually went into the vorschmack (which turned out great as well) - the rest was eaten as is.
Thank you for being respectful, I enjoyed the video.
A flaw of the theory about butching lamb because is the "safest meat" to eat at the time is, while people had ways to preserve meat, they could still just keep the animals alived until they where hungry enough to slaughter one for dinner so they don't have to deal with any leftovers.
Is likely lamb was saw as a delicacy, and the best moment to eat it is in spring where there are tons of it.
I think people relied on old meat in the winter months a lot since many wild sources of meat either migrated away or go into hiding during winter (I think of large birds and frogs). Spring feast is also just a celebration of making it through the harsh months of winter, seeing another generation of lamb means that they have enough sheep to replace the animals eaten in the past year, and this regeneration also marks the turning of the year.
But if you slaughter a cow you probably can't eat the whole thing in one meal.
Except that keeping the animal alive requires fodder, and that is hard to come by.
@@annejeppesen160 This ^
Yeah, I think the "safest meat" postulate is goofy as well. Historically, knowing how to write was rare, reserved for the ruling, religious, and merchant segments of society (where record keeping was rather important). It makes sense that sensible living practices were passed on through religious texts, which had more staying power than word-of-mouth. A culture of shepherds can use a reminder to cull their herds of the excess males every Spring, before they start rutting and get rather troublesome. It only takes a few males to service a flock, after all! The "sacrifice" is not waiting until they're older when they have more (marketable) meat. I'm sure they culled the less desirable males, keeping the few with the most desirable traits, like animal husbandry has done for 10K+ years before!
Lambs are adorable animals.
As far as I can tell, domesticated sheep are profoundly stupid animals. We and our dogs have been doing their thinking for them for a long time.
@@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv I raised lambs to adults as a kid. I trained one to walk on leash and follow some basic commands so I could have them trim the lawn a bit. I didn't find them stupid. They are just highly socially interdependent. individually they can make their own decisions, but in a group they can either lead or follow the group based on how much information they had.
@@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv I grew up with them-. They're smarter than people give them credit for. I don't have any qualms about eating them, though---they're usually raised in better conditions than other livestock and that's the most important part of animal-eating-ethics.
@@EthelredHardrede-nz8yvYou’re correct on there intelligence, but goats veracious appetite is unworldly. It is somewhat common these days for herds of goats to be the alternative to brining in labor owes to cut grass because goats eat EVERYTHING gladly.
@@killercaos123
Yes goats eat everything but this is about lambs.
I read that on some islands the only thing that is growing, due to goats eating everything else, is sage.
We eat sage and goats won't. Of course we only use small amounts as a spice.

His wife?
She's not 21. lol.
Thank you Adam, mostly correct about Judaism. But the lamb is not where we put our sins. Yom Kipur takes care of that. But when the Temple stood, at the time of Yom Kippur that priests would take a red heiffer (cow) and put the sins of the people on it. Then released it into the wilderness. That became known as the scape goat. But the time was in the Fall, not the Spring. This year Easter is most of a month before Passover (unusual) due to this being a leap year when we get a second month of Adar (Adar II).Thanks for the video.
The Pesaħ sacrifice is actually no longer sacrificed since the destruction of the second temple (except by samaritans) and the so called Zero‘a present on the Qe‘ara or tray is only a reminder of it and a symbolic representation never eaten (in fact many traditions ban the consumption of roasted lamb on the seder night as to ensure the meat eaten is never confused for the real thing)
Also, the lamb must be a year old-meaning within its second year of life to qualify as a sacrifice.
My (late) aunt and uncle had sheep on their farm in Alberta, Canada. Once, my grandmother made lamb. I tried it, and I've loved it ever since. It is very tasty. Cheers!
I’m from the American South and indeed a believing Christian. However… we’re having a catfish fry for Easter. 😅
"Lamb of God and you're going to eat a lamb?"
Oh boy, nobody tell him what we do every mass. I don't think he could handle it.
He actually mentions it in the video. Watch it again. It is near the start.
Nowruz (iranian new year from the zoroastrian religious tradition) is celebrated on the vernal equinox and lamb is eaten on his day. This predates the tradition presented here and shows how this tradition has always been present in the region.
I am a knitter, so I thank you for the video of the lambs and the sheep! I typically knit my own socks from what we call self striping yarn, and end up with some lovely colors of socks for winter. I loved seeing how cute they are and am grateful that I live where I can buy yarn and excellent dinner material from the same animal. I am from the South, but am also Episcopalian, but we r high church, so we observe the (relaxed) Lenten traditions.

Thanks for the accuracy! It means a lot.
As you mentioned the adjacency of these holidays, I'll also point out that the Hebrew name for Passover is Pesach (same meaning), while the Christian Easter is called Pascha, which is simply the Aramaic word for Pesach. As at the time of Jesus Aramaic was the Lingua Franca of the area and also the main day to day language of the Jews, it is likely he/them/whatever and the disciples celebrated the Jewish Pesach as _Pascha._
excellent vid, thanks Adam.

In my family lamb is a Christmas dinner more than Easter dinner. My family comes from the Faroe Islands and historically most of the regular meals were fish and the fancy meals were lamb. Foryar means sheep island. I've started making the Christmas lamb now that my mom is getting older. I also started making a lamb ragu from the leftovers that loosely is based off Adam's Bolognese recipe and it's the one thing I've made over the years that feels like my own recipe. It's so good, I have no desire to use beef anymore

Personally I think "Jesus taking one for the team" is one of the more icky aspects of Christianity.
Let's recap:
Humans need to be forgiven by god because something our ancestors did was bad. Also, this god engineered the situation in such a way, that it was basically inevitable. God is definitely culpable here.
In order for humanity to be absolved if this ancient misdeed, god requires sacrifices. For some reason, this omnibenevolent being can't just forgive the descendants of Adam and Eve, he requires restitution, on top of the curses he already put upon humanity at the beginning when the "crime" happened.
Yet he also really wants to forgive humanity so he concots a plan to trick them into making the biggest possible substitution sacrifice, a concept already morally bankrupt. And in the end he sacrifices himself to himself, but wait! It's not really much of a sacrifice, just a really, really shitty drive home.
Anyway, rant over. Enjoy easter and some delicious lamb in mint souce!
