Beef or lamb?

It's funny how the mind can trick you. I was having dinner tonight, given a piece of meat that looked rather like a medium-cooked piece of beef steak. Came with mash, asparagus, all that really good stuff... I ate it, and towards the end, someone asked me, "so how was the lamb?" After asking a few other people, I found out that what I had thought was beef was in fact, lamb.

If I had known beforehand that it was lamb, I would've appreciated it a lot more. Don't get me wrong, I love my beef steak, but lamb is quite a speciality, even more so than the beef. Dinner was enjoyable, but it could've been more enjoyable if only I had known...

Note to self: the mind is easily fooled. Be careful.
