The lamb is perhaps the oldest meat-derived animal of all domesticated animals. They started breeding it in the Middle East at least 9,000 years ago. Culturally it has been used to express docility to the shepherd, and symbolizes meekness, innocence and purity (for something it is said “lamb of God”, as it was also an animal that used to be sacrificed as an offering). Lamb with caramelized onion is a delicacy worthy of all the gods.
