French: agneau

 
A symbol of purity, lambs once grazed throughout Central Asia, from the Middle East to Tibet. Human and animal naturally came into contact with each other. Man became a shepherd. Mild and docile, the lamb followed him from arid land to sources of water. Once an offering to the gods, lamb was sacrificed to Aeolus, Zephyr and other divinities of the winds to ensure safe sailing.

No longer offered up on religions’ altars, suckling lamb now comes to us like a breath of springtime. At the same time, tender new vegetables, herbs and young garlic make their appearance: all perfect accompaniments to spring lamb!
