Tales from Shakespeare - Charles Lamb, Mary Lamb

Silence of the lambs

Advantages: great story, good acting
Disadvantages: bit gorey, emtional issues

I really like the whole genre of thriller/mystery/murder because it is exciting and silence of the lambs is always exciting. I really enjoyed watching this way back when because it has an original storyline and excellent character portrayal from Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. The silence of the lambs focuses on Jodie Foster's character inteviewing Dr Hannibal Lector about Buffalo Bill, a man that is kidnapping and skinning women to make a skin suit for himself. He is clearly very deranged and odd and quite sick in the head to want to do this to people. It is not like the others which focus on Hannibal and his feasting on other people but the plot and story is still very disturbing and sickening yet I think that is what makes it so good because it disturbs us and keeps us watching. The director has thrown in many hooks to keep us ...

Scrumptious Lamb In Red Wine from Morrisons

Advantages: Extremely tasty, lean & tender lamb, lovely sauce
Disadvantages: High in fat

process, there was a lovely, almost sweet smell of lamb roasting and the wine aroma permeated the air quite strongly. I hoped that the finished article would taste as delicious as it smelled. On removing from the oven, I decided against carving slices from the shank as it would have been too cumbersome being as I was only feeding myself, so I placed the whole thing on my plate then surrounded it with the potatoes and green vegetables. There appeared to be quite a lot of meat on the bone, and I noticed that it hadn?t shrunk at all during the cooking time. The sauce was a pale red colour (a bit like rosé wine), and the smell of rosemary was not overly strong, but definitely there.
