We ran into Fabienne tonight and she promises lamb on the Thyme & Dough menu on Thursday evening. The last lamb night was so popular they ran out earlier than expected (Dripping loves lamb — who knew?), but she promises plenty of humanely raised, free range lamb this week. As we've said before, we have a new found love for this biblical meat and, thanks to Fabienne, it will receive the respect and preparation it deserves
