We didn't eat a lot of lamb growing up, but more I think than the average American family. It was always the "leg'o" and not the crown. In fact, I think the first time I saw a crown my initial thought was "where's the rest of it?" ( And also: why are there silly little hats on it? ) I don't think I had a "lamb chop" until I was well into adulthood.
And nothing could have prepared me for the idea of mint jelly with lamb ( or even the existence of mint jelly ). I have a love hate relationship with mint. When I was young I completely hated it, could only tolerate it in toothpaste. Since then I've opened up to some mints, chocolate installations and some beverages. But for anything "savory" it's a hard hard NOPE.
