Does anyone use this and know if it contains mint flavour?

Thanks

I don't think that it does, but the new OXO Lamb Stock Pots - contain Rosemary

Oh, yuk. :-(

The other stocks are just that, meat essences - why add flavours people don't like? Both mint and rosemary are an acquured taste - despite what Jamie Oliver thinks grin

Don't think that Lamb oxo cubes have much flavour anyway, so I don't use them. And definitely no hint of herbs like mint and rosemary, both of which by the way I love.

I have a super recipe for a sauce to serve with such treats as rack of lamb.
I have boiled up bones before and when I saw this thread heading I thought oh good, but now think I will continue to boil up bones.
We are having rack of lamb on Christmas Eve, a 2/3 times a year treat.
If anyone thinks the cubes are good please let us know.
I do prefer the gel pot stocks actually.

If I'm actually cooking lamb or any meat, I'd use the juices, not an Oxo cube.

I wanted to know about the Lamb Oxo cube as I occasionally make beef Oxo as a drink and wondered if this would be as suitable - but not if it has mint in it.

I like mint, in fact one of my favourtie salads is coleslaw with chopped fresh mint and toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
But not in a meat cube.
