At Easter time it is traditional to cook lamb on a spit on the islands and in country areas. These are normally rather depressing affairs with families sitting dejectedly in the cold waiting for the meat to cook, the men drinking horrible home brew out of plastic cups and slowly getting drunker and more impervious to the dropping temperatures. I have sat through several such occasions. In towns it is not possible to roast the lamb on a spit so it is cut into pieces and cooked in the oven.
