	lamprey lamb lamb's lettuce lambrusco lamprey Lancashire cheese Lancashire hot pot Lane cake Definition: [LAM-pree] Varieties of this long (about 21 inches), eel-shaped fish are found in both fresh and marine waters. It has a delicately flavored but extremely fatty flesh, which makes it indigestible for many people. Lamprey can be cooked whole (if small to medium) or in pieces. It's usually braised in wine, but is suitable for other manners of cooking such as baking or sautéing.
