Charlatan, you're doing it all wrong. The lamb will absolutely french nicely if you first buy it a nice dinner, preferably vegetarian, maybe with a nice red wine. Candlelight is always nice, but not required. Avoid flowers on the table, she'll eat them.
Then, go for a nice drive in the country, tell her how beautiful her big round eyes lok in the moonlight, then gently lean in, go slow, and sure enough, you'll get some tongue.
Once you have it, brown lightly on both sides in a pan with olive oil, then add a can of diced tomatoes and about a cup of fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste and lots of fresh chives, cover and simmer for about two hours on low.
Serve with spanish rice and asparagus, very nice.
Um, sorry, lost my train of thought there.
Peace,
Pierre
