How was it prepared?

Recently we had some friends that drove from Bend to Santa Monica for a little vacation.  While out at a restaurant that evening one of them decided to have the lamb.  The restaurant itself impeccable and the food was top notch although she was feeling under the weather and decided not to eat the meal with plans of retiring for the evening.  On the way back to the car they were approached by a homeless man inquiring about change.  They decided why not offer him this meal.....She hadn't touched it and maybe it would fill his belly.  When they offered the food the man asked what it was.  She said it was lamb and that it looked amazing.  His response was "where is it from and how was it prepared".
