The preparation of gigot can vary, but it is commonly seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and other herbs. The dish is often served with potatoes, vegetables, and a variety of sauces.

• Allowing the meat to rest before carving and serving.

Fashion

In the fashion world, a gigot sleeve (also known as a leg-of-mutton sleeve) is a style of sleeve that is full and puffy at the shoulder and tapers down to the wrist. This style was particularly popular during the Victorian era and has seen various revivals in fashion history.
