It is derived from the phrase 'pieces of lamb', which was used in the 18th century to refer to small pieces of meat that were served as part of a meal. The term has since been adapted to refer to short works of writing, usually consisting of a few paragraphs or less. Pieces of Lamb are often used to express an opinion or provide commentary on a particular topic.
