Lack of Lamb

[Zip]

Ive noticed Recently that almost none of the Food Threads on here contain Lamb in any form, No Roasts, No Chops or Shanks


Why is this?

Every thing you lot cook Seems to be from a cow, a pig or a chicken.

Is Lamb just not so popular over there or is it just harder to come by?(Unless you are Welsh)

Or are Sheep really just used for Wool over there?

love lamb, i'd take a lamb chop over a steak anyday of the week

Cow, Pig and Chicken is usually cheaper than Lamb in this country, simple as that.

Lamb is also my favourite meat, so this makes me .

 

[Haircut]

Lamb is generally more expensive, certainly than chicken and pork anyway.

There are still several cooking with threads using lamb though...

My wife and I buy NZ lamb from our supermarket. It's good stuff.

Good lamb is hard to find.

We eat it every other week for Sunday dinner, very nice but yes bloomin pricey!

 

[Raymond Lin]

It's really rich and fatty, that's why i don't buy it often. Plus i like a big steak, and you can't really eat a big piece of lamb without feeling it afterwards coz of all the fat.

 

[Cosimo]

It's good, we have it once in a while.

I have had to eat lamb twice this week. I would prefer chicken.

Love lamb, especially fresh home reared as opposed to the frozen antipodean variety but it is very expensive in relative terms, compared with the other meats.

 

[KaHn]

Never been a fan of Lamb for some reason.

Thought this thread would be a Chinese person talking about a Rack of Lamb, therefore this thread fails to deliver

for the love of god, don't! we produce wonderful lamb in Britain why would you possibly need or want to buy newzealand lamb, you don't get the airmiles with the meals you know.

 

[monkeyspank]

Lamb season coming up shortly!

Elequently put, couldn't agree more.

My Girlfriend's father is an Aberdeen Angus farmer, so we eat more beef than anything else, which I don't moan about!
Lamb is over priced for what is essentially a very fatty meat, but it's nice to have once in a while, if only for the mint sauce.
