From: Colette Meiji But this was lamb, right?
Who in the US regularly eats lamb?
Id have to go to more than one super-market to even find it.
I could get it at a Greek or Mid-East food restaurant, but Id have to go into the city to get to one of those.
No other restaurants that I go to have it.
You hear about people making a rack of lamb but those are English style recipes. I lived in Los Angeles and we ate lamb all the time. It was bloody expensive, but it was there, even in the supermarkets. Beef was cheap, so we ate a lot of beef too, and alligator and rattlesnake. Taste like chicken but more expensive.

My point is its probably a ethnic dish of some sort thus the name of the scone like things wont have an American term for them necessarily Theres just not a lot of common domestic style dishes with lamb in them. I cant think of any. |

You hear about people making a rack of lamb but those are English style recipes. Which is why maybe trouble causers should pause before telling people that they are wrong. Simply egregious. /me winks at Conan and anyone else who wants pens or three bluebirds |

From: Colette Meiji Who in the US regularly eats lamb? I do. I don't chop it up and put it in a pie, I throw it on the BBQ. Well, maybe just wave it over the top. |

From: Chas Connolly I though it was all ostrich steaks up north now. Anyone for a leg? Or octopi if you have a big family - no more fighting over the legs at sunday dinners. On a serious note, one of my passions is locally sourced meat from rare breed animals that have been properly cared for. My butcher is a proper old fashioned craftsman, and can get me whole carcasses for the freezer (butchered and jointed obviously). Lamb is one of the best to get if you are unsure of provenence, as factory farmed lamb in the UK is really non existent. Sheep are such hardy creatures that they thrive anywhere and there is therefore no economic benefit in factory farming them. Even supermarket lamb is usually ethically reared. However, the meat may not be hung for long enough to really do it justice. That's the serious bit over.

Lamb breast is a greatly underrated cut too. Properly seasoned, it makes a fantastic rolled roasting joing. I stuff it with an apricot stuffing I saw Gordon Ramsay make.

Theres just not a lot of common domestic style dishes with lamb in them. I cant think of any. Of course I know it's origins. It was leftovers from Sunday roast ... with scone-like thingies  You may not know this, but in the UK we had a deal with New Zealand and we got our lamb - and good old Anchor butter - dirt cheap for years. Lamb was very common and domestic

Seriously Chas, I recommend you try to find a good butcher in your area. Mutton is comong back into fashion too you know.
