The lamb here tends to be very expensive compared to beef, pork or chicken. Some areas of the US may have a decent supply, but I am in the beef eating area where steaks are king and kingsize!! I have no idea how many steak houses (restaurants) there are in Chicago. Too many to count on my fingers. I do eat lamb when in good restaurants around the country but I think most of the lamb on sale in the supermarket should really be labeled "mutton".
I remember when I lived in Cleveland, England I used to go to the local farm and choose my lamb on the hoof, much to the horror of my kids, and fill my freezer with very fresh meat.

Lamb is available everywhere in South Africa as in Australia I suppose. We even sometimes get frozen Australian lamb at a much cheaper price than South African lamb. We normally use it for spicy dishes like David's lamb which I intend making one of these days. Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa. >> Hi All, The recipe sounds delicious! I can get ground lamb at the local food coop. It is local lamb and starting the meat section in this health food coop caused quite a hubbub. It's turned out to be one of the biggest money making parts of the store.>> To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [email protected].
