One of the things I will miss in the U.K. Lamb is fresh or frozen.
I am thinking on trying Kangeroo meat, anyone tried it?

I've tried kangaroo, it wasn't very exciting, a bit dry. There's no need to miss lamb here though, we eat lamb better than once a week, usually purchased fresh and then frozen at home. We pay $300-$325 cash for a 40lb box, a bit more than we do for beef ($250). If we need it at short notice there's always fresh lamb at the St. Lawrence Market though sometimes at eyeball popping prices.

Lamb is an occasional treat for us, so sounds like you are doing better. There are restuarants I have been to in South London that sell it real cheap, but I do wonder where they got it:huh:

We usually take lamb chops camping, stick them in a plastic bag with a yogurt marinade and grill them when we get there. Magic.

Sutherlands, try No Frills for Wholewheat biscuits (Digestive) their No name ones, you can also get chocolate coated. I Think the price is $1.69 for plain ones. We get a few packets and take south with us in winter. Just as good as McVities.

Price of lamb, I was hoping to get some at a decent price when we visit UK later in the year.

Yes, I am quite the barbeque fan, Lamb, steak, burgers you name it, or is the term cookout used over there?

When it is time to cook the meat, I'm in charge:D

"Cookout" no it would be barbecue:).

We get some VERY nice lamb chops at Costco and Mrs_P says the price is very reasonable.

Hi Rich,

Does your neighbour sell whole lambs to other people or is it because you are a neighbour, we would be quite willing to travel to get good quality meat.

Thanks
