Re: Wot no Lamb!

Well the farm I made contact with never replied, so I doubt I will buy from them. The search continues ..

Re: Wot no Lamb!

It was the Manotick Butcher and due to rebuild costs against the insurance, sadly, they felt they couldn't re-open.

Re: Wot no Lamb!

Great, thanks. Will check those out, haven't seen the packs in Costco, so will be more vigilant next time we visit the shop.

Re: Wot no Lamb!

That's interesting to know, I wouldn't have considered whether the local lamb would be different to the texture/tenderness of Welsh or NZ lamb.

Re: Wot no Lamb!

Many thanks for the links, will definitely take a look. I'm a little uncomfortable with some slaughter methods and as such have tended to avoid halal and kosher. That's purely a personal thing though.

Re: Wot no Lamb!

Yes, cost is eye watering, it is my favourite meat though, so from time to time I give in and buy some. As we come into Spring, hoping for more choice/availability.

Thanks, sadly our local Butchers premises burnt down. However, I will try other in the area.

Re: Quark?

Blimey, a Quark Guru! Thanks, if I can't find something very similar or even the same as I am used to in all of those options then it really doesn't exist :)

Re: Quark?

It's not really the same in that Quark has a spreadable consistency, more like a very smooth cream cheese, but much lower in fat. I use it instead of butter and to thicken sauces such as curry and...

Quark?

Does anyone know if Quark is sold in any of the supermarkets or maybe a more specialist health food store in the Ottawa area? In advance, thank you.

Re: House Hunting in the Ottawa Area

Thanks scilly, yes it does seem that the system is rather different to here in the UK with Realtors doing much more of the due diligence not lawyers.

Re: House Hunting in the Ottawa Area

Thanks dbd33. Will need to check if Manotick properties are septic bed or septic tank. From memory and what our Realtor said, they could be either. I know that in other areas such as Embrun home...
