I have heard nothing but good things about the lamb from Sam's Club.
I've just had a look..our lamb is Australian.....I put a lot in the freezer after cooking the first ones and finding them so good......

I always heard that the lamb from around Mont St Michel was good-grazing on the salt marsh grass?!

That's fun

I've seen a sheep's place someone in the state as well, but they were never open when I went passed...and Sam's Club do have fairly good lamb, but it's normally way to expensive, well I think so...but when it's on a deal, I'd get some

hmmm....I can smell the coronary now

I'm going back in a month and going to Cornwall to see friends and family. I always get a "proper" cornish pasty, lovely fish n chips soaked in vinegar, fudge and of course scones with jam and clotted cream....not all at the same time! (I need to go on a diet before and after the trip to compensate though!)

I'm too afraid to go any further...somebody might say beans on toast! :scared: yuck!

though I wouldn't say no to a sausage sarnie and a bar of cadburys

and for the OP you can find real tetley tea bags at some H.E.B stores and for sauce try Country Bobs for a change..it knocks spots of Hp brown sauce..

Malted milk biscuits, cream crackers, prawn cocktail crisps, marks and spencers chocolate mousse (or any chocolate mousse available from a supermarket), bounty, cadburys buttons, flakes, refreshers, jacket potatoes with baked beans and cheese and so much more....

I really miss a lot of foods! Boo hoo!

Another good place to buy good lamb is Trader Joes. Don't know how far east they are located, might be just a West Coast thing. They do have a website though. Their lamb is Australian and reasonably priced. I don't like lamb, but my husband never has complaints. We also buy mint sauce at a place that sells British imports. Not too pricey and again no complaints from my husband. I've yet to ever make a leg of lamb....I may try it one day when I'm feeling courageous enough.

I miss a good chinese takeaway.....there is just nothing over here to compare to.

If I was able to go to Cornwall right now I would definately eat that lot all at the same time. I've visited Cornwall many times and so am well used to having to diet before and after! lol I'm truly envious of your visit back home next month ... wish I was you ...

I know, I can't wait...it's funny, I say a quick hello to my Mum then run up the road to get the fish n chips! I don't know why,but they always taste better in Cornwall!

I'll take some pics of all the goodies and post them here for you!!!

You can't beat a nice leg of roast Welsh lamb with mint sauce and all the other trimmings, well to me you can't.
Duncan,

I was in CLE at the weekend and I went to Westside Market. You must go there and get yourself some lamb. There's lots of it for sale, different cuts. I enquired to one stand salesperson about where the lamb was sourced. I said, "is it American?". His reply, "it's from Ohio."

I always wondered about those midwestern states. Thanks for the chuckle! I need it today.
