Thread: The latest Lamb advert!

The best quality chops are the Chump (or sometimes called Rump) chops followed by the loin chops, Then you have the rib end and shoulder chops

As a consumer, it's the loin for me. I guess that's a problem for the rest of the animal. So, back to marketing I guess.

I can cook. and can deal with most cuts, but Mrs housewife has no idea what to do with most cuts. Most of the animal gets put in to "imaginative" cuts, with YT vids on how to cook it.

Sad.

Definitely expensive but my taste buds reckon you can't beat lamb. Starting with the leg, them the shanks and finally chops.

Used to eat the brains when we were kids. Haven't had them for probably 55 years but intend to try them again.

My grandfather was a sheep farmer and Mum told me stories how they would eat lamb every day, and never got sick of it.

When mum got married and had to fend for herself she still ate lamb. When the children arrived the tradition continued.

In my younger years it would be roast lamb twice a week. I still love it and never get sick of it.

Back then it was cheaper than chicken. I remember the Sunday roast, it was chicken. Now that was special. How times have changed.

I have made comment to SWMBO saying if anything ever happened to her I would live on lamb.

Also love cold lamb sandwiches for lunch the next day after a roast tea.

When the kids were young, Mrs 8 used to do a big roast with all the trimmings. Next day was spag bog, with the left over lamb minced; to this day, best spag ever.

I have no scientific evidence for this but from what i've read it'll feel like it.

My mum who lived on lamb (read my previous post) died in 2019 aged 99.

So yes there is no scientific evidence, but if there was and she did not eat all this meat she would then have lived to 198

She did have a triple by pass at age 85 and lived in excellent health until about 96 when the brain started to fail

Might have avoided the bypass if she had not eaten all that lamb, but in the first half of her life there was not much science around.

They used lard for cooking. Bacon and eggs was very common for breakfast and was one of many foods cooked in lard

When I was young this was only eaten by Italians.

And I had better not mention what we called them back then.

My butchers dad, who I do the occasional electrical job for, is pushing mid 90s
Has a lamb chop, a rasher of bacon, an egg, baked beans and a couple of pieces of toast for breakfast everyday
His wife is refusing to get up at 4 am to cook it for him now, so he has to do it himself before going to feed his (daughters) horses, then heads into the butchers shop 3 days a week
Has roast meat for lunch and either lamb or beef for dinner
Has done since he got married (too many years ago to his recollection)

He’s still driving and still enjoys a beer (when ever I call in to do a job at the butchers (never too early for a beer in his book))

Just shows the Atkins diet may be the best diet to live by

Until I got married, I was unaware that spaghetti came from other than cans, or could be eaten on anything other than toast.
We Aussies were very sheltered and unadventurous culinary consumers back then.

Yes - Lamb used to be cheaper than chicken,

Lamb roast every Sunday and Chicken on special occasions.
