Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I've been meaning to get out there since I first heard of them last fall. I never seem to have the time when I'm in Hutch and I think it would be fun for me and my DD to explore their place. They have a booth in the main food building at the state fair- very tasty.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 We just had leg of lamb steaks cooked on the grill (done slowly on a medium heat)and they were heavenly...very tender and delicious. These were our lamb steaks from The Lamb Shoppe. ----Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 How about mutton? Do they sell it? It's just me, but I just don " t care for eating the meat of baby animals (veal, lamb). Addy- ph. nbr? Thanks! Sara lamb I drove out to Hutchinson today to The Lamb Shoppe. I'm new to this group, so maybe someone has reported on this before, but anyway, they sell lamb by the cut, by the half, or you can buy a whole lamb. The lamb is grass fed, and they don't use antibiotics or growth hormones. I bought a whole lamb, but they also sell beef, chickens, turkey, eggs, and a variety of items including washable wool blankets. I was also able to get chicken feet for broth and some ground heart to add to hamburger. Connie was really friendly and helpful, and she said that she is also trying to follow Weston Price's recommendations for diet and has Sally Fallon's book, so that was interesting. Just thought I'd pass the information on...... I'll let you know how the lamb is once I try some. (-: ----Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware though that lamb isn't really 'baby' animals? Adolescent is probably more accurate. Next time you see a lamb-chop cut from the leg, take note of the diameter. If that's a baby, somebody pulled a fast one on me when I was learning my animals cuz that's got to be from the wrinkly gray babies with huge floppy ears and trunks if it's baby! ;-) The standard for lamb is anything less than 12-14 months of age. It's generally much less than that for veal (1-3 months and occasionally up to 4), but I think there's also some pastured 'veal' that is allowed to go somewhat longer too. Pastured veal won't look or taste like what people expect from veal though...it's much more like beef or lamb. I don't know if that makes lamb any more acceptable to you or not, but I just thought I'd share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hey , thanks! I didn't remember for a while there that animals mature at different times. That's right! And, oooh, I found out a lamb' average weight is 110-120 pounds? Yikes...that's no li'l babe, that's for sure! I feel a bit better now. I checked out the website, Judy, thanks. I see under " special requests " that mutton can be provided. Kathy, want to get some lamb heart or tongue? ;-) Sara PS I noticed the beef the Lamb Shoppe sell is Jersey. Hmm, I don't know what to make of that. One would think the Jerseys would be too valuable as milkers to sell off as beef. Re: lamb --- " Sara L. Rheault " <sara@...> wrote: > How about mutton?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Judy, Do you know how to prepare it? I believe the tongue is usually scalded and the skin removed before a long slow cooking to ensure tenderness. I haven't done tongue myself yet, so I'm not certain though. I have had it prepared by other people...including the taco lingua at El Taquito in West St . From those experiences, I know that tongue can be delicious if prepared properly. --- toffeejacket <toffeejacket@...> wrote: > Have you ever seen a lamb tongue?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 It is my understanding that lamb is one of those things, like buffalo, that is somewhat safe to assume that it is grassfed. Whether or not it was otherwise organically raised is left to be determined. In a pinch, even Sam's Club carries New Zealand lamb. Kathy Who does NOT promote Sam's Club OR lamb that is shipped all the way from New Zealand! P.S. I like to salt and pepper lamb chops and broil them. I serve them with some mint jelly that my kids make by mixing apple jelly (or other mild jelly) with minced fresh mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy, My sister is married to an Aussie ( & lives in Perth, Australia). Her brother-in-law sells lamb from there to all over the world, including Sam's Club. (Sam's Club is owned by the Wal-mart people you know.....) Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
