[Jacob-list] Lamb chops

[MarmontJacobs at aol.com]

Hi,
    Have just translated Mary's processing costs for her lamb and it came out 
at £43 roughly. That's over twice what we are currently paying locally and 
that has increased enormously with various legislation in the last 2 years. 
Our pure bred lambs kill out at around 40-50lb boxed.
    Lamb is much more popular in the UK than the US by the sounds of it 
although my favourite book is an Australian one readily available in the UK 
(and inexpensive too) which is packed with recipes from all over. I'll see if 
there's an ISBN number if anyone's interested.
    I tend to slow roast over wine, veg, and herbs (especially Rosemary); 
ground mostly goes for moussaka and our own homemade sausages. We also made 
haggis last year which, contrary to folklore is NOT something that runs 
around Scottish hills with one leg shorter than the other!!
    Weather in East Anglia - fog to the ground and frosty fleeces.
