[Jacob-list] Jacob-list Digest, Vol 103, Issue 7

[Kate Barrett]

I had the same reaction..one customer had been spending $95 to by one New
Zealand leg of lamb from Whole Foods for Christmas dinner, and the first
year were unsure what to do with the other cuts of lamb, and the husband
was grumpy because he didn't really like lamb. This year they bought 3
lambs!! The husband loves it.
