Eating Sheep - Page 6

We still eat it a few times a year, and like Spex, always with mint jelly.

All the beef and lamb we eat grows up around here. I buy it from a local farm (they have to send it to the mainland for slaughter, where it is also butchered, packed and frozen). It's fabulous.
As to caviare, I prefer the red caviare you can get in Russia to the black overpriced stuff ...

"Feedlot Rectal Prolapse"

YUM!! can't wait to run out and get me some of that

Aliantha · 10-27-2007, 05:19 PM

Yeah, I don't think all those prolapse things are going to affect the quality of the meat...nor many of the others except maybe the fact that sheep do eat pretty much everything down to the roots if needs be. The meningitis might be a problem too, but I imagine that'd knock them over in the paddock, and every farmer knows you don't eat a beast if you don't know what killed it.

Urbane Guerrilla · 10-28-2007, 10:17 PM

Yeah, Dana, that one's called "white gravy." A little far afield from the broth plus thickening agent and seasoning elements, true, but it's still a savory sauce with some meat content. It's a sausagey kin to creamed chipped beef, and that kind of recipe really needs something with a strong flavor like a sausage included to give it character.

ElBandito · 10-29-2007, 12:04 AM

I'm having lamb shanks tonight. With red wine.
Served with mashed potatoes.

I live in New Zealand. Eating sheep here is like... well, breathing air.

Aliantha · 10-29-2007, 12:05 AM

yeah...well all know what else you do with sheep there too. (sorry, it had to be said)

ElBandito · 10-29-2007, 12:09 AM

Same things Austalians do with their Kangaroos...

...or so I hear.

Aliantha · 10-29-2007, 12:10 AM

touche!

ZenGum · 10-29-2007, 12:53 PM

Okay, now that Bandito has been subjected to the obligatory sheep

joke (in this thread it was inevitable) here's a joke that Australians (with good memories) might get:
Hannibal Lecter won a date with a lamb roast, but he turned it down because his mum was cooking Tom Cruise that night.

Aliantha · 10-29-2007, 05:06 PM

lol....I get it! I've actually never heard that one before. Must be a southerners joke.

We miss a lot of that intellectual stuff up here in Qld.

lol

HM just bought a (small) leg of NZ lamb for £3.49 ($7?)

Is lamb really expensive in the US, or just compared with other meat?
After all it can't really come further than NZ to England?

Aliantha · 10-29-2007, 05:30 PM

Lamb is about the same price as beef in Oz at the moment. In some cases more expensive.

I'm sure there's reasons for this, but I can't figure it out.

the cheapest cut of meat by far is pork.

Pork...meat n worms....awesome
