Hi Dave,


 DD> The usual elevated price of sheep meat over cow or pig meat has a lot
 DD> to do with its lack of popularity. Heck lamb chops are more expensive
 DD> than even Waygo beef steaks in my area.  Bv)=

 RH> Which is probably why my mom never bought it. That, and I don't recall
 RH> ever seeing it in our supermarkets where I grew up. We had an A&P and a
 RH> Victory Market but neither of them were very big stores. Victory sold
 RH> out to a church/school probably about 20+/- years ago, A&P sold out to
 RH> Freshtown about 15 years ago, after it had been flooded and rebuilt
 RH> several times.

 DD> When I see lamb chops on a restaurant menu the price makes my throat
 DD> slam shut. Even buying them in a butcher shop can put a crimp in my
 DD> budget.

 DD> There are, however, some bargain priced lamb cuts which are very
 DD> tasty.

We found some at a decent price at Sam's Club a while back. Grabbed
them, had a couple each, and the rest are in the freezer. Will probably
get them out some time soon and grill them.


 RH> We've splurged on lamb chops a few times, grilling them outside. Also
 RH> got a leg of lamb maybe 15 years ago, enjoyed that and have another one
 RH> in the freezer.

 DD> Lamb chops at Hy-Vee are currently U$12.99/lb (bone-in). They are the
 DD> only local market admitting to having sheep meat.  Bv)=

We've not looked for it lately, just happed to come across the deal at
Sam's.
