Lambs are small. Lamb chops are small.

This is a lamb, OP. Why would you expect them to have large chops?

You’re eating the ribs of a baby animal.

i’m no lamb expert so i have to ask: do they shrink when they are cooked? the ones sold at my workplace are at least twice the size of these

You ate a baby
masterswasser
If you put lamb sauce over it, they expand

Looks like someone got to them before you, OP!!!

They’re small regardless, but those ones have been deep fried lazily so they’ve shrunk like hell and toughened up no doubt

Whoah! No one in the comments knows what lamb chops are nor have they ever seen actual lamb chops! PLEASE at the very least google lamb chop food and see the massive difference in the images and this guys lunch.
*****Edit when I left this comment there were a ton of people basically hating on OP and saying “well duh it’s a BABY you’re eating a BABY of course it’s going to be small” that’s why I said what I said

I know they’re small but that’s not my problem…
Why do they look so damn dry?

People saying “they’re lambs, lambs are small” are missing some context. The lamb chops in the grocery store (at least in America, idk where your pictures are from OP) are from sheep 7-10 months old and over 100lbs, not the cute little week old babies people are thinking of. A sheep is a “lamb” for one year, then after 1 year old it’s “mutton” at slaughter.
The chops in the picture are anemic as fuck, I’d send that back.

Depends on how young the lamb was. Often lambs are slaughtered at 6 months old but in the Mediterranean or in Asia they use very young lamb, not even 2 months old so the meat is very tender but the chops are gonna be smaller.

Normal sized lamb chops. Sheep chops are bigger.

I don’t know the correct size, but either way the presentation is garbage!

There are 2 types of lamb chops, there are lamb chops, and then there are lamb chops from lambs who are still drinking milk, often making the lamb chops taste better but also being smaller. It’s popular in spain and france as far as I know. It’s a bit fucked but it’s delicious

Lambs in Greece are between 10 and 20kg, so it’s normal for the chops to be that size. And they are not deep fried.

This pic screams Greece lmao
The lazily grilled meat, the half baked fries that are soft lol The napkin holder (we have the same at my job but in black) The paper tablecloth that will get oily and disintegrate

Greece (and a number of other Mediterranean countries) tend to serve lamb chops from much younger lambs than you’re probably used to, which are of course smaller. In return, the meat should be extremely juicy and tasty, plus you tend to get a big pile of them. These do look maybe a little overcooked, though, which will have made them shrink and ruined the juiciness.

lambs are baby animals. that’s why lamb chops are small.

Lamb chops are usually pretty small, but those had the hell Cooked out of them.

Those look like “lamb lollipops”, not lamb chops.
