I had the same tonight but asparagus instead of beans.

No longer cheap as chops though. I still prefer lamb cutlets, nice, thick and rare.

I agree, but when I asked my local butcher for lamb he told me they only carry lamb around the holidays because it rarely sells.

I love the lamb but damn it’s expensive

Many Americans don’t like lamb because it is sourced from places like New Zealand, where it tastes especially gamey. American lamb has less flavor by far and for whatever reason is costly. Also, lamb needs to be prepared and cooked properly, with lots of garlic and herbs to offset said gaminess. I agree that more people should try it in the US, but if you have it once and it’s not cooked properly and tastes like a tangy shoe, most likely you’ll never try it again. Greeks prepare amazing lamb from my experience, and I grew up eating it made with lots of garlic and cooked a perfect rare, so I know how good it can be. My family won’t touch it, not even the expensive lollipop chops.

Love lamb

AGREED! My family and I do lamb chops or a roast with mint chimichurri on special occasions. I travel for work and love to try new lamb dishes when I’m in Europe. It’s so good!
Buying it here in the states is ridiculously expensive though and the quality is hit or miss.

I don’t care for lamb. Too fatty, gamey tasting, hard to cook properly.

It’s alright. Just prefer the taste of beef and pork and pork is cheaper

I love lamb chops, best tasting meat there is. But they are extremely high in cholesterol 🙄

Costco usually has good options and prices for lamb.

I eat lamb and salmon constantly
finethanksandyou
I’d love to! It’s so freakishly expensive, we (as in my family, but I do t think we’re alone) only choose it for holidays. However, this then *associates* lamb with holidays, and we start thinking it’s ONLY holiday food, which exacerbates the issue of Americans thinking lamb is not for every day
