The cookingbites recipe challenge: lamb or goat

I’ve got it narrowed down…one is a sort of quirky one, the other isn’t going to shake anyone up, but it’s some good ol’ sit-down-shut-up comfort food.

I saw Barriehie's photo of bones and then saw the word "narrowed" in yours and thought "marrowed". I wore my reading glasses while working today (can't see small print very well) and I guess my eyes aren't working very well right now that I took them off...LOL!

So in Singapore, when you see something served as 'mutton' (which is usually in Indian restaurants), there's a high probablity it will actually be goat. Wet markets that sell fresh mutton are all selling goat meat. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen lamb being sold at these markets and I think I've only ever bought lamb at supermarkets and some specialist butcher shops. Actual sheep mutton - I don't think I've seen that for sale here, mind you I think I'd be hard pressed to find that in the UK...

I've depleted my supply of precooked meat from my freezer so when I get back from my trip I'll be taking a jaunt down to a place we call 'Little India' to stock up on 'mutton' (goat). :)

You just reminded me of my first trip to a Singapore market not too far from peninsula?. I made it 3/4 way through before dry reaching.

Oh. That was a few years before I moved there. Well, I've no doubt the markets were a bit grim back then, but they aren't that bad these days.

Worst ones I've seen in recent times were in Hong Kong. I think it was the closest I've been to being in a slaughterhouse.

Never went to the markets there. We did however take our travel agents recommended 3 day ferry trip to macau to play the tables.

Sorry msmofet I can not participate as I am not in my own kitchen with all of it's accoutrements, but I for one LOVE Lamb. Idon't think I've ever had US Lamb before, though I understand that Colorado puts out a great product.

The challenge isn't over until July 10...I can't imagine how much Hawaiian lamb costs!

That's if I could even find it here. I know that the Costco in Arizona had both chops and leg of lamb, but I don't have my fully-equipped kitchen here in Hawaii, just extremely basic stuff in the pantry AND it's all quite old and hard!

Safeway here in Honolulu Hawaii has Lamb!
#1 ground Open Nature brand 85% lean is $12.99
#1.5 loin chops are $13.99
#1 frenched chops $21.99
Not horrifically high, but ...

No, it's not terribly high compared to prices here. Now granted, the ground lamb here is half the price but for lamb chops and Frenched chops it's not that much higher there than here.

But you will still be in HI in July?
