    Perhaps it wasn't a lambs leg but a shetland pony leg, got to be honest not sure we could trust some of the local butchers anymore than we can the supermarkets.

    You are right FloFlo...however what I meant to say here way...the lamb she had just bought, indeed was lamb...they had the whole carcasses there with the correct stamps etc on them (I had to leave the butchers shop when she was picking the carcass and checking out the certification, I felt faint:o), she decided to buy half a lamb, they then in front of her cut the fat off it and gave her all the meat, cut exactly as she had asked, she got ribs, steaks an inch thinck 7 of them, if i remember right and took the shoulder whole to roast, and yes had the leg boned and cut into small cubes...her butchers do it right in front of customers and this particular woman...watched them all the way whilst they cut up her half lamb to her exact specification, I could not watch, too squeamish I am, but makes me think, this might be the way forward

    FloFlo and JustMaz A few yrs ago I saw a family friend of ours buy lamb by the kg from their butchers shop, she had it boned and cut into 1 inch cubes and then I saw her feed 6 pieces a time into mince this latch on metal little mincer thing, latched onto worktop...the colour of the lamb mince that was coming out of that machine...looked nothing like the colour of lamb mince sold in supermarkets! :eek:

    Noooooooooooo.....lamb is my most favourite meat, at least I think it is :eek::eek: x

    Or keeping a small herd yourself :p

    I think you are right that choosing meat from respected butchers and seeing meat cut up in front of you is probably the best option we have - problem is price. I suppose if everything else is glitched then paying more for meat wouldn't be too bad.
