Lamb

By good fortune, my winemaking friend knows people up the valley (the Fraser Valley) that raise sheep, pigs, and chickens. The critters are well cared for and free range, and the quality of the meat is excellent. At the start of the "growing season" I put in order for a whole lamb, a side of pork, and some chickens (turns out I'll be getting four).

I was told today my lamb is at the butcher's, and that I'd be getting a call soon for cutting instructions.

The cutting's being done by Davis Meats on Mt. Lehman Road in Abbotsford and they are splendid. They know their meats, they know their cuts, and if you want the "offal", namely the liver and bones and all that, they're more than happy to package it all up for you (unlike many places).

$3.49 for whole lamb, top quality, cut the way I like. YUM!

I can hardly wait for my side of pork, coming next month!
