As in lamb the meat, not A lamb, a new addition to the farm.

I have 2 bags of meat.
I figured out the legs, ribs, shanks and chops.

Is pretty much everything else for stew?

Since I have 2 leg roasts I assume the other legs are the oval pieces with the round bone in the middle (kind of across section). On the cow one butcher called this the round steaks.

Besides roasting the legs and grilling the chops, can I grill these "arm cross sections" or are they too tough?


Figure I need to make a nice lamb stew too.


The fact that this vegetarian, except if raised on my farm and if I know the farm and butcher, is having this questions is quite amusing. I seem to have gone to extremes in an effort to provide for local meat for our family.
Of course I may also be trying to figure out if we should add breeding sheep to the farm mix here but we do not need to tell DH this, especially in light of adding 2 more goats for bramble control and planning our first overwintering of beef this year.

I love lamb, and I regularly marinate and grill the cuts you mention, but then dh likes his meat tough...it is a bit chewy, with sinews and all, but it's not too bad, and the dogs like the little round bones afterwards!

My brother wrote a short children's song, with the refrain, "She's the vegetarian the animals hate!"
