@nzzp used to be a throway piece. That seems like a good deal, although you are paying for the weight of the bones
I love it that the whole animal is being used now and the less popular cuts are in "fashion".
Lamb shanks were pretty much put in the bin when I was kid. Not anymore.

I just gripe at how 'cheap' cuts become fashionale and no longer cheap.
About the only one left that is a bargain is Lamb Neck.I used to do Oxtail in the restaurant. Kept the food cost down and the locals loved it. Takes some work/time to do well but delicious.
Venison Shanks were another. -

yep, spot on. 'peasant food' is now trendy. I'm cool with that, but the price differential isn't there ... so we eat a fair bit of lamb rack, fillet, etc. 20 years ago it was all rump steak and stewing beef!

I am always impressed by skilled chefs that can make the lesser cuts into something amazing. Went to St John a couple of years ago in London, it was delicious

speaking of the cheap cuts...
Anyone tried this?
Caught a bit on TV last night about it, I think they said they use lamb belly (or a part that isnt usually used)
SMOKED LAMB SHOULDER BACON 300G
We have created a Pork Free Bacon utilizing a new breed of Te Kuiti farmed free-range lamb that is deliciously rich in flavour and fat.

I had to do a six weeek training course and there were muslims there, so real bacon was off the menu. They substituted with "turkey bacon". Whilst quite nice, it's not bacon, don't call it that. Cured turkey strips, whatever, but don't try and mislead me. It's not bacon!

@Snowy hey, I never gave it the name...same as the lamb bacon

I know, but you can stop it now. Lamb bacon just winds me up even more, no such thing.

And their "cheese". It's fucking ground up fermented nuts or something. It's not cheese. We have words that describe certain things, make up your own bloody word.
