@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".
Lanb shanks were pretty much put in the bin when I was kid. Not anymore.
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

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)

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. Using the traditional dry-curing method we took various lamb cuts and smoked them with Pohutukawa. We created a natural marinade using organic sea salt, vinegar,...

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!

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.

@MajorRage Looks great, though I’m not a great fan of cooked blue cheese. Would some cheddar in the mash work?
