Years ago I was able to get lamb only at one butcher shop in the city
where we lived. I never saw shanks there. That place is gone now. My
regular butcher does not carry lamb.Mt back-up butcher does not carry
lamb. The only place I can get lamb is at the larger grocery stores, and
they only carry shanks occasionally.
