Lamb chops are always way over-priced (for what little you get) in a
restaurant. I tend to buy lamb shanks more than anything. They're usually
a much better deal than even the good sized loin chops. Lots more meat on
them, that's for sure I haven't seen a price that decent per pound for a
leg of lamb; sounds like you got a good deal. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
