Some people seem to have an issue with Australian lamb. I had some last
year and it was delicious.

Australian lamb is slaughtered at a younger age than American lamb. American lamb is larger and more 'muttony' than Australian lamb. To me American lamb has more flavor and I like the larger size chops.

That is absolutely not true for any lamb I've ever eaten labeled
"American". However, a few years ago someone (I think it was Marty)
posted the regulations and we had zero parameters for lamb. That was
back when Australian lamb tasted awful, so I could only conclude it
was so they could import mutton and sell it as "lamb".

You're *such* an idiot.
And you'll never, ever, realise just by how much.

She's not an idiot, just a case of never having lived outside the USA
so has the thought patterns of one who has not lived abroad. 'What she
sees is how it is' and this is not questioned.

American 'lamb' is normally hogget or mutton by definition elsewhere.
The few times they get actual baby lamb, they dont knw what to do with
t and in fact, most do not know what to do with hogget or mutton either.

Don't blame her or others like her. It was a meat prety much not
available for 50 years or more unless you raised sheep yourself. Before
then it was available in pockets here and there across the USA but not
a mainstay.

The REALl butcher, at the real butcher store here in town sells local, pastured and organic where possible meat. He sells local American lamb. I asked him about why his legs and boneless legs and chops etc. seemed larger that what I could find elsewhere. He explained that in the US lambs are generally slaughtered later and Australian lamb is slaughtered earlier.
So, what is true for you is not necessarily true everywhere.

USA has no age restrictions on age of the animal and calls it all Lamb.
Other countries have age restrictions on how you label it. In the USA,
mutton (3 tooth and past that) is sold as 'lamb'.

USA folks dont eat our own lamb because:

1- historically priced very high and maintained that way due to the
cattle industry.

2- no control on age, you get what you get and the price can be 20$ a
lb for hogget (dropping now based on imports).

3- cost has been so high and quality low drove prices up for so long
that most current shoppers do not know how to cook lamb properly so
give up after a try or two.

The main problem with the imports is:

1- USA folks are so used to aged (mutton) that they do not recognize
the difference.

2- USA folks have no clue that actually mutton can be superior in the
right cooking methods for some dishes. Schwarma (sp?) for example will
not be right with a younger meat.

The current shoulder blade cuts i get are definately mutton level aged
animals and *perfect* for the curries I use them with.

I know what decent lamb should taste like and I know when it doesn't.
My mother used to raise lamb and slaughtered them at the correct age.

Australia does not import mutton and sell it as lamb. American lamb has a very strong gamey taste, the flesh is much darker than Australian or NZ lamb. I think American lamb tastes like something between hogett and mutton.

Whatever American lamb is (that's all I've ever eaten), I've
always heard that it's mild tasting but I have no other to
compare to. Regardless, I love American lamb. Equal to a good
ribeye steak to me.

I doubt if ANYONE has ever tried to "pawn off" mutton as lamb.

If she found that Australian lamb was "awful" then it was old or not
handled properly.

As a meat cutter, I cut up lamb from Australia and New Zealand. My
customers knew what they were getting and what they wanted. Never had a
complaint.

Personally, I prefer Canadian grown lamb and I presume American grown lamb
is much the same. Our Canadian grown lamb is delicious and I love it
oven-broiled and cut about 1 inch thick or better.

Canadian lamb is pretty good. NZ lamb is not as good, but it is a heck
of a lot easier on the wallet.

I only had Australian lamb once and there was nothing wrong with it at
all. Maybe it depends to some degree on how much you like lamb compared
to other meats. I love lamb and I could use a very cruse scale to
rate various cuts of meats. Lamb tenderloin would be at the top of
the list, followed by rack of lamb or loin chops. Then we go to beef
tenderloin, rib eyes, Porterhouse. People who rank lamb lower in a
list like that might start quibbling about the source, but I usually
figure that even the worst examples of those prime cuts of lamb are
better than the best cuts of beef.

I've eaten:
English (including salt-marsh)
French
Alberta
Australian
New Zealand
and it has all been good! Some might have had a stronger flavour than
others but since I like the taste, I can accept them all.

I had an issue with Australian lamb for many years and it wasn't for a
lack of trying. I finally gave it up in favor or NZ, but I tried it
again a few months ago and discovered the flavor had drastically
improved. I don't know if the store changed suppliers or what
happened, but it was good enough to change my attitude and I'll try
the lamb at Costco with an open mind.

You didn't like 'Australian lamb' but now suspect "the store changed
suppliers". Well, which is it then?

Seriously, you're an imbecile. Then again, maybe the 'Australian Lamb'
factory have brought out a new model? Jesus H...

Both online at the same time. You're up late and I'm up early. I'm

Be awa there is a thin plastic packet of some kind in the pack,
underneath the meat. I missed it the first time I bought it and sliced
right into it, releasing some sort of blood-soaked gel.

I buy that Costco OZ lamb from time to time, mostly to cut up for
stew. It is neither wonderful nor terrible. I prefer NZ lamb, which is hard
to find these days, but not for any reason I can articulate. The
American-grown lamb we get in stores is top-notch, with prices to match.

Everyone in my wife's family liked lamb except her dad. I think I have
mentioned this befo he ate so much NZ mutton during the war that he
eschewed the ovines ever since.

My mother told me that many lamb hating men from the WWII era had
eaten mutton back then and it's a flavor that will ruin most people on
"lamb" forever. She hated mutton, but knew the difference between
mutton and lamb - so she cooked leg of lamb for us once or twice a
year.

My father was one of those whose hatred is a result of the war years.
He spent about 3 years in England and Scotland during the war and was
fed a lot of mutton. He would not touch lamb.

One thing I find interesting is the polar attitudes that people have
about lamb. They seem to love it or hate it. Among our friends and
relatives there are not many couples where both like it. My wife and I
both like it. My oldest brother loves is, as did his late wife. My next
older brother loves it but his wife hates it. My younger brother hates
it and his wife loves it. My SiL loves it but her husband hates it. My
son is not all that crazy about lamb but he used to endure it because I
make a curry with the leftovers and he loves that.

You are so right. In the early 70s I used to get a big bag of ox tails
for about 25 cents and we would have enough for a good feed for supper
and enough left over for another supper. These days they sell them in
packs of 3 or 4 for at least $6 per pack and it takes 2 packs to get
enough to make it worth cooking them. Forget about leftovers. I can
pick up a couple steaks and save myself time and money.
