Three Safeways, three Times Supermarkets, one Foodland, one Yamasin Meat Market. Those are places I've unsuccessfully been to find two lamb racks or a mess of loin chops which my sister wants for her birthday dinner Thursday night. Anybody wanna ship me a sheep?
Update: My sheep came in! Went to Costco (after calling) with a friend who's a member and got 4+ pounds of 1-inch thick loin chops @ $6.99/lb. Yum!

Posted by: Sue at October 29, 2003 07:04 AMDecent lamb is almost impossible to find in the United States. My husband never had a problem getting it when he lived in the UK.
Posted by: Elayne Riggs at October 29, 2003 07:19 AMMary (snort), I think your lamb should be sacrificed for my sister's needs.
Solly, that's only worth a "groan."
Elayne, we get decent NZ lamb, but there's been a run on it or something.
Sue, thank you. That's where we used to buy it.
Neener, Sarah does brilliant work, doesn't she?
Posted by: Linkmeister at October 29, 2003 08:03 AMMy email to you just bounced back, argh ... but Sam's Club in Pearl City has racks of lamb in stock right now (no chops, though), and the Schofield commissary will be getting their lamb shipment tomorrow, which they expect to contain legs, loin chops, but no racks.
I hope this helps -- if you'd need either of these things picked up, give me a call (I'm in the book).
Posted by: Sue at October 29, 2003 11:52 AMThanks, Sue. I found 'em! Now back to Safeway to find baking potatoes in smaller quantities than the 20-lb bag Costco wanted to sell me ;)
Posted by: Linkmeister at October 29, 2003 01:05 PMYay! I was worrying about this on your behalf all afternoon until I could get back to the computer, which is a pretty sad reflection on how dull my life is. ;)
Just in general, the warehouse stores tend to have good meat.
