I love both shoulder and arm chops. Lamb is one of the last meats that
they haven't figured out how to profitably hormone-ize and such. One
can consider it, by default, organic.

I like to make soups with the neck portion and shanks as well. As you
know the coriander and garlic are natural with lamb. I also like to
put a bunch of turmeric in - it is really good for you and always goes
well with lamb.

I have two arm chops that I am going to eat tonight, after marinading
them in the whey from some yogurt I made the other day.
