Interesting! My experience of American lamb doesn't even begin to
favorably compare with that of antipodean lamb (well, specifically in
New Zealand, not in Ocker Land!) New Zealand lamb was an entirely
different critter and I quite literally ordered it every time I dined
out and many a time when dining in. New Zealand stores have displays
of lamb that are similar to what an American store (typical one)
stocks in beef cuts. Then again, as my Kiwi pal says, NZ is a country
of 4 million people and 40 million sheep. Do the math :-)
