Thread: Chops

  1. #1

    Chops

    I had mutton chops last night & they were far more flavoursome than lamb & at half the price. Why do you not see these in many butchers?

    Because people mistakingly believe that lamb is more tender than mutton which, provided you cook it correctly, is patently untrue.

    But chops aren't actually that good, are they? They're simple to cook but ultimately mostly disappointing. With the possible exception of these f*ck off huge veal chops I used to get in NY which when pan fried with mushrooms were quite divine.

    How's things in Dorset? What's your weekly alcohol consumption like nowadays?

    Because you have to raise the animal much longer at greater expense to get it old enough to be mutton - and people generally won't pay for the difference, so it's not cost-effective.

    Perhaps they could disguise the chops of younger beasts and charge more. Lamb dressed as mutton so to speak

    I'm going to be frank with you here, b. Devon, Dorset, Cornwall - I have no idea which is which. It's all a bit 'out west' to me, I fear.

    No loss there, Charles, as it's all sh1t. Sh1t weather, sh1t food, sh1t people - all sh1t.

    You can drive to France in less time than it takes to get there, as well. Why on earth would someone spend time in the west when you could spend it in France?

    Insane.

    I don't really know Dorset that well. Never spent much time there. Devon I love. Cornwall's nice, but it's ridicules hard to get to.
