[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7935976, member: 699"] Lamb has always been a luxury meat which is why we have sent so much to France over the years as they have no problem with paying a high price for a quality product. Why do most of the high end cooking programmes on the TV use lamb as their main dishes. Why do the ethnic community eat large quantities of sheep meat (they aren't allowed to eat pork!). The right sort of sheep is more important than the price for Religious Festivals. We devalued our own product through large quantities of NZ lamb being sent here until the late 1990's. The only good thing about NZ was that they spent a lot of money advertising lamb which helped our market. It is a very versatile meat and for some dishes mutton can be used which often makes it have even more flavour. We have not always advertised it as a high value, naturally fed and very healthy meat which creates the landscape of the UK which adds value to the tourist industry. The price is not too high, but the attitude to marketing it needs to up its game. Any traditional butcher will tell you that they always sell more lamb when the price is high!! [/QUOTE]
