in the US all foreign products must carry the label of origin-- seldom (i think never) is fresh lamb imported-- in the midwest there are very few
slaughter plants that will do lamb-- i know of only one commercial one outside of kc and only 3 that will do it for an individual--the import number
quoted in an earlier post reflect what i would have quessed to be correct-- fresh anything is better than something that has been frozen or canned--
and shipped great distances. i sell lamb locally to an ethnic market (individuals come and purchase the lamb--i deliver to the slaughter house--
only one that i know of will allow the jewish and muslims to come in and slaughter according to religious customs

If it's Borrego it's lamb! Birria is often Chiva (or goat) which is also good.

That's what I thought... since birria (de borrego) is so popular and common, what is the problem with getting 'borrego' from the meat markets in Baja?
Where do the birriaias get the stuff?
Now I'm hungry!

Lamb in Rosarito
The El Nido chain of restaurants (El Nido, Los Pelicanos and Tapanco) serve rack of lamb and lamb burritos taken from the critters they raise on their
family ranch. The main El Nido restaurant that is a few blocks north of the Rosarito Beach hotel has a meat counter, if I recall correctly.
Also, La Estancia restaurant serves lamb and has a meat counter that sells beef, but I have never checked it for lamb.
Also, I have bought lamb cuts from the Calimax in town.
Someone told me some time ago that lamb is the most unadulterated meat that is commercially raised, i.e., no growth hormones, anitbiotics, etc. They
explained to me why that is, but CRS is settling into my life these days.

David, birria is made with goat. Barbacoa is made with lamb.

We buy our lamb from a local grower. But when ever we can't find it locally, you can find lamb legs at Sams and CCC, and lamb Chuck at Soriana and
City Club. For rack of lamb, only Costco in Cabo.
We just bought a whole Venison carcass from Lupe Perez. I am going to cut it up and use some parts for braising, some for grillin, and leftovers for
machaca and sausages.

Its common among Taco stands mainly because its cheaper and easier to make. Almost all birrierias (birria restaurants) use goat. Goat birria is
definately tastier, but also fattier and a lot more rich. So not suitable for a quick Taco in the morning a few times a week.

Jesse... is goat birria identified as 'chiva', or also as borrego? Is 'borrego' ALWAYS lamb?
Thanks

Jesse. My timing must be off. I don't have a Sam's card but have a City Club card. Never have seen lamb at any of those stores you mentioned, but that
maybe because we're only in La Paz a few times a year. To contradict my own "never" statement, one time I found a leg of lamb at Soriana's, but it was
so sorry looking and expensive that I decided against buying.
We will be in La Paz in the next few weeks and will try again.

Lamb at Sam's is new, maybe the reason why you didnt see it before. And i agree with you about Soriana's Lamb, it looks like its been there since
1989.

Poor little bleating teary eyed crying nappy haired babys. Anybody who would kill and eat such a gentle animal and belch approval of that act is only
one small step from eating his own young.
While you're at it, quit fishing just to kill fish.
How about a nice salad?

Aw, DENNIS, don't tell me you never sucked down a juicy little oyster, just barely starting it's life?
or a baby red potato, or tender greens in your salad?
sorry, buddy, not gonna bite....
BUT!
I do have a comment about the "branding" of food items...
As was brought up earlier in this thread, the reference to "New Zealand Lamb" and similar items, sounds to me like an attempt by the growers to market
their product.
Kobe Beef---------(tried a Kobe Beef steak sold at our Washington state grocery store and it could not compete with our locally grown beef which we
buy by the Half...........and at less than A THIRD the price of the Kobe beef!)
Lamb- we have a few local sheep ranchers who market their products. We have had several Baja-cooked excellent tasting cabrito dinners which inspired
us to try some lamb with home-cooking.
I think some of the hoop-la is marketing by......... the New Zealand Lamb Growers Ass'n. [I don't know if such an organization really exists....but
you know the type I'm talking about...] ...
You can't blame them for marketing a product and creating a "demand"...
We see ads sponsored by the Dairymen, the Beef association, the Egg growers, Pork (the other white meat), GotMilk, .............
the list goes on and on...just like the commercials!
PS-DENNIS- I agree with the "kwit fishin' just to kill fish"... sentiment, but don't really see how that applies to this discussion.
Go Sport fishing and catch some awesome fish......AWESOME. Cook them, eat them, can them.... it's all good.
Go Sport fishing and catch some awesome fish...AWESOME. Throw them over the side and go back for more....................not good.
Get back to SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
