Availability of Lamb in BCS
Why is lamb, my favorite meat , so hard to find in BCS ?
Have tried many a times in La Paz, with the help of the desk people in the El Moro, where we stay 4 to 5 times a year, and have yet to find a place
where they sell lamb. Lots of flocks of sheep in the Constitution and Lopez Mateo's area, so lamb must be somewhere. Any of you guys living in the La
Paz area have any useful inf. about this ?

Van:
At the Fresno Ejido going from Loreto, go out to the Ejido about 7 miles South. There is a Large Dairy and was at one time a Sheep Farm.
Might ask at the Public Market in Constitution.
Lamb is also my Favorite and would you beleive here in the Beef Capitol of the World I have to Order Lamb ahead of time from Albertsons. Reason being,
I am told, is that Cowboys don't eat Lamb! Also Local Lamb is very High in Price.{Lamb Shanks $19.23 a Lb.}.

I can hear one right now outside my window. My neighbors have had him tied up for about 2 weeks feeding him lotsa green stuff. I cannot stand to
hear him cry. He seems to be saying...noooooo
nooooooooot meeeeeeeee, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Borrega is grown up lamb, I think and can be tough.
Remember tail up....goat
Tail down......sheep

It is funny how the answer pops up just when you ask yourself outloud....I want to find some lamb....wonder why it is so difficult to find??....Yahoo
for all your wonderful places to chase down some lamb....and mint jelly of course...if not will have to make my own..
also isn't borrego more of a "mutton"? yuck....only the young ones are perfectly tender.and sweet...as the older ones are tough and smell awful..just
my personal opion from being semi-raised on a sheep farm.....
O happy day!!!

kellychapman.... I think that you are right on with your call on Borrego bieng ... mutom. But I have enjoyed BBQing it. Any good dry rub for a few
hours or over night. Then I turn the BBQ on high and burn the outside. Be carefull because it is really fatty and can catch fire BIG time! Then I turn
it down to low and cook it for a few hours until it just comes off the bone. If you put it in foil after the burn it comes out really juicy and tender
when finished. And not so messy on the BBQ. An orange base sauce is really nice with it. So far my farvorite cut is the shoulder.

I think if you check the Meet markets instead of the desk people in the El Moro hotel. you will find it everywhere.

Tried that Bruce, long before asking, without luck. See, not as dumb as you think I am
BTW. Kelly,
According to the dictionary, Carnero is mutton, borrego is a yearling lamb and cordero is lamb in general.

Soriana Meat Dept
I was in La Paz two weeks ago and saw some decent looking lamb/borrego chops in the meat department at Soriana (not sure if thats the name of the mall
or the store itself). Also a whole case full of their heads so possibly if you ask the butchers they can get you something farther down on the
carcass. Side note - I bought good frozen quail there.
We often buy 'ram' ribs at Super Ley in CC. Cook them like beef ribs (dry rub, beer, onions, covered pan in oven an hour, finish on grill with
sauce). Tender and tasty.
I also highly recommend stopping at the place in Insurgentes someone mentioned, La Candelaria...just south of the big turn from Loreto. I never
knew borrego birria was so great for breakfast!
