Been quoted £1.99 per pound for a whole lamb from a very good country butcher.
I shall get that at the end of November.

Halal butcher does lamb half the price of the premium supermarket.

Must get a load of pork belly. I really like that and oxtail for stew.

I have been almost all meat. I guess I must start putting veggies in again.

Shepherds pie with a carrot turnip topping is good

do you think that is expensive for lamb? premium supermarket is £7 per pound!

yes I have had goat and liked it but not everyday

No, I think it's a great price! Food's expensive where I live, and it's taxed. For example, broccoli and cucumbers run about $1.00 per serving.

I bought a couple rutabagas and don't know what to do with them.  Any suggestions...What do they taste like???

Oooh - I never saw this before - I love swede (that's what we call rutabaga) - my mum used to boil it together with equal amounts of parsnip and carrot and mash it together with some butter and pepper when we were kids to get us to eat more veg.  Yummy with gravy or any kind of meat sauce and meat and green veggies on a cold winter's day - ahhh takes me right back.
