Sorry, no pics.
I went to see my butcher (Steve) again today. Still trying to get some of his apple & onion lard. He didn't have any, only plain. Oh, well.
He just got in some new lamb from Peter, across town and had some "ree - ibs". See this post.

I think he had the same kind of rack but cut up into individual ribs. I asked "How much?" He said "$3/Lb". I told him to give me a pound. He wrapped 'em up and marked it $3. I weighed the package when I got home, just for fun. Yep, 1.45 pounds as usual. Steve is a good guy.
Grilled slowly on the gasser. Fabulous.
I have to tell ya, there's nothing like fresh local lamb compared to the stuff in the cryovac from half way around the world.
Need to make sure you give him a Christmas Card.
You are blessed ! Real butchers are a dying breed. Nearest one I can find is about 50 miles away.
Got to love a good Butcher! Mine takes care of me.
You are also lucky to get American raised lamb. Most lambs in this country are raised for their wool.
