When I made the lamb dish this weekend, I bought the meat at a local
Pakistani grocery. Judging from the price lists, their most popular
meats are lamb and goat, and they will sell either animal whole or in
halves. I ordered 2+ pounds of lamb rib. The butcher walked into the
fridge and brought out an entire lamb carcass, complete with head. It
"stared" at me for a moment before he cut the head off and tossed it
aside. I found the experience uncomfortable, but I figured that it was the
part of the price of being a carnivore.
I have to say that our area of northern New Jersey is blessed with many
ethnic food stores that carry all kinds of interesting goods. At this
same Pakistani grocery, I picked up a spare bottle of rosewater, as well
as some pomegranate molasses (there's a recipe I want to redact Real
Soon Now -- a sauce of almond milk drawn up with pomegranate juice
and spices). One of the local supermarkets has started carrying all
kinds of organ meats, I think in an attempt to compete with the meat
department of a large Chinese grocery in the same town. Now, if I could
only find a local source of real verjuice...
