[Sca-cooks] Re: Lamb Prices

Thu Jul 17 18:53:42 PDT 2003

99c US per lb = about $4 Australian per kg - Lordy - that is cheap.  
Went shopping last night and due to the extended drought legs of lamb (boned) for roasting were $20.98 per kilo!!!  5 times the amount.

Dominica is an island between Guadeloupe and Martinique. Haiti has at times
been referred to as Dominique (French usage) which often get pronounce
"dominica" in various flavors of English.

The Long Journey of Gracia Mendes is the biography of a Portuguese girl who
married a Jewish Ragusan spice trader. The facts that the author is from
UCLA and that there is a thesis on Ragusan spice traders at UCLA, suggests a
link between Birnbaum and the thesis, providing additional cachet for the
thesis.

Well, apparently, no. Their Tourism Board seems to make it pretty 
clear that they're a different entity, and I also suspect Haiti would 
have something to say about the land mass they share with Santo 
Domingo being named Dominica.

I'm not sure what that island housing Haiti and the Dominican 
Republic is called, if it is not still known by Columbus' name of 
Hispaniola.

It doesn't matter much; the news story I heard which mentioned this 
island had to do with the trial of a man claiming to be a voodoo 
priest (charged with bringing hazardous materials onto an airplane, 
IIRC), and he is apparently a native of this island, so that got me 
wondering.

Wow. That is a good price. I would like to try more lamb dishes, but 
here the selection of different cuts is poor and the price is about 
double beef, depending upon the cut.
> Anybody got any favorite recipes?
I'm not sure which of these recipes might be conducive to lamb breast, 
but there is this file in the FOOD-MEATS section of the Florilegium:
lamb-mutton-msg (89K) 9/ 4/01 Medieval lamb and mutton. Recipes.

** Britain lays claim to lasagne **
Britain has stunned Italy by claiming that lasagne is as British as roast
beef and Yorkshire pudding.

No, but I would like to live past the end of the month! It's not so much 
the dish itself; it's the extended labor and mess involved. I keep telling 
her I'll clean everything up, but that doesn't quite satisfy her. It's 
really hard to cook when your SO stalks into the kitchen and starts washing 
dishes and muttering right in the middle of things.
