[Sca-cooks] lamb at feast (was: fish at feast)

[Elaine Koogler]

Hmmmmm....look around your area for some sort of restaurant suppy place.  We
have one near us called Restaurant Depot.  They do have a Web site,
www.restaurantdepot.com, so try checking that out to see if there's one near
you.  The reason I mention this is that I regularly get boneless leg of lamb
there and most I've paid is $3.40/lb.  Usually I get it for less.  I also
get REALLY good prices on beef, fish and chicken...also pork!  Boneless,
skinless chicken breasts for, often times, $1.29/lb!!
