Professional advice on purchasing lamb legs
- Most supermarket stores have lamb legs at the meat counter. Here are some buying suggestions for lamb: Purchase from a trustworthy butcher.
- Since this isn’t always a cheap cut of meat, make sure to purchase it from a reputable source and ask all the necessary questions.
- Seek out the market weight. Don’t purchase young mutton or lamb because the flesh is rougher and older.
- Ask the butcher to remove the fat for a less “gamy” taste.
- The heavy coating of fat that usually covers this cut of lamb will be trimmed because it tends to give the meat a pronounced, gamy flavor.
- Remember that a small amount of fat preserves and insulates the meat.
