Show Lamb Always In Season jSays National Board Lamb is always available in any section of the country. There is no time when the housewife cannot enjoy the advantage of varying her menu with lamb, according to the National Live Stock and Meat Board. Too few meat buyers realize this, due probably to the mistaken idea that lamb is not to be had except for a few months of the year, during the spring and early summer. This seems to be the only good reason why lamb, which is delicious delic-ious ana which furnishes excellent roasts and chops, is not used more extensively than it is, continues the Board. The entire lamb carcass is tender, hence there is not the problem of a great difference in cooking methods to render certain cuts tender. The forequarter cuts may be roasted or broiled just as well as the hindquarter cuts. There is convenience and economy for th housewife in this fact. While the breast may not be so desirable a roast as the shoulder or the leg, as it is a thinner piece of meat, yet It is tender and well flavored and is very moderate ln price. While steaks cut from the arm side or the rib side of the shoulder may not be so attractive in appearance as the rib or loin cnops, yet they are tender ten-der p.nd well flavored and they may be broiled with just as satisfactory results as the so-called choice chops. Indeed, in the lamb, we have a source of meat, all of which may be cooked by the cookery methods meth-ods applied to tender cuts; namely, roasting, broiling and panbroiling. East Tats Most Lamb Figures regarding the consumption consump-tion of lamb that while about 75 per cent of the lamb raised is produced pro-duced west of the Mississippi River, Riv-er, nearly 90 per cent of it is eaten east of the Mississippi. The most extensive use of lamb is along the Atlantic seaboard tne South is next in the consumption of lamb; then the West, and the Corn Belt consumes con-sumes less than any section of the country. Since improved methods of production pro-duction and distribution have made lamb available at all times of the year, the housewife, who desires a pleasing variety m her meals, will be glad to have this fact called to her attention. |
