After cooking: Allow to rest for 15 minutes loosely covered with foil before carving. Check food is piping hot. All cooking appliances vary. This is a guide only. Oven cook from chilled 190°C / Fan 170°C / Gas 5 25 mins per 500g

    is New Zealand's lamb not halal?

    I used to work for one of the big retailers and spoken to the buying manager. He mentioned that pretty much all new Zealand lamb was halal. I asked why its not on the label and he said it would basically put most consumers off. But yes high likelihood of being halal.

    They’ve done a snaky one, there was British lamb on the front aisles where all the special offers were, that was at £13 per kg, NewZeland lamb which is £6.50 was amongst the lamb meat.
    This offer on New Zealand lamb only. It also had some ice frosting on the outside, so must be straight out of freezer containers onto the shop shelves. (edited)

    The till is spitting £6 off £40 for us so maybe go buy something first just to check. Will be using our voucher on 3 legs later today.

    Does anyone know when this deal runs until?
    Do supermarkets normally have lamb deals closer to Christmas, so mid December time at all?
    Mellor's avatar
    Mellor
    Tesco and asda normally do. But if they special offers on them round mine it was hard to get one as they was all snapped up

    HUKDs of course

    There's a £15 off a £60 spend on here somewhere. Lemme know if you can't find it and I'll dig it out.

    Pair that with the 25% off 6 or more bottles of wine and boom.

    Not particularly cheap and halal is a big put off. Stick with Aldi @7.99 kg - British Lamb - baa

    I would have got one, but need it to be cut into small pieces something I cannot do with a knife

    Cook it whole, then de-bone it + cut up the meat into smaller portions. Freeze the portions in individual freezer bags for easy defrosting.

    Saves wasting freezer space on that big leg bone (y). And, because of its nice strong flavour, it tastes just as good when defrosted (I often put into a sandwich or roll, after quickly warming for a minute in the microwave)

    Thanks for this deal OP

    p.s. I usually batch-cook two legs at a time, then portion-up for the freezer (they fit nicely top-to-toe in a roasting tin) (edited)

    Sainsbury's Local near me had no stock yesterday around midday. Tried again shortly after opening this morning and had lots of stock so got one. Sounds like they keep replenishing. Thanks.

    This was the front of aisle display this morning @ 7am in my local store, all New Zealand £10- £19 in price and another 30 odd in the normal display area for the lamb

    Why? It's generally not the tastiest lamb.
  21. Tripletrouble's avatar

    Buy British, buy meat slaughtered in the right, humane way.
    SampleX's avatar
    SampleX
    Buying British doesn't guarantee it's not slaughtered by bacon-averse beardy men...

    Probably around half of it is.

    Lamb is one of those meats which has been increasing quickly in price... More so than beef or chicken.
    Good deal!

    Finally some good news. Will load up for the winter. not sure why we're importing lamb from new zealand though when we have excellent lamb in Britain.
    SampleX's avatar

    Price.

    You might like paying the extortionate price for the much smaller number of meat sheep in the UK but many people can't.

    Try Waitrose? They're bound to have some, their little feet still clinging to a miniature union jack and the grins on their faces of knowing they had black passports...
