It was again on the finish of February that I stated I might a flowery to make a correct quaint meat and dumplings stew. I purchased a packet of suet for the dumplings however then could not discover any neck of lamb chops within the first locations I attempted – they’re the tastiest cuts for a stew – not lots of meat however all of the flavour. Even the butchers in Diss did not have them. However lastly I noticed one pack on it is personal on the cabinets in Morrisons.
It’s extremely unusual that the cuts of meat that I knew from having our personal lambs butchered are referred to as various things in numerous butchers. The butchers in Diss supplied me small cutlet chops after I requested for neck of lamb chops and after I demonstrated they have been spherical he stated I meant Stewing Scrags! a reputation I might by no means heard earlier than.
The stew made sufficient for 2 days and the dumplings, gravy and greens have been scrumptious however the meat was disappointing – no flavour and nothing like I remembered from our personal lamb all these years in the past. I did not take meals images as a stew is not very photogenic!
We’ve got a scarcity of correct butchers now however I do know of a pair extra to attempt in two different villages so subsequent time I fancy a stew that is the place I am going to go.
Again Tomorrow
