luther Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Does anyone know where you can buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miltonbentley Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Islamic butcher on Charoen Prathet Road near to the bridge by the Holiday Inn. Going towards the bridge the butcher is on your left. He rears sheep here in CM but does not always have it in stock in the shop. He can always get lamb with 24 hours notice. The owner is a very nice guy and speaks good English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchiangmai Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I confirm the information about the halal butcher.1 kg without bones is about 380 THB. I make a lamb/beef sausage and it is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaideeguy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 But, most importantly.....is it tender and can you get western cuts like leg or rib rack?? and another most important......is it young lamb or mutton?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 A friend told me (hear say) that the AG college at the University raise sheep and you can get lamb from them. He even mentioned that they butcher on site. Maybe someone else has the details as I am not a fan of lamb, so did not get the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadish_sweetball Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Indian food labelled 'mutton' that I've had here in Thailand tends to taste more like goat than lamb to me. Maybe I've been unlucky, or the sheep are just on a different type of diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen any Sheep in Thailand except a truck load in the Bangkok Sukhumvit Arab area. Plenty of goat meat is imported from Burma though.

In Indian/Pakistani cuisine, mutton really means "meat", which is usually goat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_meat Plenty of other links too if you google variations of Indian, mutton, goat, lamb. thanks for the tip on the Halal butcher.

Mapguy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yes, in Burma, people do not make fine distinctions between goats and sheep. Rather like comparing the generals with the people there. The generals eat everything including the roots; the people go "baa." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
