Neck of lamb stew!

My dad says you can't get neck of lamb anymore due to EU regs...is this true?

I must admit I've never seen it in the supermarket or butchers. I want to make the stew my mum made but need the neck for this!

As far as I'm aware, you can still get neck of lamb. I definitely saw some in Sainsburys a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps it called something else in a supermarket ?
In Asda, Shin Beef is called Stewing steak

You can get it. Sainsbury's sell lamb neck fillet.
If you want a full cut of it then you may have to try the butcher instead.

You can get neck of lamb chops but it isn't easy to find. I bought 2 packs in Morrisons about 3 months ago and it was the first time i had seen it in about 10 years. They are great for making a hotpot.

I saw them in Tesco a few weeks ago. Never had it before - thinking about buying it once I research some recipes

If you don't mind halal (don't shoot me!), most halal butchers sell it.

Yes they do I'd forgotten all about Halal.

They are a nice taste IMHO. Don't really need a lot doing to them.

And stewing is unnecessary as lamb is quite tender.

You can get neck of lamb off the shelf in tesco and at the meat counter. Great in curries and stews.

Really nice cut is neck fillet. Excellent in a lamb tagine. As others have said, it's beautifully tender and shouldn't be overcooked.

Depends where you are in the country.
I asked and the assistant had a very confused look on their face.

Neck of lamb stew? What's that?

I take it you mean Lancashire Hotpot?

(You know how partisan I am about Lancashire, Qui! )
