How does half a Irish Spring Lamb look like ?

People might think a Irish spring lamb is huge, but once chopped up it fits easily in a small freezer.

Well in my case i got half a spring lamb at Scully's, the local butcher here in West Cork. Buying half a lamb makes in many ways sense, but the main reason is the price.

Compared to buy all the parts one by one you save about 40 Euro by buying the half of an actual lamb and the butcher chops it up for you, the way you like it.

So you might see the next few weeks a lot of lamb recipes in this blog. The most important about most lamb parts is, cook it slowly, very slowly !
