Given the large carbon footprint that is inherent with red meat, why would some idiot add to it by flying a lambs leg all the way from New Zealand. If anyone has been to England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland you would have noticed every other field is full of sheep. :disappointed:

To all you lot knocking NZ lamb, how can you expect to export if you don't import?
And to the "farmers", have a look around you and tot up all the imported goods you have. And don't bother saying you can't buy British this, that or the next thing. The reason you can't is because you and everybody else chose to buy imported goods, because imported goods were cheaper. You weren't bothered about other people's livelihoods then.

Couldn't agree more! We import all this New Zealand lamb, when amoungst the best in the world is reared on our very own UK doorstep. I may be slightly bias living in Wales :smile: It's a great price OP but I wish the supermarkets would do more to support and buy in British lamb :smiley:

Rather pay £5 a kg and get it from the meat counter at Tescos which are British.

yes but its more bone per kg than a whole leg so probably better to get a whole leg

I'm not surprised at the drop in price, especially the way they are breeding them now!

I think the vast majority of NZ meat is transported by sea, air freight would add too much to the price/costs/profits etc.

Buy British and support the farmers, it's so hard to make a living. No idea why we have to import beef, pork lamb etc

I always buy half spring Welsh lamb, fresh from my local butcher, but this is cheaper and good deal for people on budget.
