Soooo excited,
Upright chest freezer now empty, being defrosted and will be ready to fill with vacum sealed food. Cleared up around freeze & found capacity 163 whatever that  means, i think thats enough room.

Hope I can use the vacum sealer ok, a bit slow at gadgets......

I usually cook up all the scrag pieces when I am cooking the leg Hally.  They I let DH just sit and pull bits off it for a snack or do it myself and make a 'free' shepherds pie or something with it. There is plenty of meat in there amongst the fat and if you don't mind spending some time getting it out and getting messy, it is worth the effort.

Lamb neck makes a lovely Irish Stew.

I hope it's nice. It needs long, slow cooking.

Still in freezer, I think it will stay there a while, the word neck puts me off


My friend can have all the weird pieces tomorrow as a bonus, as I still have the last lot to get through.

I do the same!!!! - flaps and scraps as my dear mum called them  she taught me well 

I think it makes the BEST shepherds pie - I don't generally make it otherwise as I don't like it

Waste not, want not aye Kathryn     I have often though, whilst doing these messy jobs, who else would be bothered doing this - now I know the answer to that, you

Yes, also good in any other slow-cooked dish.  Morrocan couscous style dishes are great to use up neck chops.  In summer I cook lamb neck in a spicy broth before adding carrots, capsicum, courgettes, chickpeas, tomatoes...  the lot piled on couscous! YUM!
