🥩 Ask The Butcher
What’s the difference between lamb leg and lamb shoulder?
Both are fantastic cuts, but they shine in different ways.
✔️ Lamb shoulder has more connective tissue and intramuscular fat, making it perfect for slow cooking, curries, casseroles and pulled lamb.
✔️ Lamb leg is leaner and ideal for roasting, butterflying on the BBQ, slicing and quicker cooks.
The best choice comes down to how you want to cook it.
