Oh, while you're trying things, definitely try the shepherd's pie!
Around here, Whole Foods occasionally has sales on their ground lamb that is comparable to the ground beef I get from them That being said, it will probably be ground beef, though I am looking for a local farmer to hook up for lamb. I recently found a local source for grass-fed bison that is actually pretty affordable - at least the kind of cuts that I am interested in! nothing wrong with braising the so-called "lesser" cuts!
