Mutton is harder to get ahold of than the morrisons curry the OP actually wants

Both as average as you'd expect - but it's not chicken!
They also do hot lamb curry in a tin, which sounds revolting but no worse than other ready meal curry.

I just checked Sainsbury's website and they only do one Indian meat based ready meal that isn't chicken k is a lamb rogan josh or whatever?

Ask Cotty
I don't eat ready meal curries. But I do use jars of paste, this is probably my favorite at the moment although the Pataks is ok. I add:Diced beef
Onion
peppers
chillis (optional)
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Brown the meat on the hob, add the onons and peppers, cook for a bit. Add the past and tomatoes give it a stir then bung it in the oven, stiring every half hour.

Hmmm well isn’t that weird? I’m sure W few years ago they all did a bit more of a varied line up.
Its not too dificult to knock one up yourself, Sainsburys even have the cooking instructions on their website"Preheat oven to 180°C, Fan 160°C, Gas Mark 4. Heat 15ml oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. During cooking: Once oil is hot add 1 diced onion and pan fry for 4 minutes until soft, stirring regularly. Stir in 450g of lamb and the contents of the jar of Rogan Josh Curry Paste and fry for 4 minutes, until sealed and golden. Transfer to an ovenproof dish with a lid and add 200ml water and a 400g can of chopped tomatoes. Place on the middle of shelf in the oven and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes, until meat is tender".

I needed some minced lamb neck fillet at the weekend and the butcher (indy farm shop) had none fresh, only frozen and he mentioned it’s crazy pricey at the moment, guessing down to a lack of supply?
I have never understood why we produce so much lamb, sell it, then have to import it from New Zealand.

I have never understood why we produce so much lamb, sell it, then have to import it from New Zealand. There must be some freight/export issues at the moment, as the supermarkets have been selling lamb racks incredibly cheaply.

Whenever racks are on special at New World, I get several. BBQ rare.
