Where are you based? In Dublin, there's an Asian shop on Mary Street (http://www.asianfood.ie/) that has a butchers at the back that has minced lamb.

Tescos normally have it prepacked and your local butcher may have it available on the counter. If your butcher is very helpful they may mince it for your on the spot from pieces of shoulder. Helps if you are looking for a reasonable amount as the machine will have to be washed down before mincing anything else.

Thanks I'll pop to the local butcher and see if they will do it, if not then I'll try Tesco.

I just ask my butcher to mince some , and he does so ... I expect any decent butcher would do the same

My local supervalue always has it - no need to go to meat counter as it;s normally on the shelf.

Love minced lamb for Shepards pie or Mousakka.... mmmmm

My tesco does it. It is with the lamb chops etc, this might sound obvious but some might go looking in amongst all the various beef mince packets, of which there are loads, and might figure all mince is together. I think I only noticed they had pork & lamb mince last year.

Any decent one should, in some other thread 1 or 2 were refused by a butcher.

Depending on the recipe you might be able to just sub in beef mince if lamb proves difficult to find.

Most Tescos do it as does Superquinn. I use it to make lamb koftas and just to warn you it's a little more delicate and softer in texture than other meats like minced beef so treat it a bit easier!

+1.

I've seen it in Aldi and Dunnes Stores. It's on Tesco.ie for €4.29 for 500g.

I prefer the mince from the butchers though, the prepacked mince has a lot of fat/grizzle in it I find.

You lot must be really lucky, it's as rare as hens' teeth in any supermarket I've ever been to. While I have seen it occasionally, I certainly wouldn't rely on it being there if I had cooking plans that required it.
