Nice spanish Disneychilly!

Translate to who don't understand spanish:
"I think he ate too Argentina's beef. Which chubby"

Does look as if he's sampled a few Argentinian steaks disney.

I always laugh at how a good many people who own sports tops of their favourite teams invariably have the most unathletic bodies.

We have steak too.

But you're a Bok prop mate. You have to be big and intimidating.

For us he looks better than Brad Pitt!

The Argies can have their steak Biltong. You guys take care of the borewors and we'll sort the lamb.

The Aussies can make the salads inside.

I thought it was that he'd been dining out on Auckland Lam :-)

Just don't let the Aussies make the Pav's - they only stole part of the recipe from us and don't know how to make one properly.

You cannot beat Welsh lamb, on its day it's the nicest tasting lamb in the world.

I would advise you both to come try some Karoo lamb.

And meanwhile the cheaper, more efficient NZ version keeps on delivering day in day out

Ha I think I saw that on the packaging in Sainsbury's!

Yeah but Welsh lamb has all that extra 'protein'...

WHY is it that NZ lamb is so cheap, its 6000miles from bloody anywhere

Because they sleep outside in winter?

They're hard these sheep. Comes from said sleeping outside in winter and running away from farmers wearing velcro gloves.

Refridgerated shipping is a pretty cheap mode of transport. And NZ's sheep and meat industries are very efficient. Also the carbon footprint of NZ lamb sold in Britain is virtually identical to that of British lamb because of NZ's (mainly) hydro generated electricity and the sheep living outdoors year round.

What cheeses me off is that Britain gets the best cuts too. You won't get quality lamb cuts in NZ in a supermarket that's for sure-and you won't get a good fresh cut unless you pay top dollar at a good restaurant.

Don't get me started on the price of dairy.

Or if you grew up on a sheep farm Disney

Though actually we generally ate mutton - rather elderly mutton at that. Not as tender, but loads more flavour. And Dad wouldn't slaughter a sheep until the previous one was eaten, so you got plenty of exposure to different cuts. Mum didn't enjoy cooking chops in those days, so we invariably got to a point where there was nothing but chops left and had them for dinner every day for a week.

Nothing wrong with a hunk of mutton cooked low and slow.

Just got to use the right mix of herbs and spices.
Use a pressure cooker and the meat just falls off the bone.

Excuse me, its us Welsh who get told we love our sheep, you are just hanging on to our coat tails, here in Wales we have the finest lookining...er I mean tasting sheep because they eat the best grass all year round, only one thing wrong with our grass, it's a bugger to get the green stains out of your trousers when yo are frolicing...

I love the comeback NZers give to Aussies for calling us sheep shaggers (which is kind of the pot calling the kettle black as a they have more sheep and b they're the ones with the criminal records-ever think sheep shagging could be a reason they were sent over?) We say yeah we shag them, then kill them and cut them into pieces, before sending them to Aussie where you lot eat them.

I'm amazed how this thread stopped being a rugby theme to become a matter of international food and livestock

Fair point mate.

Partly my fault

Hey, I love sheep!! But not in that way of course, like Lordy

Ever thought why sheep are herded to the edge of the cliffs?

That's why there aren't any Moa left - they were bright enough to jump off the cliffs

They push back harder.

Billy would love this one.

You know what, it's the Australian outback sheep farmers I feel sorry for, not a cliff for miles.

It's those hidden gullies they need to look out for.

Unless they're in Lightning Ridge but that's cattle country and another story in itself.

nothing wrong with a semi dry river bed with a semi comatose crocodile.

and I've got the scars to prove what fun that was...

Back to that first photo... I thought the old ball up the jumper trick had been outlawed?

They are both of his own-see how excited a Kiwi gets when sheep are mentioned?
