Irish Lamb Stew and Recipes (we carry grass fed
Oregon Lamb for recipes)
“Irish stew, “ballymaloe” as
it is called in Gaelic, is traditionally made of lamb or mutton (less
tender sheep over two years of age), potatoes, onions, and parsley. Often,
lamb or mutton neck bones, shanks, and other trimmings were the only basis for
the stock. Yet, these would-be discards still held enough flavor after a long
simmering process to do justice to a hearty bowl of stew. Modern recipes may
add Guinness stout to the mix for additional taste.” About.com Irish
Stew History) As you may know, we have year round free range lamb
available from Anderson’s ranches, raised locally in Brownsville.

Coming Soon ! Easter – April 5
Easter Ham or Lamb ?
Both of these meats are in demand for Easter and we suggest that you order
early by mid month to secure your preference for quantity and quality. Our hams
and lamb are the best available for free range, hormone free, and delicious in
taste. We actually also sell locally grown eggs in case you want to make us
your one stop Easter shoppe! Here at Long’s we offer our own in house spiral
cut and honey glaze ham on a pre-order basis (we run out of these fast –
pre-order is best to make sure that you have one ready.) We also offer the leg
of lamb, and rack of lamb, and our lamb crown roasts are starting to get
popular.
Ukranian Hand Painted Easter Eggs– A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky)
is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The
word comes from the verb pysaty, “to write”, as the designs
are not painted on, but written with beeswax. The word pysanka refers
specifically to an egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs, and
is not a generic term for any egg decorated using wax resist.
From all of us at Long’s Meat Market,
Have a great March and Spring season !
