What Part Of The Animal

[ncarter]

Im not really good with anantomy so can someone tell me what part of the animal do lamb flaps and brisket bones come from?

also wondering are ribs bones hard to get or should most butchers have them?

Pretty sure they are both from the leg.

And you should be able to get rib bones everywhere.

I might be corrected but I am sure all, well nearly all, butchers get the whole carcuss of the animals delivered to them and they cut them up into the different portions of meat.

Brisket is the part of the animal above the forearm, but on the chest sort of LOL And I thought the lamb flaps were the ribs

Yes the the flap covers part of the ribs and the flank.

The brisket is usually referred to as the fore chest.

Thanks, thats what I was trying to say

Yes there is a bit of bone, and I really like the bones on the flaps because they can actually be crunched up and eaten
