I mean goat meat could be considered slightly unconventional to some especially in North America or some parts of Europe but goat meat is pretty commonplace in practically everywhere in the Middle East and Asia. But lamb meat being unconventional? Sheep are more or less practically raised everywhere barring some small island nations where they don't have enough land and raising goats are actually more feasible instead.

Fuck mate it's the first i've heard of someone labelling lamb as unconventional meat.

Anyway OP barring your amusing conceptions aside goat and lamb make excellent curries and stews and are delightful meat to consume and cook with.

In the US, no one eats lamb because it is $30/lb, and it is $30/lb because no one eats it.

This is a longstanding issue stemming from the Sheep and Cattle Wars of the 1800s, when cattle ranchers rounded up all the sheep they could find and executed them because the sheep kept destroying grassfields.

Goat is the most commonly eaten meat world wide second is lamb, the world is more than just the US

I wouldn't say nobody eats it, it's just a bit more costlier like you mentioned and probably considered more of a delicacy in the US but you still have a sizeable domestic production of sheep in several states I believe. Definitely not as much as say places like the UK or New Zealand but you still have a domestic production of it so you're going to have some higher prices for it since production is of lesser quantity. So *somebody* is eating it somewhere in the US but you're probably right in that it's definitely not eaten in a typical household.

Obviously I'm generalizing and not being literal you dink.

I'm quite aware of that anon since i'm not in the US but OP's question could only come from someone who would live in the US and it would make *some* sense from OP's perspective. It's just really odd to think of Lamb as an unconventional meat since it's super widespread available in so many countries. Kangaroo is an unconventional meat outside of Australia, Crocodile could be an unconventional meat, Bear could also be considered an unconventional meat. Sheep and Goat meat aren't what I would generally consider unconventional when it's practically available locally worldwide.

>Obviously I'm generalizing and not being literal you dink.
I couldn't risk it anon, you're in a thread of unconventional meat where the OP posts a picture of a dog saying pic unrelated and thinks Lamb is unconventional meat.

>$30/lb
The fuck? Sam's has leg of lamb for $5/lb and 2 weeks ago I bought 2lbs of lamb chops for $15. I grew up in the midwest in a pretty conventional family and we occasionally had leg of lamb so it's not that uncommon.
