What is the best place to get ground lamb?
Have you tried the halal butcher near Guting station?
They have all sorts of lamb and should be able to do whatever you want, as long as you speak Chineseā¦

No, do you have an address or a phone number?
Wellmanās carries ground lamb, frozen, in convenient burrito-shaped rolls at a reasonable price.
Hmm, just called them, they say they donāt carry ground lamb.
Was it a long time ago you saw it or very recently.
Do you know the place thelostsweede is talking about?

Maybe it said mutton instead of lamb, but Iām pretty sure I saw it, both a year ago (I even bought some!) and about 6-7 weeks ago. I bet theyāre just out right now. I donāt know about the halal butcher, no.
OK, I will go there and check it out then. Thanks!
See this thread Halal meat in Taiwan
Itās this shop maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ā¦ 3,1,-3.85
Thanks mate!
Just went to Mayfull in Neihu. They wouldnāt sell me 1/2 Kg of ground lamb, only 3KG. So I took that. 3Kg for 600NT$ I can live with that!!! 
You sure that itās lamb and not mutton or something else? That sounds way too cheapā¦
Well, I said lamb and she said yes, I didnāt double check with her to make sure she wouldnāt give me mutton.
Iāll let you know when I taste it.
I tried to search minced lamb but nothing came up. I am sure Tienmu, will have sth to offer, but can I find any downtown or in Neihu (more accessible for me)??. I have a āKeemaā craving now.
Thanks

Often when no matching results come up, itās because you used the default āsearch for all termsā. For instance, the actual threads may say ground lamb and not minced. So itās better to run the search a couple different ways ā try āSearch for any termsā, or try ālambā only (to avoid all the ground beef hits), for instance, choose only the Food forum (not WCIF), and this is what you get:

The post there on Mayfull sounds like a good source for you, as it is in Neihu:
I bet you wonāt find any.
BUT, Costco has this weird cut of boneless lamb that they sell, itās sort of like a boneless cross cut of an upper shank.
Itās actually brilliant, I like to barbecue them, although that ends up being way too much lamb-ness for my local wife and half-local kid.
Itās really nicely marbled and all, I bet theyād throw it in the grinder for you.
'cos otherwise all youāre likely to find are overpriced frozen little lady-finger chops from NZ.
And then tell me what street corner I need to go to to pick up my Keemasā¦ :lick:
Was it good???
Actually, it was. Mind you I did a Serbian recipe which calls for different ground meat together, veal/lamb/pork. So I didnāt tasted just the lamb. But my recipe, Cevapcici, was great. 
sorry DB. The mayfull place sounds neat. Will give it a try.
Chief, I can post a simple and easy recipe.
If 3 kg is too much for your freezer, just ring me next time and Iāll take 1 to 1.5 kg off your hands. 
Damn it, I remember it used to be really easy to buy this in Tesco, before the feckinā Frenchies took over (to use a chief-ism).
