Why are Australian Lamb Chops so greasy in comparison to British chops?

Answer 1

Australian lamb chops tend to be greasier than British chops primarily due to the difference in farming practices and the breeds of sheep used. Australia typically raises breeds like the Merino and Dorset, which are often more fatty to adapt to the country's climate and grazing methods. In contrast, British lamb is often sourced from breeds raised for leaner meat, reflecting the local culinary preferences and agricultural practices. Additionally, the feeding regimes and pasture types in Australia can contribute to higher fat content in the meat.
