They're getting harder to find here too.  On the other hand, goat meat has

We have an entire Kosher supermarket - closed on the Sabbath and the whole 
nine yards.  Useful place.

Lamb I can find, but affordable lamb is a rarity.  It does turn up once in a 
while.

runs

in 
an

-> According to Faith just because they cling to their Luddite ways does
not

gentile.

-
I could have told you that.  They may be Plain People, but chances are 
they've found a way to steam power the noodle machinery.  Or they get one
of 
us English to run the electric version.
