Back when I was first married (40 years ago)
We had very little money.
New family, one small income.
So we used to go to the meat auctions at Berken head point every saturday.
We used to by cheap cuts at 1/2 the price in butcher's.
But our favorite were the lamb shank.
Seen, in them days as off-cut or dog meat, they were as cheap as.
3 for 50 cents.
The missus cooked them up a treat and they were wonderful.
Now these damn things are almost as expensive as any meat.
No more 3 for 50 cents
It's more like $5.00 a shank.
