I know it sounds silly but do you eat lamb on the picnic?
ReplyDeleteJohn - last year we had lamb summer sausage and the year before was at another farm and we took lamb barbeque sandwiches...
ReplyDeleteNot sure what we might do this year... The lamb market is way up so it could get expensive to serve it to the masses. ; )
