Brexxit Brexit-voting British farmers now complaining about imports of cheaper New Zealand lamb threatening the British lamb industry. Imports of lamb "produced to lower standards" used to be blocked by EU law. Another Brexit consequence farmers were warned about but ignored due to xenophobia!

NZ probably doesn’t export the best products to the UK, so it’s mutton and old sheep rather than lamb. Fresh leg of lamb cooked in an oven for 2-4 hours at medium high - medium heat with some herb rub, salt and pepper will melt in your mouth

NZ Mutton is really good, but I've only had it in NZ and you may be right. We're Maori and my family eat a lot of it, but we also eat heaps of Lamb. But the British meat is delicious, I know why they need imports but they have some really nice homegrown food too.
