Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy some lamb and maybe even some grass-fed beef in Seoul.

Thanks.

I've seen lamb at the foreign food supermarket in Itaewon. Also a lamb restaurant in Nonhyeon, I think.

Does it need to be specifically grassfed? Cos otherwise I think you're screwed. I lived in a town 'famous' for its beef yet the only time I saw cows were the sad looking shadows in tiny outdoor stalls that the bus went past. I'd personally go for overseas stuff if you can - and that can be found in some restaurants. Others who are more in the know can direct you to these.

Isn't that Hoju Australian beef grass fed? They still raise beef using land and cowboys instead of machines, small concrete spaces, and artificial junk food. The quality is far tastier and leaner. I too prefer grass fed. It's makes all the difference with the quality.

All australian and NZ beef is grass fed. The NZ stuff is even antibiotic free (probably the australian stuff as well). The australian stuf is known as hoju so gogi or hoju beefeu, while the NZ stuff is new jelandeu so gogi/beefeu.

Go to emart, homeplus or a butchers.

Lamb can't help you with

all korean animals are raised in metal sheds as far as I know. Ive been all over the country and never once seen a cow in a field nor a sheep.

I dont think organic is big to koreans considering they keep dogs in cages in all weathers without letting them go for walks.

And regarding the post title, i didnt know you could feed a cow lamb?

There's nothing so wrong about raising cows in metal sheds. A few cows with a metal shed that has room to move around and in which their manure isn't allowed to pile up are better off than any conventionally raised cow in the US.

Read Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. It gets much worse than a metal shed.
