RACK OF LAMB
'The American Frugal Housewife' by Lydia Maria Child (1836) was “Dedicated to Those Who Are Not Ashamed of Economy.”
Remember this excerpt next time you see Rack of Lamb for $10 to $15 per pound:
“That part of mutton called the rack...is cheap food. It is not more that four or five cents a pound; and four pounds will make a dinner for six people...If your family be small, a rack of mutton will make you two dinners....”
