        <content>The major grocery stores generally don't have much and it is usually overpriced.  Sam's has a small selection, but no stew meat.  I'm sure some of the halal markets are probably a good bet, but I'm not familiar with any of them.  What is your favorite place to buy lamb in Houston?</content>

      <content>Perhaps Phoenecia Market on Westheimer? 

I always enjoyed the small cafeteria at Jerusalem Halal on Hillcroft, but that was for prepared food. I do know they have a good meat selection. Perhaps give it a try and let us know?</content>

      <content>Both Phoenicia and Jerusalem Halal have lamb.  Every Halal market I've been into has it.

Select your part of town then Markets.

You also might try B&amp;W on N. Shepherd outside the Loop and Pete's Fine Meats on Richmond in the Galleria area.  Either one of those would be good if they have it.</content>

      <content>Pete's Fine Meats does have it.  If you want something besides the popular cuts - lamb chops, leg of lamb, lamb shank, etc. - just call them a day ahead and ask them to cut you up some stew meat.  They're happy to do it.
