It already is for sale in the UK as far as I know. I've seen it in some up-market supermarkets before I can't think which, maybe Waitrose. I've heard the Harrods butcher shop has it as well.

HA!!!!

Good on you Falkland Islands!!! It is so good to hear that your economy is on the up and up. If they sold Falkalnd Island meat at the big 3 ( Tesco's Sainbury's Asda ) then I would certainly buy some.

Falklanders: Please tell us how your meat is slaughtered. I like lamb but I will NOT buy halal. But please send us everything you can!

@8 I will not consume meat produced according to the diktats of a hate cult. Like argies, all “muslims” should be exterminated.
@9 It's against my preference. I'd rather eat raw argie liver!

Nice islanders, sheep meat is delicious :)
When this is over, and the brits remove their troops, we'll send adobo and farina to go with the meat, mayhap you have some good tips and tricks as to how to prepare the meat for best taste...

Apparently the dimwit doesn't realize that the islanders perfectly know how to prepare excellent dishes without the help of Argentine arses suggesting serving their dishes with farina and adobo. (Another reason to keep them off FI soil.)

John Ferguson, congratulations on your success!
