With all this talk of lamb being expensive, I just did a quick survey at my local Marks & Spencer - probably one of the most expensive places too buy food in the UK, but popular and of a generally good quality.

These are all per kilo and rounded to the nearest pound:

Pork (loin chops): £10
Chicken (breast fillets): £8
Beef thinly-sliced frying steak): £11
Beef (Aberdeen Angus sirloin steak): £20
Beef Mince: £6
Gammon joint: £10
Lamb (chops): £12

I'd be interested to see comparative costs from elsewhere...
