Chump

Lamb chump is the rump end between loin and leg—meaty, versatile, sold as chump chops or a small roast. It sits at a crossroads of muscles: more flavour than pure loin, more tenderness than shank when not overcooked. Grill chump chops over medium heat; roast whole chump tied for even shape. Cubes suit kebabs. Trim excess surface fat if strong-tasting. A practical midweek cut that still feels special with rosemary and garlic.

Chump of Lamb: composition reflects this culinary part relative to the whole ingredient.

History

British butchers maintained “chump” as a named cut when other markets said rump.

Family roasts used chump when a whole leg was more meat than needed.

Weeknight grill recipes adopted chump chops as a meaty alternative to loin.
