Decent cheap chops...
...chips go well with 'em.
Great if you slow cook and then separate the meat
My 5 stars are for the idea shown here – NOT as chops! If you want actual chops, please note that these are very inconsistently sized and I wouldn't recommend them for anything EXCEPT slow cooking. Thawed and then left in a slow cooker overnight with some water (+ maybe bay leaf, seasoning, lamb stock cube, but I don't always bother with that) ... and yes, it's then a messy job to separate the meat from the fat and bones, but worth it ... you get a good 1/2 lb (200 g) of lean meat and a really nice meaty stock. Pour the juices off into a jug or pot (you don't need a fat separator) and if you let it cool and put it in the fridge, the fat hardens at the top and can be easily removed (nice treat for the birds!) by the evening. I mix the meat with various chopped veg (e.g. onion, parsnip, leek, courgette), a Knorr Spring Vegetable dry soup and the stock and cook on the stove top in a deep saucepan until the hardest veg are cooked. It makes at least 2 good portions, but bulked up with veg, it's easily 3 portions. It's not a quick meal, but for lamb, I think three portions is value for the price. I used to use neck of lamb for the same idea, but the meat is easier to separate from these chops (once slow cooked).

These are very handy to cook when defrosted, but the last bag I received was nearly all bone and fat. I was disgusted with the quality.

Complete waste of money
I was looking forward to lamb chops for Sunday lunch, however, this pack has to contain the most disgusting lamb I have ever bought. How Tesco has the effrontery to describe these bits of gristle and loose bone fragments "chops" defeats me. They look like leftover rubbish. To even call them scrag ends would be generous. Bone left in for flavour? One so called "chop" was a complete piece of spinal bone with no meat on it whatsoever. I will not even try and feed it to my dog. Baked beans on toast will be a welcome alternative.
Very dissatisfied, won't buy again.

Inedible
These are mostly bone and inedible
Mostly bone but tasty.
I really enjoyed mine and they were so tasty! And I do not like tough meat. I just bunged them in my super new casserole dish straight from the freezer (when I was not feeling very well, actually and was not too capable of cooking). However, they are mostly bone and in fact one was complete bone (one should have a refund for that!), so always cook extra. You can't tell before cooking as the bone looks like meat. Would not really feed a family, thus.
Very disappointing
Ordered these as they were a good price. They were tough which I guess may have been my cooking but they were also full of bone and very fatty. I realise lamb chops always have a lot of bone but these chops had more bone than meat. My husband wouldn't even eat them. He said it reminded him of when he was a kid and you kept chewing and couldn't get it down. We had one each and given the rest to the dog (who is very happy) so not good value at all.
Not very big would like better and bigger chops. O
