Ewe Should Eat this Lamb Sandwich ASAP
Border Springs Farm opened their lamb only stand a few weeks ago in the center of Reading Terminal. Their unnamed sandwich has gotten some recent attention (they can’t call it a gyro because of the limit on gyro stands in RT).
I wasn’t all revved up at the idea of an undercover gyro, instead I picked something else off the sandwich menu and it ended up being one of the best sandwiches I have had recently.
Although I am not a breakfast person, I was tempted by the lamb sausage,gravy, and biscuit from the breakfast menu, but ultimately chose the pulled lamb shoulder sandwich.
This sandwich comes with a spicy piri piri (hot pepper) sauce and crushed potato chips on a soft, toasted brioche. The lamb was moist, but with no extra fatty pieces. It wasn’t gamy; it tasted like this little lamb was killed at just the right age. And the copious amounts of crispy bits made me a bah-liever.
At $9.50 it is certainly far from the sheepest sandwich in Reading Terminal, but since it is one of the best, I won’t complain. Quite the opposite. Your next meal at Reading should be this sandwich.

I saw two kids sharing one the other day, and one yelled “don’t hogget!” before trying to pluck it away.
(That reminds me, I’ve always wanted to try haggis…)

@Fred: I prefer the Animaniacs version:
Mary had a little lamb
With mint jelly. -
I was going to say something about the great lamb-pooning going on here, but realized that sounded gross.
Speaking of which, how do you know Mick Jagger isn’t Scottish? Jagger shouts out “hey, you, get off of my cloud!” while a Scotsman yells “hey, McCloud, get off of my ewe!” I told that dumb joke at a job interview once.
Mutton would stop me from ramming that into my belly. Appreciate the ovine comedy.
