The neck is one of the most economical yet flavourful parts of the lamb, comprising the scrag end (nearest the head) and the middle neck. Rich in collagen and connective tissue, it becomes tender and gelatinous during long, slow cooking. It is a staple of traditional British stews such as Lancashire hotpot and Irish stew, and is also used in North African tagines and Middle Eastern braises.
