Top marks in the bravery stakes for asking. Lamb is regarded as quite a high-end meat in France and would therefore never suffer the indignity of being minced.
I asked the butcher in Montmorillon for minced lamb a couple of years back and was shown the door. After he and his mates had had a good laugh about the mad Anglais.
Having said that, this is the same bloke I ordered a ham from once upon a time. A couple of weeks later he presented me with a round cut through the leg, no bone, no fat and no skin.
He wasn't amused by my response.
I fear if you want minced lamb you'll have to do it yourself......but you'll need a good food processor and plenty of patience to clean all the fat out of it later.
Bonne chance.
PS: if you ever see minced beef listed as Boeuf Bolognaise in the supermarket, don't buy it. Make your own. It is plain, uninspiring and unacceptable.
