A logit model was developed to investigate the decision to eat lamb away from home in the United States. Using data from the United States Department of Agriculture's 1987-88 National Food Consumption Survey, this study identified several socio-demographic and economic characteristics of consumers who have eaten lamb away from home. The information derived from this study is useful for lamb processors and producers in Australia and New Zealand who wish to anticipate future market changes and derived demands for their products in the United States.
