Popa I fear you made an uncharacteristic error. The lamb at Pesach had to be ‘ben shana’ which means up to a year old (Rashi). Have you ever seen a lamb of that age? They are skinny little things. There was not much chance of having left over. To the contrary, many families did not have enough. There would certainly not have been much chance of having lamb chops left overs for a long period of time!
