Q- What is the difference between Lamb And Mutton?
A- There is indeed a difference between lamb and mutton, but it is simply a matter of age and flavor.
- Lamb is a sheep less than a year old, typically slaughtered between
the ages of 4 and 12 months. Older sheep is called mutton and has a
much stronger flavor and tougher meat that many find distasteful.
Mutton was a cheap food source for the military, and it was often
overcooked and dry. Many American servicemen had their fill of mutton,
coming home to declare it off-limits in the family home. This may be
another reason why lamb has not become more popular in the States.
