mutton

That would be domsticated sheep meat

You've probably already been informed but Mutton is when they use an older sheep for it's meat rather than a younger one. You'd actually be surprised at home often you're actually eating mutton as apposed to lamb - butchers are good at disguising these things! There's also the saying 'Mutton dressed up as Lamb' - LOL - which is the term used when someone (a woman) is dressing to look much younger than she actually is & usually you can tell so it just doesn't look right!

Mutton is the meat from mature sheep, as opposed to lamb which is immature sheep.

Hi there, Yea I'll tell you, mutton is nothing more then a woolly sheep, when butchered up you can get roasts galore out of it, spare ribs and just meat all around... Mutton is Lamb or sheep either/ither its the same diff, ones just younger then the other

Mutton is a meat from sheep which less tender then lamb .I don't really like mutton or lamb but i will eat them if some one really know how to cook it right.

I can. It's older more mature sheep.

mutton is meet of cow or bull or buf\ellow

Young sheep.

Here in Canada, and I believe the U.S. and all the British colonies, mutton is meat derived from a sheep that is 1 yr of age or older. It is often a strong tasting meat, some even call it sour tasting. My husband says it tastes like rotten pork. The practise of using mint sauce with it, I beleive, was to cover the awful taste. Lamb, however is a young, baby sheep and is much milder tasting and tender than mutton. If they are grain-fed, not pastured, the flavour is very mild, without the strong, grass-fed taste.
