Yup. Lovely it was, too. Especially when served in the Jamaican style with a thick, spicy gravy.

Answer 8

Here we go.....the reason there is no mutton for sale in shops is because Asian communities have cornered the market......

Answer 9

yep tastes nice but disgusting when raw

YUCK!!!

Answer 10

Yes. Very nice, tender if well cooked.  I saw one of Gordon Ramseys shows think last year some time and he went to a farm and the farmer cooked Mutton Curry.  Gordon loved it.  Go to a good halal butcher, wash meat, season and put in pressure cooker for about an hour or in the oven or in a covered pot for about 2 hours.  Tender, oh my, my mouths watering now.

Answer 11

Mutton is from a sheep 2 years old or more and has a stronger taste

In this country we prefer it young

Just as they are starting to enjoy life, frolicing in the meadow we chop them up and eat them.

My wife says that lamb is deer, but thats venison isn't it

Answer 12

Yummy with a lovely mint sauce

Answer 13

very nice

Answer 14

Nope.

Answer 15

it's the scrag end of lamb

Answer 16

Jamaican dishes use goat/mutton (curried and spiced) - was fed it continuously from age 7 until 20 by mummy.

Nice one, Bouncing.

Answer 17

"WHAT IS MUTTON ?

Over the past 40 years, mutton has virtually disappeared from our shops and menus. Yet, for many hundreds of years mutton was the only form of sheep meat eaten in these islands - lamb being considered too immature. There is no strict definition of mutton - at one time it was simply any sheep meat sold after Christmas, but generally it refers to older sheep meat. At Graig Farm we define it as any animal over 2 years old. There were grades of excellence of mutton, from the rather inferior and fatty lowland English breeds, which also tended to be relatively tasteless (although the exception to this was the Southdown); through the famous Salt Marsh mutton, which grazed the salt grasses of the South Eastern coast of England, with its characteristic flavour; to the incomparable Welsh Mountain mutton."

I have enjoyed mutton at my favorite Sri Lankan restaurant in Toronto, Rashnaa.

Answer 18
