Lamb
A lamb is a sheep that is under 1 year old; between 1 and 2 years old you will find it sold as ‘hogget’ – which has a stronger flavour and slightly less tender flesh; anything over 2 years old is called mutton, which has a lot more flavour – but also a tougher flesh that will need slow-cooking to tenderise it.
Being rich in high-quality protein and many vitamins and minerals, lamb can be an excellent component of a healthy diet. The older a lamb, the deeper the colour of the meat, though the time it has been hung for and the breed that it comes from will also make a difference.
