SC - Re: Problems of Thought

[Tyrca]

Another issue with lamb...  I have a friend who once explained to me the
butcher's definition of "lamb" vs. "mutton" (over 15 or 18 months old,
or something like that) by the age of the animal...  What often gets
sold as lamb is only a few days from its "mutton" "birthday" (because,
of course, that's a larger animal)...  If you can cultivate a butcher or
grower who will sell you smaller animals at younger ages (like 8-12
months), it's a whole other ball game as far as tenderness and taste.
The lamb chops I ate at her house (only time) certainly didn't "taste
like wool".

| Lamb done badly is horrible, lamb done well is the best thing in the
