[Sca-cooks] Mutton

[Etain1263 at aol.com]

I have a co-worker who raises sheep to breed for lamb.  I told him  that if 
he ever needed to put one of his older sheep down..I'd take  it.   He just 
butchered and packaged a 7 year old ewe..and she is now  in my freezer!  Our 
cook's guild is going to be doing mutton this  month!   
   Do you have any medieval recipes (that can be cooked over an  open fire, 
if possible)?

I  thought I remembered a discussion here recently on mutton and where 
to  find it, but I'm not finding the messages so perhaps it was 
somewhere  else.
Today I stopped at a different halal butcher, after calling to check  
that they did have mutton (sheep not goat? yes. Leg? yes.). After a  
brief conversation it became clear that what they meant by "mutton"  
was lamb. I was told that they could special order meat from an adult  
sheep, it would cost less, but I would have to be ordering a lot of  
it.

Anyone else had better luck finding mutton?
