mutton is like the adult thing while lamb is like the baby...

i think mutton is an older sheep and the meat is a little bit tougher, whereas lamb is only young and tender

Same as the difference between beef & veal ~ the age of the source.

Lamb is under a year old.
Mutton is older 1-2 years. More taste.
Hogget 2+ years. More taste.

The older meat requires longer slower cooling

muton is any lamb older then 12 months and the meat is tuffer

Mutton is made from an older lamb, I think

not really

Firstly I am vegetarian.

Difference is that lamb is premature stage of mutton.

Like child and adult in humanbeing.
