Same here. I get up at 4:30am each day (working or not) and by 6am, I
like to get out and do something. Only store open then is my grocery
store so I go there at that time several times a week. No crowds.

It's hard to find mutton in stores here too these days. Pretty much
unheard of apart from specialty butchers. I do remember 20 or 30 years
ago it was much more common here. Fortunately I have an endless supply
in my paddocks :)

That's easy enough, thanks. I have some capers in the fridge so will
try this next time lamb is on the menu.

Roger that.

A fantastic book, but a film as good or better.

But alas the moon messages from Cavor were cut off and no one knows what

Oh my, you never heard of them?

I guess their marketing over the pond is rather anemic...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altoids

Altoids are a brand of breath mints. The brand was created by the
London-based Smith & Company in the 1780s, and later became part of the
Callard & Bowser company in the 19th century. Their advertising slogan
is "The Original Celebrated Curiously Strong Mints", referring to the
high concentration of peppermint oil used in the original flavour lozenge.

Altoids are less widely available in Britain—their country of
origin—than in the US to which they are exported. The mints are stocked
in relatively few shops, including Tesco, Morrisons, and Waitrose
supermarket chains. Marks & Spencer produces a near identical product
called "Curiously Strong Mints". Unlike their marketing in the US,
Altoids have never been heavily marketed in the UK.[citation needed]
Callard & Bowser-Suchard once manufactured Altoids at a plant in
Bridgend, Wales, but has since moved Altoids' production to an existing
plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States. This was done to
manufacture the products closer to where they are primarily
marketed.[1][2] They were marketed for a brief period in the 1990s under
the "Nuttall's" brand when Callard and Bowser was under the ownership of
Terry's.

Altoids mints are currently available in four flavours: peppermint,
wintergreen, spearmint, and cinnamon.[3] "Sugar-Free Smalls", tiny
square mints sweetened with sorbitol and sucralose, are also available
in peppermint, wintergreen, and cinnamon. In 2007, dark chocolate-dipped
mints were introduced in three flavours: peppermint, cinnamon and ginger
and in 2008, dark chocolate-dipped mints were introduced in crème de
menthe. The chocolate dipped varieties were discontinued in 2010. Also
historically made but no longer available were ginger, liquorice, cool
honey, and (non-chocolate dipped) creme de menthe varieties. Circa early
2011, Altoids altered the ingredients of their Wintergreen mints, adding
blue food colouring. Altoid mints labeled "sugar-free smalls" do not
contain gelatin, therefore they are suitable for vegans, vegetarians or
those following a halal or kosher diet

That is what I thought. Peter used to mention it. I think 2 tooth was
hogget and 3 tooth was mutton but I may have it wrong. All lamb
critters regardless of age are labeled 'lamb' here in the USA. Hence
you have the confusion. Some are not aware there is a difference. Some
will even insist they have only 'lamb' meaning a baby lamb and complain
that it is gamey.

I have to guess but I suspect the lamb shoulder (bone in but cut to
thin steaks) may be mutton (3 tooth?). I like it expressly for that
flavor.

Sheesh. how can lamb be regarded as gamey? And just to add
complication, the sheep I raise and kill for meat are actually all
wethers <G> (wether = castrated male)

lamb/hogget/mutton, the Wikipedia page on the subject explains the
differences-

Lamb, hogget, and mutton (UK, Pakistan, South Africa, Canada, Nepal,
New Zealand and Australia)[1] are terms for the meat of domestic sheep
(species Ovis aries) at different ages.

A sheep in its first year is called a lamb, and its meat is also
called lamb. The meat of a juvenile sheep older than one year is
hogget; outside North America this is also a term for the living
animal.[2] The meat of an adult sheep is mutton, a term only used for
the meat, not the living animals. The term mutton is sometimes used to
refer to goat meat in the Indian subcontinent.[3][4][5][6]

Lamb is the most expensive of the three types, and in recent decades
sheep meat is increasingly only retailed as "lamb", sometimes
stretching the accepted distinctions given above. The stronger-tasting
mutton is now hard to find in many areas, despite the efforts of the
Mutton Renaissance Campaign in the UK. In Australia, the term prime
lamb is often used to refer to lambs raised for meat.[7] Other
languages, for example French and Italian, make similar, or even more
detailed, distinctions between sheep meat by age and sometimes by
gender, though these languages don't use different words to refer to
the animal and its meat.

The definitions for lamb, hogget and mutton vary considerably between
countries. Younger lambs are smaller and more tender. Mutton is meat
from a sheep over two years old, and has less tender flesh. In
general, the darker the colour, the older the animal. Baby lamb meat
will be pale pink, while regular lamb is pinkish-red.
Commonwealth countries

Lamb — a young sheep under 12 months of age which does not have
any permanent incisor teeth in wear. (Note that the Australian
definition requires 0 permanent incisors, whereas the New Zealand
definition allows 0 incisors 'in wear'.)
Hogget — A term for a sheep of either sex having no more than two
permanent incisors in wear,[8] or its meat. Still common in farming
usage, it is now rare as a domestic or retail term for the meat. Much
of the "lamb" sold in the UK is "hogget" to an Antipodean farmer.
Mutton — a female (ewe) or castrated male (wether) sheep having
more than two permanent incisors in wear.

United States

Under current federal regulations (2014 CFR §65.190),[9] only the term
'lamb' is used:

Lamb — ovine animals of any age, including ewes and rams[10]

The terms 'mutton' and 'hogget' are rare [11] in the United States.
Nevertheless, the exclusive use of 'lamb' in the United States may be
confusing, particularly if it is assumed that only actual lambs are
butchered for their meat. Under the previous definition (2010 CFR
§65.190), 'lamb' meant 'meat, other than mutton (or yearling mutton),
produced from sheep

It probably is if it has a stronger flavour.

West Australian food labeling no longer allows for the hogget
category, not sure if this holds true in other states. Lamb has no
incisor teeth, being less than twelve months old. Anything older is by
default mutton, although when buying it you can tell by size, colour
and internal bone colour whether it is closer to mutton than hogget.

Thanks, the stores/chains I buy meat at must be buying lamb from
Western Australia now because I have certainly noticed the difference
and don't object to Australian lamb anymore. It had a horrible gamey
flavor before that was so off putting I read the labels expressly so I
could avoid it. In fact it was so bad for so long, that I still
experience a certain amount of trepidation when I buy it.

I believe US lamb is grain fed as opposed to grass grazing which
accounts for different flavour.

Good article and thanks!

Yes, from the looks (a strong dark meat) then it's mutton I like and
most often get.

It would not suprise me in the faintest if a USA person literally was
unaware of this. There is a definate marketing though that 'Lamb' is
better than Hogget or Mutton and prices better so it is hidden from the
average consumer.

This has a detrimental effect on sales in the end. See, Mutton and
Hogget are 'cheaper' even here (though some try to use actual baby lamb
prices for it) but the cooking types used are distinctly different from
what I can tell. So, a USA person will try 'lamb' with a true lamb
recipe and it goes all wrong. They assume lamb is bad instead of
knowing the right cookery for the right stages.

I think the best part here for us poor USA folks is the color
differences. Dead on. I know to get the dark red almost brownish
colored meats for the curries I make. If I want a stew, I use the
middle color (often labeled lamb stew). I ignore the pallid tasting
pink stuff as it doesnt suit me. It tastes the same to me as veal
which is cheaper and I'm not a big fan of veal (baby beef) either.

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...g/DSCF3018.jpg

I know the camera isnt the best and this is still defrosting so looks
more white than it is. Mutton I think here. I'm making a curry with
it in a bit.

I'll take more pictures but need to clean the kitchen up. Pretty messy
after a bit of cooking last night (grin).

Hi SF, I think what he is telling you is not that they do not sell it,
they just relabel it Mutton there when it's the inbetween age of hogget.

Look for a light bright red with almost dark pink for Hogget (over age
1, under age 3). Mutton, which we love, has a different taste and that
may be what you object to. Its stronger and more gamey and has to be
flavored right.

There's the next stage of the curry. My camera makes the sauce look
pink but it's a brown sauce with rogan josh seasoning (which is a
little pink itself).

Charlotte BTW is having duck Pho with the venison balls and some
chopped green dried chives. She added miso and some of the mustard she
cut up yesterday.

Again:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altoids

Altoids are less widely available in Britain—their country of
origin—than in the US to which they are exported. The mints are stocked
in relatively few shops, including Tesco, Morrisons, and Waitrose
supermarket chains. Marks & Spencer produces a near identical product
called "Curiously Strong Mints". Unlike their marketing in the US,
Altoids have never been heavily marketed in the UK.

Amen.

American lamb is sweet and fresh - always.

The Auztards produce rancid fare.

I think you will find we import most of the lamb today, much to the
dislike of our few lamb farms who wanted to keep the price artifically
high (and were instumental in our not having a catagory for age of the
'lamb' I suspect).

Due to history and beef cattle winning the battle here, sheep became a
high priced specialty. They were not all all amused when the USA
changed to allow exported lamb to come in at 30% or so the price of USA
grown. OZ folks were not amused either then their prices went up but
overall, their trade balance did well bringing more money to the
country from what I gather. Not sure if that maintained the same good
thing, but it was good to get imported lamb here at last at a price
that could be afforded.

That's fine, but it doesn't alter what I said about grain vs grass
fed.

A polite way of saying very bland tasting.

Cooking differences in the sense that true lamb is more tender.

Just to complicate matters further, here in Aus you will see 'spring
lamb' for sale, the difference being they are younger than 'ordinary
lamb', which can be up to a year old.

Yes, that could happen, based on the situation there.

Me neither. Veal is very overrated IMO.

A bit hard to tell from the pic but I do see a fair amount of
marbling... might be closer to hogget, the meat doesn't look all that
dark?

Looking forward to the pics.

I'm not necessarily being polite, more explaining why :)

He said they aren't selling hogget labeled as lamb anymore, which
means their lamb is really lamb and not a young mutton. That's why I
don't object to their flavor anymore.

No idea how commercial lamb is raised, but my mother's lambs were
pasture raised (grass fed), got alfalfa twice a day and they were
slaughtered under 6 months of age. Her's was top quality and
convinced many that they really did like lamb after all.

It is very sweet. Fortunately, the places I shop at don't sell the
foul tasting stuff anymore. IMO, they had to get their act together
because New Zealand lamb was wiping them off the culinary map in my
stores - but where I shop, NZ lamb is scarce as hen's teeth now.
