While a lot of people like chicken, I personally prefer mutton, which we get from the lambs we take care of.

There are many people that prefer mutton over other types of meat, but I can’t imagine killing an animal as cute as a lamb for meat.

Technically mutton can be acquired from a sheep of any age, but it is often used to refer to lambs in particular for some reason.

Why is it that meat from a chicken is just called chicken but meat from a sheep is called mutton?

I’ve never had any mutton before, but according to my friend lamb meat tastes exquisite and is better than anything else.
