In the US it's pretty hard to find mutton, I don't think I've ever seen it served at a restaurant or grocery store. But then again, I think everyone agrees that lamb tastes way better than mutton.

- prpl 6y agoI grew up near the Navajo reservation and it was easy to find mutton there, probably one of the few places that is true. Mutton stew is the common dish, but I have had mutton navajo tacos and other things once upon a time, but I can’t particularly remember the taste.
- UnpossibleJim 6y agoA lot of mutton tends to go in the stew pot or the grind with spice, except for a few cuts. There are chops (which I like), and the rib eye (the rack, as it were). Typically, what you would think of as the premium cuts on a beef steer are kept on mutton, and the rest is cut for the grind or stew cuts, as far as I know. I like mutton, but I also like goat. I don't mind gamier meat flavors, though and was raised hunting so there's that.
- prpl 6y agoYeah I don’t mind gamy meats, I have had kudu, gemsbok, springbok, javalina, elk, ostrich, venison (many times) etc... The mutton near the reservation often lived fairly long lives, so I wouldn’t terribly be surprised if stew was common for even the desirable cuts.
