Brit here. My father used to deplore the absence of mutton from butchers, and its replacement with lamb. He used to eat mutton as a child. For myself, I don't believe I've ever eaten mutton. My father was born in 1914, and died 5 years ago. For me to have never eaten it, it must have disappeared from the UK at least 50 years ago. It's not just Americans that don't eat mutton.
