Who eats Sheep? For a debate.?

Question

Not lambs, fullgrown sheep. Is it common?

Answer 1

Is it Lamb or mutton?

Lamb is a sheep less than a year old, typically slaughtered between the ages of four and twelve months. Older sheep is called mutton and has a much stronger flavor and tougher meat that many find distasteful. Mutton was a cheap food source for the military, and it was often overcooked and dry. Many American servicemen had their fill of mutton, coming home to declare it off-limits in the family home. This may be another reason why lamb hasn't become more popular in the States.

The finest lamb

Lamb connoisseurs consider lamb pré-salé to be the finest in the world. The French term means "salty field," and is applied to lamb that graze on meadowlands on the salty shores of Brittany and Normandy. The grass that thrives on the salty land gives the lamb meat a delicate flavor. The most reknowned area for this lamb is near Mont-St.-Michel in France. You might want to question the chef if you find pré-salé lamb on the menu in the United States, as there is a good chance it is not authentic.

Answer 2

If you want to try it, it's not called 'sheep' but 'mutton.' I love mutton, and if you live in the US, what is called lamb but was raised here is far closer to being mutton than the lamb (which are younger than four months old) sent here from New Zealand. I happen to love a 'full grown sheep' though ... but that mutton has such a strong taste and is rather 'tough' and must be properly cooked (low temperature over several hours) to get the full flavor, so most real mutton in the US is found only in dog and cat food.

Answer 3

Not many North Americans do eat full grown sheep- but eating lamb (baby sheep) is fairly commom in N.A...



Unless you're like a sheep farmer and you're hard up for food, then you might eat one of your full grown sheep. :P.



I know that lesser developed countries around the world do raise and eat sheep on a regular basis though, among other animals like goat and alpaca.



To be quite honest, i'm not sure why we don't just eat full grown sheep though, we eat baby cattle, and full grown cattle, so why not the same with sheep?

Maybe lamb meat is more tender or fatty?

I don't know...



Personally, I don't really like the taste of lamb, and I really don't believe in killing and eating baby animals...(don't worry, i'm not going to start preaching)...

I think lamb tastes like fish in a way?



Anyway, yeah....I don't know why I even answered this question, must be boring for you to read- I just keep rambling on.

Answer 4

Adult sheep or rams r commonly eaten in third world countries. Adult goats r more commonly eaten there b/c they produce more milk. Rams r stinky and their meat is called mutton. I've never eaten sheep or lamb, but would like to try lamb.
