The difference between lamb and mutton can be a little confusing. In the US, we call meat from young sheep lamb and meat from older sheep mutton. Lamb is more tender and has a milder flavor, and mutton is less tender with a stronger flavor. Lamb is great on the grill or cooked with any fast, high-heat method. Mutton needs to be cooked low and slow. It is usually braised or stewed, and benefits from lots of spices and marinades.

I read that in some parts of the world, mutton includes goat meat, but in the US, it is typically only sheep.
