Most people around these parts seem to favor pretty much anything else, including pork. I've been a fan since I had it for the first time over a decade ago at a Greek Restaurant in Gyro form.
It's shocking so many here don't know what mutton is. Part of the problem is supermarket promote lamb as the gold standard and mutton as being low grade. In reality lamb, hogget, and mutton are all good but are better suited to different recipes. Ironically a lot of lamb sold is actually hogget. Another reason mutton isn't as readily available is most of it ends up in restaurants, particularly Asian ones who appreciate it's flavour
thankfully all the indian places I know of are mom and pop run so I'd trust them to be very close to original recipes. I've been dying to try a mutton curry.
I've not seen any South Indian places around here. But if memory serves right they love mixing the yellow curry with thai chiles and that just looks amazing! i love both spices!
I’m proud of Indian food haha. I’m sure Persian food tastes great as well, but I have never tried it and I’ll take a compliment on the amazing Indian cuisine any day XD
It’s definitely spicy though! I’ve heard many Americans and Europeans are not really used to that level of spiciness. So please do ask the chef to lower the spice level accordingly if you’re not used to spicy food!
I'm not Persian but my friend is. No... no it's not good LOL. It's very bland and I'm Italian and I need spice in my life. I would say my cut off is probably around the 450-500K mark for scoville units. I can handle a good bit but not the max.
I spent months living in Athens and I don't think I ever had mutton there except for lamb ribs which I didn't like because they are usually extra overcooked, dry and stringy, which is the way Greeks make a lot of their meat. Ironically, Greeks actually eat very little mutton, the Athenian gyros (actually "souvlaki", for some godforsaken reason) is never made from mutton (it's either pork or chicken).
That being said I do like mutton in general, it just has to be a bit older and stewed for me. It's still relatively common around here in Eastern Europe, but it is going out of fashion here as well.
No tastes strange to me. I even tried it for a special occasion dinner very recently and did not enjoy the taste much. Also, it was very fatty. I actually got sick later from that meal, though I'm not positive it was the lamb. I think I don't do well with rich, fatty, or spicy foods.
Oh that's right I remember we briefly talked about this. Covid and covid vaccines create temporary and permanent taste distortion in the brain. They both infiltrate the brain. But so do some medications. I am not on any meds except about every three days cetirizine, an antihistamine, so for me the culprit is squarely on the vaccines. Got this rotten taste in my mouth about two weeks, roughly, after each of the two shots. I hope to hell it isn't permanent with me like it is with some people. They go through massive weight loss, depression, etc. from it. For some, like me, it's dysgeusia, distortion of taste, but for some it's loss of taste completely. For others it's that certain foods change taste.
Yes I used the love medium some times medium rare. Now I MUST have well done or everything tastes rancid. Also no matter what I can't stand the taste of chicken anymore. Turkey I can still do
Well, being that mutton is lamb that is a bit older, I'm sure I've had it somewhere along the line. I've never seen it labeled as "mutton" though. I've had lamb in Mediterranean restaurants and I would imagine that much of it would be old enough to be considered mutton. I like it but I don't go out of my way for it.
I’ve been a fan event since some Indian family-friends introduced lamb-meat to me in their curry. (Until then, I never knew the word even existed, since generally not common in Filipino or U. S. dishes.) Since then, I enjoy it in Indian & Middle Eastern dishes whenever I can!
Without a doubt, though it depends on which Mutton you are referring to Sheep or Goat, I prefer Sheep Mutton though Goat is not bad. Though it is harder to get a hold of today as everyone and his wife seems to want Lamb because of the celebrity chefs cooking it. I'm lucky I can get Mutton, Hogget or Wether from a local Fell Farm where the sheep hefted to the mountain sides for must of the year, if I cannot get there to pick it up I can have it delivered, it costs me £180-£190 for a full butchered carcase which will last me the best part of 4-5 months.
I like it when its a alive and wandering around, always fun. In the summertime there is always thousands of sheep and lambs in the mountains with sheep herders every time I go up.
I have never found a big slab of meat (not fish) I don't like. Not tiger, not lamb, not bear, not rabbit. I don't understand what people mean when they say it tastes "gamey". WTF are they talking about. It taste like MEAT. MEAT GOOD! ME LIKE MEAT! And I love mutton. That isn't even challenge.
Yes I quite like it, much richer flavour than normal lamb. I've also had goat as that's what they use in a mutton curry especially in Jamaican cuisine, very nice too.
Well there is a difference between lamb and mutton, usually lamb is what’s used in gyros. Lamb over all is better.

It looks good but since you mentioned it was lamb, no. I’m into eating cow meat. I honestly thought those dishes were made from cow meat just by the looks of it.
