You can get fabulous mutton mail order in the UK from Graig Farm Organics (www.graigfarm.co.uk). Actually all the meat I have had from them has been brilliant. Strongly recommended.

Mutton is very popular in Kentucky. Moonlight Barbeque in Owensboro makes fantastic Mutton. It is also widely used in making Burgoo.

Mutton: cooked 'till it don't need cuttin'

[Gifted Gourmet]

bumping up this topic after reading this BBC article on mutton.

A revival of mutton could give a boost to under-pressure sheep farmers and help sustain traditional countryside life, Prince Charles has said.  The alliance is dedicated to helping farmers, butchers, restaurateurs and suppliers benefit from renewed interest in the meat taken from older sheep. The prince said he had "fond childhood memories" of the meat and it was a "tragedy" that it had fallen out of favour over the years. But he said consumers were now developing a taste for it again.

Do you ever buy and eat mutton?

Is it only true in the UK or is it gaining popularity in the States as well?

How do you make the mutton dishes if you purchase this type of meat?

To really taste the great flavor of mutton you need to eat it rare.

Keen’s steakhouse in New York has had mutton chops on the menu for decades.

They might even give you the name of a purveyor for the rest of the flesh.

Is rare mutton not tough??

I got some mutton recently from The Ginger Pig in London and although it looked beautiful, the butchers advice was "don't cook it rare".

I think that in the UK we generally stew or casserole mutton chops...I could be wrong.
