What age would you estimate the sheep was when slaughtered? Maybe ask your uncle before making more of an ass of yourself.
4 years and 2 months.

Mutton is gorgeous, takes a bit more time than lamb but it’s delicious, the in laws regularly do a bit of mutton when we visit.
A cheap cut for that cunt of a son in law

A bit of stewed mutton is lovely on a winters day. Haven’t had it it yonks. As you said… needs time.
I got a freshly killed lamb dropped off from home today.That’s a good few dinners sorted for massey.

Lovely roast in Mrs O’Sullivans earlier.
Still stuffed.
Just off the phone with my local master craft butcher. He said the animal celebrated its first birthday on February 2, 2017. That would put it at around a year and a half old, and he said that, strictly speaking, it’s a hogget. cc. @Matty_Hislop
Once we finished discussing the age of the animal, we had a bit of small talk. He’s a very interesting character. Turns out he butchered meat for the King of Sweden, Charles XVI Gustavus.

Where do they get mutton?

You’re very tetchy this evening. Are you on the same oestrogen supplements as the Kerry footballers?

I told you it wasn’t a lamb, I was vindicated.
I bet you are feeling rather dim now for giving him the like and gushing over a plate of food that clearly wasn’t lamb.

To be fair, you did. You were also very adamant that it was a 4 year and 2 month old mutton.

You said it was mutton, you absolute clown. Stop digging.
Mutton is a sheep that is at least 2 years old, you were only 3 years off in your estimate. As hogget isn’t in widespread use, lamb is the correct terminology for a sheep less than 2 years old, and certainly one that is just over a year old.
Don’t question the Nogra on culinary related questions, it just leads to embarrassment.

You said it was lamb, it wasn’t. You’ve been caught spoofing again.

I knew it wasn’t lamb, that’s all that matters.
