Goat vs Lamb vs Mutton: Taste, Nutrition & Cooking Differences Explained

Goat vs Lamb vs Mutton: Taste, Nutrition & Cooking Differences Explained

Goat and lamb come from different animals, goat meat comes from goats, while lamb and mutton both come from sheep, with lamb from animals under one year old and mutton from sheep over two years old. Goat is the leanest and gamiest of the three, lamb is the mildest and fattiest, and mutton is the toughest and most intensely flavoured. In South Asian, Caribbean, and some African culinary traditions, "mutton" is often used to mean goat meat rather than aged sheep, a naming difference worth knowing before you shop.
