What does MUTTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
The meat of a mature sheep, generally stronger in flavor and tougher than lamb.
Mutton comes from an adult sheep rather than a young one, giving it a deeper flavor and firmer texture than the milder meat called lamb. Cooks traditionally handled mutton with long, slow cooking methods such as stewing or braising to soften its tougher fibers, producing dishes still found in British and South Asian cuisine. Demand for mutton fell sharply through the twentieth century as lamb became the more popular and widely available choice in many countries. Older or informal English also once used mutton, somewhat unkindly, as a slang term for a woman regarded as past her youth.
