Quick meat quiz

Do you know the difference between lamb, mutton, and hogget? If so, can you get the latter two labeled as such?

I'm not confident: lamb is young sheep meat*, mutton is older sheep meat, and I don't think I've seen the word 'hogget' in my life.

* and, of course, a young sheep in general.

My understanding is lamb is under a year old. I've honestly never heard of hogget, and I don't think I've ever actually had mutton.

from memory

isn't a hogget a sheep over 1 year?

mutton is the name of meat from sheep older than hogget

Aren't there legal restrictions on naming meat?

I've never seen anyone sell something called mutton or hogget but have been led to believe much lamb isn't

This is my understanding too.

Shit, chwwy shit, chewy smelly shit
