Lamb, after the age of six months, is called mutton. The meat of the lamb before two months has little flavor, is sticky, white and soft. After that time it is delicious, especially if the animal has been fed upon milk, the meat being tender and very nourishing for children, convalescents and old feeble people. Roasted or broiled are the most natural preparations. The preparation of mutton is the same as for lamb, and it is eaten rare, but lamb is eaten well cooked. Following are 200 recipes for lamb and mutton. NOTE — For all preparations, see “Filet” and “Mignon” in pages concerning Beef. Nearly all of the garnishings — 212 — LAMB are the same, so it is not necessary to repeat them. These garnishings can be served with crustades and tartelettes; the large garnishings can be used for the saddle, racks and legs. The garnishings of potatoes is the same.
