Lamb meat
Lamb meat is meat from a young sheep without a specified cut, sold whole, in pieces or minced for roasting, grilling or braising.
About Lamb meat
Lamb meat is meat from a young sheep, but the name alone does not identify a particular cut. Muscle, fat and connective tissue proportions differ between shoulder, loin, leg and other portions, producing varied textures and levels of richness.
It is sold as whole cuts, pieces or minced meat and is roasted, grilled, braised or cooked by other methods. Its flavour is characteristic of lamb, while tenderness depends on cut and cooking. Because the record does not specify a cut or preparation, it represents a broad category.
