This is a list of the popular lamb and mutton dishes and foods worldwide.
Lamb and mutton are terms for the meat of domestic sheep (species Ovis aries) at different ages.
The meat of a juvenile sheep older than one year is hogget; outside North America this is also a term for the living animal.
Lamb and mutton are very popular in Central Asia and in India, where other red meats may be eschewed for religious or economic reasons.
Barbecued mutton is also a specialty in some areas of the United States (chiefly Owensboro, Kentucky) and Canada.
