Mutton

Mutton is the meat of domestic sheep, according to wikipedia. In contrast, lamb refers to the meat from an animal in its first year.

Mutton from older sheep produces a richer flavor but it would take longer time to cook compared to lamb. So if you intend to slow cook some meat of sheep, mutton, but not lamb should be your choice.

In Chinese culture, mutton is believed to boost energy and a person's lust or sexual drive as well.  Men who want to boost their bedroom performance may consider regularly eating mutton.  That is probably one of the reasons that men in Middle East are physically able to handle multiple wives.

Mutton can be good for women too. Those  who suffer lower abdomen pain during menstruation may try mutton in a dose of 50 grams per meal. Women who lack interest in sex might want to  try this wonder meat also.

In addition to mutton, other foods including garlic, vitamin C, salmon fish, beaf and seafoods may help boost men's performance in bed.

The Chinese people say mutton is "hot", meaning that it generates lots of energy and the eater would feel hot after eating some mutton.  That is probably why people say that eating mutton can improve blood circulation, warming inguinal region, improve digestive enzymes, benefit kidneys.

Because it is hot, mutton would be better used in winter.  For the same reason, mutton may not be eaten by those who have fever, tooth pain, throat inflammation (these are "hot conditions"), have liver disorders, high blood pressure and acute enteritis.

One thing that makes many people dislike mutton is its smell.  However, the smell, which results from some acids, can be removed or masked during the cooking by adding some hawthorn, or radish and green bean. Some ginger, scallion, and cumin or curry can also be used particularly when mutton is stir fried, deep fried or roasted.

Rumor has it that mutton cannot be eaten with vinegar.
