Home›Dishes›Main Ingredient›LambIngredientLambMeat and Poultry ProductsReference and ClassificationVerifiedLamb and mutton, collectively called sheep meat, is meat from the domestic sheep, generally divided into three types: lamb, from sheep in their first year, hogget, from sheep in their second, and mutton, from older sheep, a name derived from the French word for sheep. Lamb is the most expensive of the three and in recent decades has increasingly been the only type retailed under any name, sometimes stretching the traditional distinctions, while the stronger-tasting mutton has become hard to find in many areas despite efforts such as the Mutton Renaissance Campaign in the United Kingdom; in Australia, the term prime lamb is often used for lambs raised specifically for meat.FactsLambConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsEarliest Documented Use, From (Year)Well-attestedSourced to the subject's own account-11,000 to 9000 BCE 1Origin RegionWell-attestedSourced to the subject's own accountMesopotamia 1LambFilter Results21 entriesDish FamilyAllEast Asian Soups (1)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)European Soups (1)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Filled Pasta and Ravioli Variants (1)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Noodles and Dumplings (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (5)Middle Eastern and North African Soups (1)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (3)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (2)South Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)CuisineAllAlgerian Cuisine (1)British Cuisine (1)Chinese Cuisine (1)Greek Cuisine (1)Italian Cuisine (1)Kashmiri Cuisine (1)Middle Eastern Cuisine (2)Moroccan Cuisine (2)North African Cuisine (1)Norwegian Cuisine (1)Pakistani Cuisine (1)Persian Cuisine (3)Peruvian Cuisine (1)Turkish Cuisine (6)Era (Origin Period)All1330 (1)1400 (1)1789 (1)1791 (1)1832 (2)TraditionAllChristmas Feast Traditions (1)Easter Food Traditions (1)Lenten Fasting Foods (1)Passover and Jewish Holiday Foods (2)Ramadan and Eid Feasting Traditions (1)Street Food Culture (1)Wedding Feast Traditions (1)Format/TypeAllEast Asian Soups (1)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)European Soups (1)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Filled Pasta and Ravioli Variants (1)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Noodles and Dumplings (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (5)Middle Eastern and North African Soups (1)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (3)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (2)South Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)CourseAllMain Course (3)Soup (4)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Meat or Poultry (10)Origin RegionAllAlgeria (1)Asia (1)Central Asia (1)China (1)Egypt (2)Greece (1)Iran (3)Iraq (1)Italy (1)Kashmir (1)Morocco (1)Norway (1)Pakistan (1)Peru (1)Punjab (1)The Maghreb (1)Tunisia (1)Turkey (2)United Kingdom (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 21Aab GoshLambAbgooshtLambArnavut ciğeriLambChelo KababLambChorba FrikLambGondiLambHünkârbeğendiLambKoftaLambKofteLambMagiritsaLambMantiLambMéchouiLambPachamancaLambPaomoLambPinnekjøttLambQuziLambSajjiLambShepherd's PieLambShish koftaLambStigghiolaLambTagineLambConnectionsUsed ByAab Gosh, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikipedia: Aab goshAbgoosht, Dishes Well-attested Source Abgoosht (Wikipedia)tier 3Algerian Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Algerian Cuisine (Wikipedia)tier 2Armenian Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Larousse Gastronomiquetier 1Arnavut ciğeri, Dishes Well-attested Source Arnavut cigeri (Wikipedia)Basque Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Basque Cuisine (Wikipedia)Bulgarian Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Bulgarian Cuisine (Wikipedia)Chelo Kabab, Dishes Well-attested Chorba Frik, Dishes Well-attested Gondi, Dishes Well-attested Source Gondi (food) (Wikipedia)Hünkârbeğendi, Dishes Well-attested Source Hunkarbegendi (Wikipedia)Icelandic Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Icelandic Cuisine (Wikipedia)Kashmiri Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Kashmiri Cuisine (Wikipedia)Kofta, Dishes Well-attested Source Kofta (Wikipedia)Kofte, Dishes Well-attested Lebanese Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Lebanese Cuisine (Wikipedia)tier 3Magiritsa, Dishes Well-attested Source Magiritsa (Wikipedia)Manti, Dishes Well-attested Méchoui, Dishes Well-attested Source Méchoui (Wikipedia)New Zealand Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source New Zealand Cuisine (Wikipedia)Norwegian Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Norwegian Cuisine (Wikipedia)Pachamanca, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikipedia: PachamancaPaomo, Dishes Well-attested Source Paomo (Wikipedia)Pinnekjøtt, Dishes Well-attested Source Pinnekjøtt (Wikipedia)Quzi, Dishes Well-attested Source Quzi (Wikipedia)Sajji, Dishes Well-attested Source Sajji, WikipediaShepherd's Pie, Dishes Well-attested Shish kofta, Dishes Well-attested Source Shish kofta (Wikipedia)Stigghiola, Dishes Well-attested Source Stigghiola (Wikipedia)Swedish Cuisine, Cuisines Well-attested Source Swedish Cuisine (Wikipedia)tier 3Tagine, Dishes Well-attested In the Other AtlasesOriginated InMesopotamiaAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Sheep (Wikipedia)tier 3Sources1.
