I think that Shepherd's Pie was originally mutton-based rather than lamb, but mutton is now much harder to find than it was when I was a kid.

You may be right, dude. After some research, both are from the same animal, just from different ages of said animal. Lamb is to be less than one year old, where as mutton is supposed to be from a 3 year old. Interesting stuff! Every time I hear the word mutton, I can't help but think back to that Seinfeld episode where Jerry steals the fancy napkins because he spits out all of his mutton into them, and then gets chased by dogs, lol. Thanks for bringing me back to some good laughter @preparedwombat. When should we expect to see your voyage into this food flinging fiesta we call #fff???
