<h2>Yes, both lamb and mutton come from sheep</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Lamb refers to the meat from young sheep that are typically less than a year old. The flavour of lamb is milder, the meat is generally lighter in colour, and it is more tender.</p>
<p>Mutton, on the other hand, comes from older sheep, usually over a year old. The meat is richer in flavour, darker in colour, but the texture can be coarser compared to lamb.</p>

<h2>However, in many parts of the world, including India and some Asian countries, mutton also refers to goat meat. </p>
<p>Hence, mutton curry, which is made with goat meat.</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>In India and certain other countries, goat meat is more popular than lamb, so the term &#8216;mutton&#8217; often refers to goat meat. </p>
<p>In contrast, in the rest of the world, goat meat is either called <b>chevon</b> or<b> simply referred to as goat meat</b>.</p>
<p>The term &#8216;chevon&#8217; is derived from the French word &#8216;chevre&#8217;, which means goat.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>In Bahasa Melayu, <i>kambing </i>refers to goat meat, while lamb is referred to as <i>daging biri-biri.</p>
<p></i>However, it&#8217;s worth noting that<i>&nbsp;</i>lamb is sometimes called<i></i>&nbsp;<i>daging kambing muda</i>, which directly translates to meat from a young goat.<i>&nbsp;</i></p>
<p><b>In some contexts, the term </b><i><b>kambing</b></i><b> might be used more broadly for both goat and lamb</b>, so additional clarification may be required based on the specific meat desired.</p>
<p><i>Hope this clears things up!</i></p>
