What
is lamb? Lamb is meat from young sheep less than 12 months old; lamb tastes like a lamb, which is tender and mild in flavor. The flavor of lamb is often characterized as tender and mild, with a hint of gaminess. The tenderness of lamb meat is a result of its youth, as younger animals tend to have more tender flesh compared to older ones. If your family is trying lamb for
the first time, slow cooker lamb stew is the perfect meal.
