Scrag end is one of the cheaper cuts of meat, and is often used in soups and stews. [3] In the United States, scrag end is known as the neck. Unlike scrag end, cutlets come from the part of the neck considered best, known as the middle neck.
Lamb is the most expensive of the three types, and in recent decades, sheep meat has increasingly only been retailed as "lamb", sometimes stretching the accepted distinctions given above. The stronger-tasting mutton is now hard to find in many areas, despite the efforts of the Mutton Renaissance Campaign in the UK.
Preheat the oven to 300°. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. In a casserole, heat the oil, add the lamb and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until browned, 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Tenderness is a desirable quality, as tender meat is softer, easier to chew, and generally more palatable than harder meat. Consequently, tender cuts of meat typically command higher prices. The tenderness depends on a number of factors including the meat grain, the amount of connective tissue, and the amount of fat. [1]

Doneness is a gauge of how thoroughly cooked a cut of meat is based on its color, juiciness, and internal temperature. The gradations are most often used in reference to beef (especially steaks and roasts) but are also applicable to other types of meat.
Rib chops of lamb contain more fat than loin chops. If the whole primal cut is left intact, the cut is instead a rack of lamb. Like pork rib chops, they have little connective tissue, so they are usually roasted as a rack, or grilled one by one. They may also be frenched, with the meat and fat cut off the bone. [3]
A sheep in its first year is called a lamb, and its meat is also called lamb. The meat of a juvenile sheep older than one year is hogget; outside North America this is also a term for the living animal. [1] The meat of an adult sheep is mutton, a term only used for the meat, not the living animal.
