1. Shoulder of mutton is a culinary term that refers to a specific cut of meat from a sheep or lamb. It is derived from the shoulder portion of the animal, including the joint connecting the leg to the body. The term "shoulder of mutton" is primarily used in British English.

   The shoulder of mutton is known for being a flavorful and tender part of the animal.

   Typically, this cut is bone-in, allowing for even more depth of flavor during cooking. It can be cooked as a whole roast or can be further broken down into smaller portions, such as chops or steaks. The versatility of the shoulder of mutton makes it suitable for various recipes and cooking techniques, including slow-cooking, stewing, or grilling.
