Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One way to differentiate between lamb and mutton is the flexibility of the leg bones. Lamb legs will snap above the joint while mutton legs will break in the joint. The other options are not accurate - mutton is generally considered to have a stronger flavor than lamb, and lamb meat is generally more tender and lighter in color than mutton.
