The Mystery of Mutton SOLVED!

Okay, we know that mutton is sheep. And in fact, sheep are quite abundant throughout the North, according to my friends who have traveled there. Unfortunately, it's too hot in the South to raise sheep anyway (thick, wooly coats and all). But, that doesn't really matter, because, in India, mutton isn't sheep! No, my friends, it's goat, which I see far too often here. So, Indian mutton = goat. Mystery solved.
