In [[South Asian cuisine|South Asian]] and [[Caribbean cuisine|Caribbean]] cuisine, "mutton" often means [[goat meat]].<ref name="oed">''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'', 3rd edition, June 2003, [https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/124371 ''s.v.'', definition 1b</ref><ref name=HT>{{cite news|title=Whose goat is it anyway?|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/brunch-stories/whose-goat-is-it-anyway/article1-809563.aspx|access-date=15 May 2015|newspaper=Hindustan Times |date=11 February 2012}}</ref><ref>Charmaine O'Brien, ''The Penguin Food Guide to India'', section "The Commons", under "Mutton", {{isbn|9780143414568}}</ref><ref>Madhur Jaffrey, ''An Invitation to Indian Cooking'', {{isbn|0375712119}}, p. 49</ref><ref>Janet Groene, Gordon Groene, ''U.S. Caribbean Guide'', 1998, {{isbn|1883323878}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=vh3eancwP-YC&q=goat%20mutton p. 81]</ref> At various times and places, "mutton" or "goat mutton" has occasionally been used to mean goat meat.<ref name="oed"/>
 
Lamb is the most expensive of the three types, and in recent decades, sheep meat ishas 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. In Australia, the term '''prime lamb''' is often used to refer to lambs raised for meat.<ref>[http://www.abare.gov.au/publications_html/livestock/livestock_00/lamb.pdf Australian Prime Lamb Industry, 2000] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110413052016/http://www.abare.gov.au/publications_html/livestock/livestock_00/lamb.pdf |date=13 April 2011 }}</ref> Other languages, such as [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], and [[Italian language|Italian]], make similar or even more detailed distinctions among sheep meats by age and sometimes by sex and diet—for example, ''[[lechazo]]'' in Spanish refers to meat from milk-fed (unweaned) lambs.
