Not my exact intention. I only meant to say that many recipes from
India, when translated into American, will use the word mutton when in
actuality they would use goat when cooking it.

Goat is much more tender and has a different flavor from 'real' mutton,
which is a wether (castrated male sheep), or a breeding female, at least
2 years old. Mutton is not easy to find in the US.
