Funny, my wife can't stand the odor of cooked lamb. Matter of fact, once
I was making a leg of lamb, and she started retching so hard, she
collapsed on the floor (neurocardiogenic syncope,) and me and my
brother-in-law had to slap her on the face with some cold water.

Let alone old mutton; that would definitely kill her.
