Phred asked:

>> "What is a good [great?] recipe for Indian-style curried 'mutton'?"

Phred, I spent a few months in India this year, met a few of the locals and
chewed the fat about food literally and in general and had dinner in a few
homes. Enjoyed "mutton"in various guises, from "lamburgers"at McDonalds
(better than here"-) to various different curries. Some was goat, some was
sheep - all was referred to as "mutton" - no disctiction made or understood,
it appeared.
