Aldeburgh town has gone mutton mad!
Interesting mutton facts….
- The older and more exercised the muscle of a grazing animal, the more intense a flavour it has
- Mutton has been found to have 40% higher levels of Omege-3 fatty acids than lamb
- Of all the grazing animals, mutton has the richest source of Vitamins B6 and B12, thiamine and iron
And because this under-rated, healthy meat tastes so completely delicious, we’ve decided to give it its own festival…
