Ribs of Mutton: composition reflects this culinary part relative to the whole ingredient.

History

Commonwealth home cookery kept mutton curry and slow stews when premium lamb prices rose; ribs of mutton took a named place in that kitchen trade.

Medieval English kitchens distinguished mutton from young lamb for feast stews and salted joints. Cooks treated ribs of mutton as a cut with its own timing and sides.

As mutton cookery specialised, ribs was portioned and sold ready for the pan. Victorian butchers charted mutton chops, legs and shoulders as everyday working-class roasts.
