versus - Vs

been meaning to write bout this few days ago, but totally forget bout it till today. on that fateful night, i had dinner-cum-supper at a 'lepakz' place (my fav hangouts) along Bt Timah. was there with wifey, Nadra Raissha and some close ones (u know who they are from my prev posts).

then, there come a part when we were arguing bout this word. i am really taken a back when she do not know wat it really means. Not really meaning to make it sound bad, but... am really sure that her English could make her travel to US without any prob. but... ehem.... wat happen??

anyway, its the difference, between, mutton and beef...

wat could be so difficult, right? hmmm... u will be surprise when u get to know this. a study around the world proved that 47.83% of the whole English-spoken population are confused when they ordered food with this 2 meat stuffs in the ingredients. knowing that mutton are sheep's meat, why is there a necessity to have lamb chop too...?

for some unknown reason, the one who invented the word "lamb" actually intended to differentiate the meat of an older sheep and the young ones. So, when u got to the "mama" shop and ordered lamb chop, it actually comes in a slice form of meat and mutton chop comes in the ground version.

beef. it actually comes from a cow and come in many cuts. each portion of a cow gives a different name to the cut and normally cooked in a different ways, due to its tenderness. to name u a few, sirloin, tenderloin, chunk, round, plate, rib, bisket and shank.

nevertheless, the term which makes people confuse are of the same kind. below are the definition that may assist you to get the right food on ur table when ordered. bare in mind... *wink.

MUTTON [mutton] flesh of mature sheep prepared as food (as opposed to the flesh of young sheep, which is known as lamb). Mutton is deep red with firm, white fat.

BEEF [beef] flesh of a cow prepared for food. comes in different cut that gives a different name. beef is red deep raw meat, seldom comes with fat.
