Why don’t Americans eat mutton?
Mutton is really goat. Lamb is just lamb meat. IMO, lamb is sometimes harder to cook because of the smell - you need the right spices to get rid of the smell. Easy to get mutton in most urban areas in the west - just look for a Halal meat shop.

In the UK lamb is cooked mostly unspiced - maybe a touch of rosemary and garlic. Mint sauce is used as a condiment.

I've never seen 'mutton' be goat. Mutton is the name for the meat of adult sheep, lamb is the name of meat from the juvenile sheep. Goat is goat.

They meant "good", not "goat", I think.

No, in the Indian subcontinent, it is usually taken refer to goat because sheep are pretty much scarce (Maharashtra and Kashmir being exceptions)
