Lamb

A lamb is a young sheep, typically one that is less than a year old. The term is often used to refer to the meat of such an animal, which is a popular source of food in many cultures. In Hebrew, the word for lamb is טלה (pronounced "taleh"). In other languages, the word for lamb includes agneau in French, cordero in Spanish, and Lamm in German. Lamb meat is prized for its tender texture and distinctive flavor, which can vary based on the animal's diet and age. It is commonly used in a variety of dishes, including roasts, stews, and grilled preparations. The consumption of lamb is particularly significant in religious and cultural traditions, such as the Jewish Passover and the Christian Easter, where it holds symbolic importance.
