Kentucky Fried Lamb is one of the most popular restaurants in the world. Fried lamb is a product of the industrial age and is widely sold. Is there a way to prevent this?

Perhaps pork could be another placement but how make about that kosher? Probably we should with some way stop spreading of Simonian Judaism* to Europe and then to western hemisphere.

*Alternate form of Judaism which allow missionary but has still many dogmas of Judaism.
 
With Hinduism being the main religion of the West, it was logical that mutton would be the main source of meat. I understand that in parts of South Asia they eat cow, which seems really strange to me.
 
OOC: isn't it already? Everybody eats lamb in Europe?
Sure, not KFC yet, but it's because it's more expensive to raise a lamb than a chicken...
 
One of the reasons mutton is so popular in Europe is because it's a nomad food, and thus a favorite of the Huns. Butterfly them away and mutton remains one of many choices, or at least destabilize them to the point that the Hunnic Empire doesn't have its six hundred year lifespan that it had OTL.
 
OOC: Yeah, plenty popular in OTL. I've probably eaten a whole lamb already this year, and I don't eat that much meat. (exaggeration, it's probably like a quarter).
But if mean mutton, not as popular. And frying it would be a terrible idea, IMO.
 
Lamb is taken to market earlier than mutton (or beef for non Hindus) which makes the production faster and cheaper. Only chicken is more efficient.

Even if the West were mainly Jewish and Christian, beef is just too expensive to be a substitute for lamb. Plus wool is more useful than leather.
 
Well I'd imagine the goat would take its place. Lord knows goat milk and goat cheese and goat yogurt are popular in most countries already. Imagine a world where goat herders don't have to compete with sheep herders.
 
(But you mean mutton, I assume. Or lamb? I don't think the two would just be lumped together as "sheep".)
A lamp is just a baby sheep, are babies not lump in with adults when you say people?
If we disclose lambs because they have a different name do we didclude rams as well? No it's the same animal.

But we are talking about the meat here. We distinguish between lamb and mutton just like veal and beef.
 
Arguments related to sheep names resulted in the horrendous violence of the Nomenclature Wars of 1899-1903, so with a different dietary pattern we may have avoided that tragedy.
