karitsan
Karitsan is a term of Finnish origin that refers to lamb meat. It is the meat of a young sheep, typically less than one year old. The taste and texture of karitsan are generally milder and more tender than mutton, which comes from older sheep. This distinction makes karitsan a popular choice for various culinary preparations.
In Finnish cuisine, karitsan is often featured in traditional dishes. It can be roasted, stewed, or grilled.
The availability of karitsan in Finland is influenced by the country's agricultural practices and sheep farming.
