whole lamb
Entire young ovine
A whole lamb is the entire carcass of a young sheep, typically prepared for roasting or spit-cooking at large gatherings.
Whole lamb is traditional at celebrations in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cultures: They roasted a whole lamb for the Easter feast.
The phrase also appears in butcher shops and meat markets to describe purchasing an unbutchered animal for custom processing.
