Scrag end is the name of a cut of lamb and mutton, common in the UK and the Commonwealth. It is a primal cut, thus is separated from the carcass during butchering.[1][2]
Value
Scrag end is one of the cheaper cuts of meat, and can be used in soups and stews.[3] In the US, scrag end is known as the neck. Unlike scrag end, cutlets come from the part of the neck considered best, known as the middle neck.
