Why does Beef taste so much better than Lamb?

[miles]

I've heard from quite a few people that the dislike the taste of (raw)lamb... Is it just a conditioning, or is there any reason why (raw)beef may actually be better?

   Everyone is different re tastes. For example, I prefer the taste of raw mutton to raw lamb and the taste of raw lamb to raw beef.

I don't eat either mutton or lamb muscle-meats, as they are quite expensive. But I do eat lots of lamb organ-meats, which are much cheapier and they are tasty.
I've got access to good quality of horse meat that is quite cheap and has got unique flavour and taste.

I like beef over lamb.

Now that I have tasted horse, I'm hooked, I like horse as much as beef.

Maybe we all have different body chemistries and needs and of course it depends on the animal you get in your locale.

Horse is my fave, followed by lamb. (so far)

I had wild smelts the other day, they were fantastic, tasted like the ocean.

I prefer lamb over beef but its possible the grocery store beef I get is grainfed. I still like raw fish and scallops the most though- I mostly eat cooked paleo (no choice) so its harder for me to get accustomed to the taste of raw land meats.

Yes. They have raw horsemeat sashimi for example.
