Honest mutton

At one point yesterday I commented that something was "...too b***dy heavy to work" and my swearing was rebuked by a colleague as "An honest mutton needs no sauce". Fair enough, but that saying is new to me. A northern thing?

I had to think wether to post it.
...................... (^pun!)

I have given a lot of thought to whether any of this wordplay made me laugh. No pun in ten did.

There is a variation of an old saying among chefs that 'a good piece of meat needs no sauce'.

I do hope you are not implying that she is mutton . . . . ?
