Teacher Re: The smell of mutton There is no specific word for that. We'd probably just use 'stink'.

Teacher Re: The smell of mutton Is the meat cooking or decomposing?
If it's cooking, it's a matter of opinion whether it's disgusting or delicious.

Re: The smell of mutton I'd like to tell you it was horrible, but I laughed out loud.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
