Chefs and diners commonly know sheep meat prepared for food as lamb or mutton (compare the French word for "sheep": mouton).

Ewes' milk is used in the production of cheese and yogurt in many upland parts of the world. Well known sheep milk cheeses include the Roquefort of France, the brocciu of Corsica, the pecorino of Italy and the feta cheese of Greece. See Category:Sheep's-milk cheeses. Sheep milk contains lactose, and may trigger lactose intolerance in humans.[2]

Sheep testicles - called animelles or Lamb fries in culinary terms - are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. They are sometimes confused with Rocky Mountain oysters which are exclusively the testicles of boars or bulls.
