article used before lamb

Why do you say "Nous mangeons de l'agneau" instead of "Nous mangeons d'agneau"? I thought lamb was masculin.

This question relates to:French lesson "lamb"

Bonjour Kristen,

Take a look at the following lesson, which will answer your question,

'de' on its own is a preposition meaning of/from.

I hope this helps!
