I have not had the pleasure of sampling goat and not sure I want to.
It is fine, but doesn't taste like the apocryphal chicken. Chicken used to be a nice treat, but modern farming practices have changed that.
Goat has a good flavour, more like beef or venison, and since it isn't intensively farmed it needs appropriate cooking to ensure it isn't too tough.
Not necessarily.
In another life I had 100's of them and for a local goat people doo we put a good sized kid (young goat) on the rotisserie spit and served it up to them not telling what it was where most presumed it was good old spit roast lamb. It was a little more bland than lamb and beautifully tender however.....when the real goat lovers got the word it WAS goat some left the party in horror !
Funny as hell it all was too as the old chap down the road where this doo was held was one of the most highly regarded in the local goat fraternity and no one was more in on the deceit than he was !
Miss him heaps and named our youngest in his honor.
Must be a bit rough on a youngster going to school with a name like "Old Goaty".
It's known as character building.
Larry Minor has done quite well for himself despite being bullied at school and needing to be shown how to properly down the little turd with a single love tap and today he
owns a fleet of contracting gear, small house, has a great chick for a partner and runs our farm with his own livestock.
Show them the drive, share some tools of life and just let them get on with it with a little nudge in the right direction if/when required.....says the proud dad on Fathers day.
