I don't see a thread for these tasty critters. This is about the meat; I'd put ewe's and goat's dairy recipes in another thread. Here is a rather extensive list of lamb recipes from a sheep farm in New Hampshire. Many of the recipes would also be good for mature mutton or for goat (whether mature goat or kid). Remember that goat, unless it is very young, takes much longer cooking than lamb or even mutton, at a low heat. But it has the benefit of being far leaner, and is also very tasty. www.sheepscreek.com/recipe_list.html

That's a great link, Lagatta. Thanks for posting it. Lots of interesting recipes. The next time I see lamb chops at a good price, I wouldn't mind trying the Biltmore lamb chops with minted apples.

I am liking mutton more and more instead of lamb, since they are making a point of removing the mutton flavor from lamb. I have eaten lots of lamb that you can't even distinguish from beef. No point in that!
The Indian butchers sell a lot of goat around here. I've eaten goat, but I don't remember what it tastes like. While I'm sure that the taste would appeal to me, I have not managed to buy "goat for goat's sake" yet.

Goat tastes really good. There was one time when I couldn't eat it though. But only because the goat that we were eating used to wonder around a friend's back yard (sort of a pet), and then they killed it for food. Even my friend (who prepared it) couldn't eat it.

We had a rather in depth discussion about goat meat in here real recently. Darned if I can find it,but,I remember discussing a recent trend in American cuisine about goat meat being used more and more in finer dining establishments,and a goat farm in a neighboring state that was transporting meat here to the city despite having to overcome stringent inspection regulations. I also recounted having eaten goat at a Haitian restaurant in Miami.(it was wonderful!) This is making me batty because it so germane to this new thread.

Birria de chivo is not baaad at all! Nor is barbacoa. A neighboring rancher acquired some sheep and goats and we sometimes see them herded up and down the rural street to the side of our house. Maybe I can get a picture next time they pass by.

Hmmm... if I go to buy goat, I wonder what I should buy? A roast, stew meat, chops?

The goat farmer at the farmer's market here told me that the most tender cuts are the legs,ribs,portions of the shoulder cut, the loin roast,and the breast. I've had several kinds of goat stew,mostly curried,but one or two that were done in a Middle Eastern style.Cooked similar to a lamb stew but,much longer. I have a Pakistani Goat Stew recipe if you're interested.

Hold your goats until I decide to buy some.
