WINCO "Goatmeat".

[ZigZagZeke]

And BTW, our Soay lamb meat when it's ground makes spectacular spaghetti sauce. There's something about the Italian seasoning that just fits with the flavor of the meat.

That's good to know and I didn't know that those sheep, as you said in an earlier post, were so easy to keep and what all. I used to live on chicken, elk.. well, everything but beef for some time.. slaughtering and butchering as many as ten sheep in a day to put up.

If you do the slaughter and butchering yourself it's really cheap, like less than $1 per pound. And the big thing is you don't have to shear them. They shed every spring. We only touch them twice a year for worming and vaccinations.

Very cool.

I shot a goat off the roof of my new GMC Sierra Grande 4x4 back in '79. Said goat was a gift to my wife and drove us crazy. Running up and butting people, constantly at large, seemed no pen could hold him. Got up to make coffee one cold January morn, looked out the window and saw the little bastard jump from the hood to the roof of my recently purchased $8,800 truck. One Remington 12 gauge rifled slug swept his boney asss clean off the truck. No fuss, no muss and not one spec of gore to clean off the truck, literally knocked the shat out of him though as I found several goat nuggets on the roof and in the bed.
Didn't really leave much to butcher either; just the head, 4 legs, tail, rectum, ballsack & unit, one hind quarter, one shoulder, and most of one rack of ribs.
Wife woke up when she heard the 870 go off and was actually relieved by my action and held no ill will towards me.

hmmm sounds like something to try


what does goat meat taste like? try and describe it or relate it to another meat.

I find it to be moist, mild and with a pleasant flavor. I don't know who said it, but he was right, it does not taste like chicken. I grew up 124 miles north of our southern border and it is wildly popular in Mexico. I have it in tacos, machaca and BBQ. Good stuff.

The thing about the "Okinawan Diet" is that yea, they eat a lot of greens or what and eat perhaps only 80 lbs of animal protien (pork) per annum, but they eat all of the afforded fat from the brains (cholesterol good for maleness/whatever) to the tendons etc.
And they work hard daily.. it's no big deal, twinkie bois
nevermind

I had the occasion to stop in Okinawa for about week in 1970. I am not sure that I would wish to prolong my life if I lived there.

OK, I don't care who you are; that's funny!

I used to backpack deep into the Bob Marshal and Bitterroot.. one time a companion was a free paper goat complete with a home stitched burlap backpack.. containing BBQ sauce. I was out for over a month.

I'm nuts about ethnic food... I tend to eat a lot of indian, persian, and mexican cuisine, of which goat is a very common ingredient. Interestingly enough I had goat taco for lunch today. Generally I would compare the flavor of goat to be similar to a lean grass-fed beef taste. Think dinty moore stew without the horrible tasting gravy. It's a bit tougher than beef usually is, but it's got good flavor. Goat curry is one of my favorite indian dishes.

The discussion earlier about someone's problem goat reminded me of this:

Holy cow.. I mean goat.

We enjoy going to a local restaurant that serves an African Buffet and the goat is the best thing on the table! They prepare it by braising in a liquid that either thickens or is thickened into a rich brown gravy. It's spectacular!

Okay you started it, which restaurant?

You got me drooling on my keyboard.

Namaste in Vancouver serves curried goat on a regular basis. It reminds me a bit of beef but it seems a bit more stringy type of meat. Tasty thought.

I saw the goat at winco on 122nd today. It was bone in cubed frozen. I'd like to make a stew with it to try it out. It was from Austrailia.

 

[marty8587]

Carribian Spice at 42nd and Prescott has always had it frozen. If you want fresh or different cuts Sheridan fruit Co. can order just about anything.

I didn't specifically look for (or even think to look - I should have) but I was looking at meats in the Cornelius Pass Rd. Winco yesterday and didn't see it.
