Goat 3530

Heh, funny you should post this! I have been wanting to try goat for quite some time, and finally my wife found some not more than ~2 weeks ago.

We had some diced pieces, neither of us knew how to cook it, all we were told is cook it slowly (2 hours was suggested, did it for only 1 hour though).

We were at a bit of a loss, so I just 'decided' I'd make a fairly typical English style stove top meat and vegetable stew with it, using some nice fresh herbs (bay, thyme, a little rosemary, parsley, sage, etc. Oh, and I added about 6 fresh 'catmint' leaves too - it's a really highly underrated cooking herb!), and it was delicious! It was quite tender after the hour, but it could have perhaps benefited from longer.

Think I may just have put some diced sweet potato in there as well, or maybe it was butternut squash... hmmmm...

Anyway - it was a great way to try goat meat out for the first time. DOES NOT 'taste a bit like chicken', nor did it 'kinda taste a bit like lamb' as I expected. In fact I thought it had a fairly similar flavour to beef. I'd buy it again certainly.

Cheers!
