Goat meat is now becoming more popular in the UK. The number of local breeders is increasing and goat is also being imported. In many countries goat meat has been, and still is, an underappreciated meat.
Goat meat can be tough but it is more flavourful and lean. I like goat meat, unfortunately it is not available where I live. When I lived in New Zealand I had a friend who had a part time job shooting goats because they were nuisance, destroying plants. I remember one day he shot 180 goats and those were all thrown away. What a waste.
It is amazing how changes are occurring in our attitude towards certain foods. Coconut had been receiving bad reputation because of saturated fat but now it is coming back in fashion in full force. And now goats are slowly trotting in. It will be interesting to see which foods fall out of favour and which ones become more popular.

i am not a big fan of goat meat (haha i am vegan) but even cooking it for others is not my fun. i've never had it before either, but it kind of scares me!
ReplyDeletethe chocolate cake is beautiful. sometimes i wish i were a pastry chef, so i could learn how to decorate like that!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing..
I really love the sound of your breakfast! I've only had goat meat a few times... I much prefer goat cheese :D
ReplyDeleteGoat meat curry is awesome! The meat has a very pungent aroma that some folks probably may find a little off-putting (does that sound right? sounds weird or maybe I should say put-offing? Nah.)
ReplyDeleteI love it tho ... mmm ... gotta go find some now for lunch. Yum!
Hmm, I have never treid goat meat, but I'm willing to give it a try if I have a chance. What a beautiful chocolate cake... Mr. Three-Cookies, you always find good stuff to share! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like goat meat-there is a goat meat restaurant in Sydney and we tried goat tartare there.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried goat meat and pretty sure I probably won't, but interesting that it is gaining popularity. What a gorgeous cake!
ReplyDeleteGoats are certainly a great solution for poor populations, since apparently they will feed on anything (dry branches are a goat's delight) and of course they give milk. I have tasted goat meat only once, in a Caribbean restaurant in Paris. It was simmered for long hours in a spicy sauce and I loved it. I have to admit the taste is very strong and probably difficult to accept for many people (just like mutton or lamb).
ReplyDeleteI think there are many Caribbean restaurants in Paris serving goat meat. I have never seen it here, but I have once or twice spotted a frozen small goat in a shop for restaurants, so some place must serve it...
I'm a fan of both goat meat and coconut coming back into fashion. I've had it in an Afghani restaurant and really liked it!
ReplyDeleteThat favorite photo looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou eat such a healthy and varied diet...I'm always impressed! Not sure I'll ever jump on the goat bandwagon...just something I didn't grow up with :)
ReplyDeleteSemolina porridge sounds awesome! I want to try!
ReplyDeleteNot a goat meat kind of fan but it sounds interesting. I like your porridge you said you had. Can you make me some!
ReplyDeleteJunia: haha, so you are not a big fan of goat or any meat! Don’t be scared, its only a goat, a dead one!
ReplyDeleteFoodness Gracious: thank you for visiting
Hannah: its not so common in Australia I guess. I think NZ and Australia might export it to UK
ping: I never thought of that, put off but off putting. You are lucky, you can go out and probably quite easily find goat curry. If I go and try to find goat curry for lunch, maybe I will find it for lunch but it might be many days later!
Nami: I hope you manage to find and try it, its different
Lorraine: goat tartare, never heard or nor tried that before. Sounds interesting
Maris: maybe one day you might as food trends change
Sissi: only once? It sounds like it was goat curry, or something similar. I’ve only eaten goat curry, and many times. It does have a unique smell and taste.
Joanne: good!
Yummychunklet: it does!
Lizzy: thank you, I try! maybe one day you might try goat as food trends change
Erica: it was awesome!
Kitchen Belleicious: next time I will make extra for you:)
I guess now they dont throw it away in NZ as I see them selling in the supermarket, I guess its due to demand as well a lot of Indians and Muslims now here and they are the primary consumers of that type of meat, we do eat that as well in the Philippines but more of a special occasion and not the daily type stuff.
ReplyDeleteGoat meat is a fantastic meat and very healthy too, having less fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and calories than beef, lamb, pork and chicken, but retaining an equal amount of protein. We rear our own Boer meat goats on the North Yorkshire Moors so why not visit our website www.whiteroseboergoats.co.uk .We also sell Goat Milk Soaps.
