What Does Goat Meat Taste Like?

[Digging4Truth]

We are looking into growing goats and wonder if anyone has any idea what goat tastes like.

[seguidordejesus]

It's good. I think it's kind of moist when roasted. I really like it.

It is pretty good. I ate some at a Mexican guys house. He paid something like $120 for the goat and he basically got ripped off.

I have two goats in a big fence in my backyard just so I don't have to mow inside. They are the stupidest animals but they will eat every blade of grass that they can get to.

I don't think you can make much money raising goats. If you could make a profit of $15 - $25 per goat it would take a lot of goats to make any real money. It might be easier to just get a part time job.

Jamaican Curry Goat is very good.

[Digging4Truth]

Wow... that is good to hear.

I have been considering raising sheep for meat. I don't know why but I considered goat meat to be a "dirty animal" meat but I was amazed to find several things...

Goat is kosher.
Goat is far more healthy than the other red meats (beef, lamb etc)

Below is a chart from a webpage I found and WOW... goat even gives chicken a run for its money on saturated fats etc.

If you are selling goats, you will never go out of business if you are near any Jamaicans. Curry Goat is one of their staples. You can find it in any Jamaican restaurant and it is very good.

That is definitely true. But we are looking to raise them simply for our own consumption. We have chickens and might be adding goats soon. I met a guy this weekend in Hot Springs that has some pygmy goats that he is going to get rid of in January. We might get started then.

The only thing I have tried was goat stew and I liked that okay.

It turns out that we Western Civilization types are the last to get on the bandwagon with these goats.

I have read that Goat meat is the most consumed red meat in the world.

And they eat shrubs, weeds, the siding on your home... anything they can get to they will eat.

[Cindy]

We have goats and chickens. We have the chickens for eggs, and the goats mow our pasture.

[Kae]

Goat milk is also superior to infant formula.

It is absolutely true that they will eat the siding off your house. We moved ours because of this. They are great weed killers. I believe I read in Los Angeles, the county uses goats to eat large amounts of grass in hard to reach places, that mowers can't readily reach.

Sounds like government doing something smart...

Hmm...

Somehow those words don't seem normal when seen together in a sentence like that.

Not for every child and every situation. There are many who can't take goat's milk.

I forgot about this. I know a guy who only drinks goat milk because he doesn't trust all the commercial ways that milk is processed.

Also, I love the taste of goat meat but I would hesitate to eat my goats because my three year old daughter would freak out. I couldn't imagine telling them that they are eating one of the goats. Plus, they babies are really cute and my wife would freak out if we ate it.

D4T, where are you located now and did you ever find a good church to attend? My BIL is attending a UPC church in Hot Springs.

Ain't that the truth, I think it was also for fire breaks. I believe the Fire Dept. recommended it.

**SHUDDDERS!*****

We had my first daughter dedicated along with 5 other kids at Church 10 years ago.
One of the parents was a cook & he did most of the food preparation for the dinner afterwards.
I was sitting with my wife when I started smelling some stinky feet!
I sniffed my shoes, my food, my wife's food, & then I inhaled a whiff of her soup!!!!
Woa Nelly!!! She said it was Goat Soup!

I told her, "You are suppposed to give it a bath before you put it in the soup!!!

Yuck!

[HADDOCK]

When I was young my dad pastored a little country church in rual West Tennessee. One of the men of the church raised goats and often would barbeque goat. I remember it being good but haven't had goat in many years.

I wonder if the city of Baltimore would allow me to keep a pet goat outdoors?

I wonder if it would be stolen!

[rgcraig]

Probably taste like chicken - - doesn't everything always taste like chicken?

[berkeley]

biria, great stuff!

[Theresa]

how does the taste compare to other meat??

and for anyone who might have had it, does lamb that you get at a greek restaurant really taste like lamb? Or is it cut with pork or something else to make it more pleasing to the american pallate?

I think the lamb you get in Greek restaraunts is usually seasoned lamb...like they use for Gyros...I love it...but not everyone likes lamb.

I love that lamb. I just wondered if it was cut with pork or anything

I don't think you can keep livestock in city limits. But it never hurts to ask I guess.

I have a funny goat story:

Back when I was in my early 20's, I worked at a newspaper doing ad layout. ONe day one of my co-workers asked if anyone there lived on a farm and might be interested in a free goat. Her son had had one for 4H but was tired of it. I told her I would take it for my aunt who lived on a farm about an hour or so away from there.

Well, we didn't have a cage or anything. And I had a junker of a car anyway. So I just stuck the goat in my backseat and headed out to my aunt's. On the way there, I decided to drive through McDonald's and get some quick supper.

When I got to the drive thru window, the kid working there got this shocked look on his face and said to me, "Hey, lady. Do you know you have a goat in your backseat?"

I said, "Sure I do."

Then he says, "So........... do goats make good pets?"

As I get ready to drive off, I say to him, "I don't know. It's not my goat!"

I watched his jaw drop in my rear view mirror as I drove off. :ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny

Ashley spent a month in Eastern Kenya (on the Indian Ocean) when she was 17 with Teen Mania Ministries. They had boiled goat or goat stew every night. She actually thought it was really good! If I ever had goat in Kenya, which is totally possible, I just thought it was beef. I don't think there's a lot of difference.

Goat tastes much like venison. Isaac couldn't tell the difference between Jacob's goat pottage and Esau's savory venison. Low in cholesterol and uric acid it is one of the healthiest meats you can eat.
Gen 27:1-4
27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.

Gen 27:9-10
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
