In reply to the discussion: Why don't we, as Americans, eat lamb and goat? [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)Not just in various ethnic restaurants (there's even a butcher specializing in goat meat not far from me) but ... in a super popular upscale restaurant called The Girl and the Goat. You have to wait like 3 months for a reservation. We took my (vegetarian) daughter-in-law there for her birthday, and while we ordered all vegetable-based dishes (delish!), my husband ordered a goat pate that I tasted. It was super. There are many goat-based dishes on the menu.
I eat plenty of lamb (including a French stew recipe I make every spring that has fresh fava beans, baby turnips and ... champagne!) but I have to say the "idea" of eating goat is a little out of my comfort zone. I've loved goats since I was a child going to the state fair. They're so cute. I just don't relish the thought of eating one.
