Topic: Goat meat

[Paul-B]

I fancy trying my hand at a goat meat curry, anyone here have recommendations as to where I can buy it? There are a few online places but ideally it would be useful to find somewhere reasonably near Oxford. Failing that I might be tempted to weander up the Cowley Road and ask in a few of the Halal butchers shops there. Any advice gratefully received.

Without a doubt most halal butchers will guide you if not supply... I live in Yorkshire and it is never a problem here so just ask and I'm sure you will find it soon. Good luck its worth the effort and truly delicious, also try any west Indian take-aways or butchers for help.

Isn't what West Indians call goat (in the Curried Goat sense)  actually mutton though?  So if you asked for goat at a West Indian place it may just be mutton.

I suspect that in fact it is the opposite :  what some West Indians call "mutton" may in fact be goat, but mature goat rather than kid.

Am I the only one who thinks goat meat slells disguisting? ( sorry) : Or did I cook it in a wrong way?
