Redeemed myself in the next spot... Phew..... The little Howa Mini 223 keeping the freezer full as usual

That's a lovely looking few meals there. Haven't had it for years but I used to enjoy a roast leg of goat and think they'd be great in a salami

Been awhile since I’ve had goat as well. It’s really great eating and you’re correct, it makes beautiful salami.

Great ! Now I just gotta get off my ass and find some to put in the freezer

famous for trifle spongue as give it wonderful yellow colour

Lazy tea tonight... Fresh goat liver seasoned with salt, pepper thyme and chilli flakes, stir fry pak choy with garlic and chilli flakes and a (poorly) poached duck egg.... First feed from yesterday's goat...

Well done bumblefoot. You almost inspired me to get out for a goat hunt tomorrow, but we're having some rough weather at the moment, so it can wait a few days.

@MB It's such a reliable protein source. I get a bit of shit for mostly hunting goats from the "if you shoot anything other than deer or pigs your willy will shrink" types. But I don't care. I'm not into that macho hunter bollocks

Due to geography, being limited to public land and no dogs, goats are now the only animal I can realistically hunt apart from ducks. I must have a very small penis

Roast goat is fantastic eating. (Rank old billy goats excluded..)

Just reply with you'll never notice the difference but they better get more deer/pigs

Greetings @bumblefoot,
Eons ago I made the same transition in thinking. Any goat that passed the smell test went in the freezer. Any that did not were bypassed. To me the billies had more flavour than the rest.
Regards Grandpamac,
PS Went back and added the last two words to the first sentence to save any confusion.

Right from when I was a kid (pun intended) I haven't liked goat meat. I shot one when I was about 15 and was very proud so Mum cooked it up nicely - but I couldn't eat it. No prejudice. Just don't like it. A friend tried to pass expensive bought goat off as lamb not long ago - I could tell with the first mouth full. Forced it down 'cos I'm polite.

Im with you. Goat is foul. Best kicked down into the scrub after being shot .
