Been testing out the aging length... have had a couple roasted hind legs aged 6 days. Everyone thought it was lamb with a floral hint, I reckon its pretty close but with a wee bit of gamey flavour. Lamb tastes fatty to me now.
I've only shot/eaten young goats sofar maybe 1-2 years old. Next one I think I'll gut/skin and bring back the whole thing then try to age it a bit longer now I have a dedicated fridge for it in the garage. No signs of bad stuff happening upto 6 days so I think I might push the aging out to 7-9 days.... can only get better eh?
Good eating so far.....
Hind legs roasted = good. smaller size than lamb but similar taste, Latest goats have had a bit of fat layer on them so that heps in the roasting.
Backstraps made into jerky = really good, it only last a day or so.... evryone scoffs it down fast
Front legs, wait til it relaxes then bone out and mince = best burger patties I've had, will see how it goes in lasagnia goes tonight.
I guess there's also the traditional Curry if its a really gnarly old one
