Year of the Sheep
or
Year of the Goat

We've just come back from Hong Kong....in the touristy places it was the year of the sheep...with fluffy lambkins and mummy sheep....and in the other places it was horny goats all over the place.

I wonder if it was something they were feeding the goats, that caused the problem.... :)

Never eaten goat. Is it nice? I see our local butcher has started to sell it now.

VERY nice - like a mix of beef and lamb in texture. It's good slow roasted :)

Yep, like a strong flavoured lamb or mutton. Darker meat.

If you order "lamb" in a Spanish restaurant it's most likely goat (kid). Very nice, though.
