What have you recently eaten?

Late report but, 5/16 is national BBQ day. For some reason my office celebrated by ordering Indian food....

I got goat curry. My co worker is a sweetie and we always talk food but she never branches out. I made her try some she loved it. Made me very happy to share. Even though I had to order it mild lol.

I really actually like goat meat.

How tender is goat meat? Does it need to be cooked for a long time to make it palatable?
 
My dad came back from visiting some old family friends out of town and they brought back a fuckload of morel mushrooms someone gave them.

Given their elusive nature I've never had them but holy shit they're delicious. We sauteed them and had them with some ribeye steak and it was incredible. I'm not really sure how to describe them compared to your average store bought mushroom but they're definitely meatier and more flavorful.

Since they're raising animals specifically for their meat and butchering at their prime, it's not going to be much different to lamb.

It's often pretty tough and really does require something like braising or cooking in a tandoor oven at a low temperature for a long time. It also is often fairly gamy, so requires seasoning. My favorite for goat is a vindaloo. That said, it generally has a robust flavor, so the dishes where it does work, it works really well, but it isn't an easy meat to work with.

Just had tortelloni (premade because like I can make fucking tortelloni) in arriabata sauce with excessive garlic and a bit of scorpion powder and fresh ground Parmigiano-Reggiano.

I see. Does goat meat have a particular flavour or is it quite similar to another type of meat?

Yes, it's very similar to lamb, but generally gamier and tougher. It's probably closer to mutton, though.

It requires attention and time (and spice) to make it not just edible but tasty. I keep repeating this, but vindaloo is really the best way to make goat meat good. The spice should be just high enough to complement the rather strong flavor of goat but NOT drown it out entirely.

Covered above, but my costco has cubed goat "halal" too. it's bomb. personally I really like lamb too, I think it's both more gamey and imho needs longer breakdown. If we are talking say wild. Yeah When you look into goat meat, it's always stewed/curried. For a reason then it's like a "worse" lamb. Personally I enjoy gamey so to me it's nothing.

What I had was fork tender. I was really happy to share it with someone who just doesn't get out side her comfort zone. Currently snacking on good hard pretzels.

Aside I've always had a huge draw to game flavor, first time I ever had grouse meat and stuff like goat etc was me being edgy but I just really like it.

One of my favorite meats was when I did computer touching stuff for farmers who actually needed computer stuff even in the '80s.

And they didn't want to pay money, so they'd often offer barter. But their barter was really awesome. They had state law that they could basically ignore the usual hunting seasons and just shoot deer any time they liked. They grew corn. So they'd just let the deer feed on their corn until they were nice and fattened up and corn-fed.

And then they'd pay for their computer touching work with things like venison steak, venison sausage, venison anything, all corn-fed. Because, you know, they were protecting their crops. Best meat I've ever had.

based bambi eater! While enjoy deer meat and use as it fits, you probably had the best of it gets the a5 Bambi. In my area we just cleared a Piron fear. I'm so amped this fall to have a back strap treated like a london broil and some stew meat.
