GOAT MEAT COOKERY: In many countries around the world, goat meat is a dietary staple and a delicacy served in specialty dishes, particularly at celebratory gatherings. As ethnic populations continue to rise, so does the demand for goat meat. Goat is especially popular among Hispanics, Caribbean Islanders, and Muslims. However, each group of individuals has different preferences for the type and weight of the goat they purchase. Hispanics prefer meat from young high-quality goat kids, while people of Caribbean heritage and the Muslim faith prefer meat from older goats of lesser quality, and frequently intact males. Consumers need to learn a few basic rules regarding cookery. First, cook goat meat at low temperatures. Due to its low-fat content and lack of marbling (small streaks of fat found within the muscle), goat meat can loose moisture and toughen quickly if cooked at high temperatures. Second, cook goat meat with moisture. To enhance flavor and increase tenderness, use a marinade on the meat before cooking and cook with moist heat, such as stewing. Note that the Internet contains numerous goat meat recipes.
