Comment on Why do we not eat pig or cow?

I’m also confused as to why English-speaking people in general, at least in the U.S. and Britain, are fine with eating sheep but not goat. Goat is one of those exotic meats the foreigners eat for some reason. I’ve never even had the opportunity to try goat. Could it be all that different?

Goat is a bit of an acquired taste. That’s why it’s usually heavily spiced and stewed or slow cooked. And it’s not like people eat a ton of mutton, either.

It's different in the same way that pheasant is different to chicken or wild pork is different to farmed pork.

In other words a stronger taste.

Goat is widely eaten in my country. We don’t eat lamb.

  What country is that, if you don’t mind me asking?
  
  Goat sounds more sustainable. You don’t have to keep culling them when they’re juveniles.

    Funny, because lamb is extremely common in Indian food here in the U.S. I guess they Americanize it, which is not shocking.

Goat is quite widely eaten in the UK. Mainly in Carribbean cuisine and indian cuisine in my experience.

  I guess I meant outside of food cultures that don’t come from within those countries.
