Curry goat

Comments

  • Hi everyone

    Went to Lewisham to visit some friends I haven't seen in some time and found a butcher near the market that sells goat's meat. Was quite surprised as I've never seen it anywhere else before. The market is outside Lewisham Centre. Would like to try it, but not sure if I would eat it once I've cooked it.
    LOL!

    Cheers

    Ok, I have searched, but came up with nothing, so if one of you searching geniouses out there can find something, then you'll be fantastic in my eyes forever!!

    Being insanely bored of eating chicken and lamb on rotation, I thought I would like to try goat.

    One problem: where on earth do I get hold of it????:confused: I've never seen it in the supermarket, and don't recall ever seeing it in a butchers.

    Surely you must be able to buy it somewhere. As not using the whole of the animal, I would assume would be a waste.

    Any help gratefully received

    I saw it on an oline store the other day when I was looking for organic food deliveries. Sorry I cant say more than that!

    I think you can treat like lamb (they used cutlets just like lamb when I was in Italy) and goat curry at the notting hill festival is quite famous ive heard though ive never had it myself. Apparently is lovely though.

    Look for a halal butcher, they will definitely sell goat.

    If you (or anyone reading this) is ever in London, the shop in Junction Rd, immediately opposite Archway tube station has a wide variety of goat cuts, and I'm planning to buy some soon. Someone told me you have to cook it l-o-n-g and s-l-o-w - will let you know how I get on.
