"Who knew a goat had a fore udder and a rear udder?" I asked myself as I was casually looking through goat images and came across this informative picture to the right. I studied it closely and then realized this was no page of a coloring book, thoughts of barbecue sauce and A-1 were
lingering in the back of my mind. Now, I'm no expert on goat anatomy....but when I examine the diagram above and see edible terms like Ribs, Thigh, Rump, & Brisket, I imagine this poster-size on the wall at a butcher. This "cute" picture is nothing more than a page in a cookbook, instructions on the 25 ways the fillet your goat. Incomprehensible. I'm disgusted at the thought. Once again I'm back to asking myself how
anyone could eat a goat, why one would do so with so many other forms of meat available?
Unfortunately, I found an answer. Along with being much cheaper than other available meats, according to the USDA, its also healthier.
Per 3 oz. Cooked
also........ Cholesterol (mg) .....63.8 .......76 .....73.1 .....73.1 .....78.2
Data from USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Release 14 (July 2001).
Searching the web over I found website after website dedicated to keeping the world informed on the benefits of goat eating, the best goat recipes, and where to buy your goat meat....I even came across a "goat association" that claimed "Goat is the most FRIENDLY red meat"! Please, someone explained what is friendly about red meat. I'm a bit confused.
Words I would use to describe red meat: red, juicy, germy, expensive, fatty, lean, aged, prime, medium-well, raw
Words I would not use to describe red meat: cute, precious, welcoming, honest, personable, loving, friendly.
So please, someone tell me if you share in my confusion of this image below....
