Happy Bayramlars all round  

[simpsons]

Except to the poor old goats.

Thought it was illegal for them to be slaughtered outside the confines of a registered slaughter house.  Witnessed seven despatched this morning without leaving the balcony!......but guess what is for our dinner tonight[?]

Is there ever goat on the menu in local restaurants?  I have never tried it, often wondered what it tastes like..probably chicken!!

[dycedon]

Jacqui, you may think you have never tried it  , maybe inadvertantly.

[milliemars]

I also witnessed one poor goat that it took nearly 3 hours to slaughter and skin it,not that I watched for  all that time.Bloody barbaric.

We are usually given some by our neighbours at this time of year. It is delicious....very akin to lamb and obviously it is so fresh having been sacrificed the same day.  Makes an absolutedly brilliant Ottoman Style stew. I guess you can do anything with it that you would with lamb but bear in mind if you are given it by neighbours it will probably be just chopped up in pieces not professionally jointed as you would expect from a butcher

your quite right Brian, tribalelder, its very delicious..and very much like lamb..i too am lucky to have good Turkish neighbours..was round at theres this afternoon..and have some meat for a stew tomorrow.
