Goat

Yes, Goat meat.  It's what was for dinner tonight.  Goat shanks, to be exact.  A lot like lamb shanks in texture and flavor, but a bit sweeter, a bit leaner, and overall, maybe even better.  Or at least, different.  We cooked them in a long low braise, a Jamaican curry.  That meant curry powder, some jerk powder, a ton of allspice, some coconut milk, thyme, honey, and of course, some hot pepper.  It came out remarkably well, paired with fingerling potatoes and Christmas Lima beans.  Yummy.  I want to cook more goat.
