Hi all, nothing to add regarding assofeetawotsit but as there appear to be a few curry experts here, I am asking for a pointer or two towards cooking a curry with goat. That is _ a goat curry recipe. I havent got a goat beside me ! Anyway I am getting some tomorrow because I agreed with a friend, over a pint, that I would like to try it. I imagine you could simply substitute it for lamb or mutton but any help would be appreciated.

It's lovely, like strong lamb IMO.

Thanks Mum, I've bookmarked that one. 4 hrs cooking, Bit tough otherwise I guess

Slow cooker it.  Thats what all our Jamacian friends do.  And it's never Goat curry- always refered to as Curried Goat.  Always served with rice n'peas (cook rice in coconut milk, add a tin of red kidney beans inc liquid and some thyme) salad & coleslaw.

You can get goat in our local ethnic deli with a number of interesting animal body parts- chicken feet, gizzards etc    also cows foot.  It's £3 for one    you have to cook THAT for ages

I wish we had a deli like that. Not that I'm craving cows foot or anything, but .....

Also, I do like the idea of cooking rice in coconut milk to go with the curry

When I had goat curry it was served with what my friends called rice n peas, which were beans, but didn't have coconut milk in 

It was just rice, black-eyed beans and onions - often drizzled with tabasco or hot pepper sauce

Curried Goat! apparently so I'm told and me bestie mate is Jamaican   
Yup peas= black-eye beans or kidney beans

West Indian parents here sometimes use hot pepper sauce on little kids tongues if they are rude.... like 'wash your mouth out with soap' but not

Is that where Jamie Oliver got it from...?   

Love curried goat, used to have it loads when I worked in Hackney. Definitely agree it needs to be cooked low and slow.

I've had goat in Turkey but it was young so no long cooking required. 

Curried goat sounds good    Hugh Fernley W did a piece on it on one of his progammes when he visited a famous maker of it in Birmingham. He didn't get his secret recipe though
