Goat chops because of the Cubs?

[smokinadam]

Local butcher shop keeps having goat chops the last few weeks... here in WI I never had it nor would think of it... told my cub fans they are getting them smoked if they win.

I never cooked any, but I have eaten goat.

It wasn't bad at all.

I may look some up and try cooking it.

Don't know if there are any special rules to follow.

I would think like it's venison.

Have fun.

I've had smoked goat leg. It's actually really good. Kinda tastes like a cross between lamb and dark meat turkey. Takes smoke really well and is quite tender. I didn't cook it, had it several times in a restaurant, so can't really advise on how to prep it, but I'm thinking a brine wouldn't hurt as it's really lean. The place I had it was a Tex-mex place, so the rub was heavy on cumin and fairly spicy, and it went really well with the meat.
I say go for it. If the curse of the Billy Goat has, in fact, been lifted, I think it's time to eat the little bastard!!

Search "cabrito", and there's oodles of recipes--very popular in Mexican and Latin American cooking. I've had ribs that were marinated in milk, then rubbed and smoked: outstanding.
