What fleet footed and majestic creatures!

Milking goats is overrated. I've milked enough of them to populate several fields, by hand and machine. Goats are wonderful creatures, sincerely. But their cheese smells and tastes like the inside of a sweaty armpit. I'll pass.

This begs the question, How is it that you know what the inside of a smelly arm pit tastes like?

LOL! I should have said tastes like what I imagine a smelly armpit tastes like.

Ha! I can picture certain people trying to lick their own sweaty armpit right now.

Didn't any of you guys play Twister with the girl down the street?

Same here. Goats prefer bitter flavors over sweet, and many weeds will make goats milk smell funny, or even taste funny. Doesn't make their meat smell funny, though - and I've had lots of them on my plate.

Goat has just got to be the best curry!

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

I prefer sheep milk cheeses generally, but just last weekend I enjoyed a tasty Camembert-style cheese made from goat milk. I don't think I've ever eaten goat. Although it's possible that my mom sneaked some on the table without telling us kids. She wasn't above such trickery.

wait a tick, what is feta then? i thought it was goat cheese.
olives, pepper, balsamic, onions, feta, tomato, cucumber, pepperoncini, oregano.....mm thats a greek salad heaven. i don't eat goat or sheep meat though, unless it may or may not be in my occasional gyro.
i was offered bull cheese once, didn't try it

When I first got here I missed the point of contributing to the OLF. I thought paying to get the classifieds was a bit of ( in my words that day ) a Ripoff....

I have often been sorry for that statement....
This place has been good for me in so many ways.

Thanks to those who contribute not only in money but more so in sharing ideas.

Maybe if someone gets 20 thank you's that could be equal a contribution enough to get their badge of honor.

For me donations don't feel like a waste of money because that is all I have to donate... My knowledge is way too limited.

Lower in fat than beef, and more protein than chicken.
Some folks describe it as sweet venison.

I've eaten goat burgers, goat roasts, goat steaks, BBQ goat - you name it. ALL DELICIOUS!

Worldwide, I understand that more goat is eaten than any other meat.

Feta is sheep's milk cheese, iirc.

I had goat chops and a goat sausage at a restaurant in Seattle a few weeks ago. My first thought was that it is closest to lamb. Quite tasty.

Goat is the fruit of the farm. You can bar-b-que it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's goat kabobs, Goat creole, goat gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. Pineapple goat, lemon goat, coconut goat, pepper goat, goat soup, goat stew, goat salad, goat and potatoes, goat burger, goat sandwich, curried goat, and umm...thats about it.

I refrained from posting a picture...

"Mannish water" makes me think of the bath water after a man bathes. Do not want.

Have you ever tried it? I didn't find it to be any more of an aphrodisiac than the rum. And those aren't noodle in the soup. Ewwwwww!

This is some funny ****I love Forest Gump and considering i'm going shrimping in Beaufort SC this weekend, this post was PERFECT!
Keep um coming.

And on another note, for the love of Pete pony up some money for the site. I can't imagine the amount of time, effort and expense that Lance has put into this place (which is by far the premier luthier site on the web). This site should be AT BARE MINIMUM self sustaining monetarily. If it takes $10-15 buck a year to keep that happening then so be it. I could not put a price on the information I have gotten from this forum. The wealth of information on this site is like the library of congress for luthiers. I am one person who appreciates the effort and expense that has been sacrificed in order to open and continue running a site like this. I also appreciate all you "Old Growth Brazilian" guys from whom I get much of this knowledge from. I hope to someday be able to contribute in that way as well.

If this is what passes for chastisement around here it's a wonder anyone in this place can get along. Heaven help us all.
