I have had goat on a spit. Delicious

 

[Hallatia]

in that case, I am having spit roasted goat at my next barbecue.
Will I have to find a special butcher? Everyone does lamb, but I am not even sure if my guy does goat meat, I am sure I can ask though.

 

[Bazal]

Ask them. Most good butchers can get it for you, or will tell you who can

 

[Hallatia]

I wonder if my butcher's good ... He always gives us bigger lambs than we ask for.

We ask for a 15 to 18 kilo lamb and he always gives us 20 to 25. They do charge you less per kilo for the larger ones, but I don't like having leftovers. Some people still eat and love meat done on the spit over a week later but I can't do it. Will still eat it up to 3 days later, but after that I really don't like it.

 

[Bazal]

25 is almost hoggett I think...which is awesome, I prefer hoggett to lamb...it has more flavour, but not as strong or tough as mutton

 

[Hallatia]

it's great the day you cook it, but the smokiness from the spit does something to it over time and I find the reaction unpleasant.

But, how amazing is back strap?

 

[Jason Maher]

I wonder if you tallied all the pea hearts in this Australian team together, could you come up with one full-sized heart?

 

[Bazal]

Back strap is awesome, I can do a thousand things with it. But even though I love a nice rare backstrap, I like shanks and shoulder the most, I think.

 

[Hallatia]

shoulder is freaking amazing too, I didn't know lamb had shoulders, but boy am I grateful for the meat there.

 

[Bazal]

Shoulder is the best for lamb stews tbh, it has a nice amount of fat and can cook for hours

 

[McLovin]

you don't merely eat a goat...you make sweet sweet love to it..

 

[Hallatia]

you would.

 

[Bazal]

So because of this I walked down and got a lamb kebab. f**k you all lol

 

[Hallatia]

you should be thanking us. I wish there was a kebab shop in night walking distance of my house

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

f**k sake straya you dumb kents

 

[Skinner]

25 is almost hoggett I think...which is awesome, I prefer hoggett to lamb...it has more flavour, but not as strong or tough as mutton

This x 25 million. I really would kill for some hogget. I just can't seem to find it.

 

[Monk]

This 'working every day' thing is killing me.

 

[Twizzle]

nice overcast day for cricket today

I'm due to make a few

 

[Hallatia]

it's very bright and sunny here and we have an afternoon T20, I hope my girls can rack up a decent total today. I can't see us getting them out too cheaply, so we'll need to make some runs.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Ew goats, goat's cheese tastes like vomit.
