We are getting a goat killed in the next couple of days.
I know goat is very similar to sheep (have eaten it many times) so a lamb sausage recipe would do. Bu I was wondering if what recipes out there are traditionally made with goat

Also planning on making some black pudding.

(btw hi again, been away for a long time)

the sheep went to the right to salvation; the goats to the left to damnation. i would be surprised if there were any "traditional" goat suasage recipes, at least not many. :D

I am sure goat is eaten in plenty of places that needed to find someway of stretching some of the trimmings or smaller cuts.

Love goat, barbecued till almost burnt and then sprinkled with sesame seeds and red chilli - had it a couple of times in Uganda a few years ago, was being served in a bar as a snack. Goat or go hungry.....

I would suggest looking for recipes from countries that tend to have goats around, any country with a good goats cheese is bound to have a goat sausage. Seen a few references to hot italian, whether that is hot spicy or just warm I do not know.

Local goat keeper (ex sri lanka) in Wye, Kent, will sell you goat- if they have any left. ('Tis the season.) (Male kids.)

you sceptics. Goat is the most farmed and eaten animal in the world.
OK admittedly not in the UK, but nevertheless it is a gorgeous meat and as it is the animal of the poor lands, no doubt there are loads of goat sausage recipes around.ly not all written down.

Thanks for that johnfb. I use goat a lot. I can buy it easily in North London where my dad lives. A good jamaican curry goat is superb, I'll post my recipe in general cookery. I bought a whole shoulder last week for £10, much bigger than a shoulder of lamb, and a sweeter meat in my opinion.
I spent a lot of time in France where goats and goats cheese abound, but I have never seen goat for sale in the butchers there which surprises me, as the French seem to eat just about everything. What happens to all the goats I wonder? Perhaps Ianinfrance has an idea?

Cheers

Jen

A guy near me sells goat meat, mainly to the West Indian community. He also sells 'Billy Burgers' at a couple of Farmers' Markets.

your recipe does not count as it is for lamb or goat, lamb being preferred.
he asked for traditional goat recipes. i'm sure you can find anyting on the web. why, i even wonder if there is not a recipe for road kill sausage or python salami, but i don't have time to look. in any event, i interpret traditional to mean that which is indigenous and continuous to an ethnic enclave. with that definition, i wonder if there are many traditional goat sausage recipes. no one has posted one yet.
disclaimer: i was only having fun with the biblical allusion. personally, i enjoy goat, both in curries and in some mexican dishes. the only goat i do not enjoy is old goat, as found in some recent us presidential candidates. :D

I don't have time to look either...BUT I DID, in an effort to help out a poster...I didn't say that recipe was mine or one I had come up with, I simply said there were recipes on the web and gave this as an example (EG)

Maybe instead of being picky you should look for a recipe to help out, I am sure in the amount of time you took to publish your post you could have found a goat sausage recipe.

I think most of the north african merguez type sausages would tend to have been goat 'traditionally' as much as lamb, in fact often more so as the leaner meat was often mixed and cased to add a greater depth of flavour.

I killed a couple recently and they all went into these and some other berber type recipes.

Smoked goat is pretty special too :D

Is a traditional goat one that wears a fez?
