As it says on the title.

Just out of curiosity I would love to find some goat meat. It is one of the most popular meats in the world but we can't get here. Well not anywhere I know

Standard answer for where can I get XXX foodstuff in Cork - try the English market - there's a specialty/game butchers shop in there. Failing that there is/was a halal butchers on the north main street , those would be my 2 guesses.

My First port of call was the market a week or two ago and I asked a butcher and he didn't know of anybody.

Anyway coincidence or what but on Newstalk this afternoon they was a caller asking the same question. Apparently they is a butcher in Moore street in cork that sells it. That's down around the South infirmary I think. Otherwise I will try the halal place.

Moore Street is behind the Mercy hospital.
I can't picture a butcher's there.

I tried to get goat meat in the city before. Couldn't find it anywhere, even the halal shops.

If you really need goat meat, you can get it in Waterford City. Spice World is the name of the place I think, halal shop.

It's very tough stuff though! You'd need to stew it for at least two hours.

It's not goat at all, but mutton. Might be better off asking for that.

It's Afro-Caribbean, and we don't. Curried goat is in fact mutton...

I just asked professor wikipedia and apparently goat meat is sometimes called mutton leading to a bit of confusion. Goat is the most widely consumed meat in the world, not by volume but the amount of people who eat it. You would think therefor it should be easy to get here

It's a dose of an animal to farm for meat though on any scale isn't it?... Aggressive.

Mutton is one of the tastiest meats you'll ever eat if it's cooked properly. Try that instead. Very close.

And you might want to reconsider sourcing halal meat. halal slaughter is banned for humane reasons in loads of European countries, having seen both methods, I'd like to see halal slaughter banned here too. Would not support it.

No I was talking of goats meat not mutton (ive had it stewed in Cuba wasn't bad either even though the food over there is bland), but the only place I know to get it is in Dublin and that's only in recent years..if you talk to a goat farmer, they don't like new borns been male as they are deemed economically worthless but with the arrival of migrants here there is now a very smallmarket for it. I thought with the variety of cultures in cork and our own expanding food ventures maybe someone might be selling it

No. They might tell you it's goat, but it's not. It's actually mutton as I say. Names are interchangeable in the West Indies. They will call sheep goats when in fact they're not.

not always it was actual goats meat we had it at the farm itself..... as for it in Ireland I remember now it was ear to the ground a few years back that did the feature on goats meat starting to be used over here.
