I've never had either. I've had lamb (rack of lamb) but never mutton or goat. I'm being taken to a restaurant and there seems to be a lot of mutton and goat dishes on the menu. A couple of chicken offerings but mostly mutton and goat. I assuming both are generally safe to eat. Am I going to dislike this? Or are these meats generally palatable despite not being very popular or available? Should I prefer one over the other if I'm ordering a dish for myself?

I had goat in Monterrey Mexico years ago. It was a little dry, and heavily spiced with knockout chilis. But I'm sure it's fine to eat. | |||

Barbecued cabrito is goat meat and it can be mighty good. The safety and flavor of any food is primarily related to the way it’s handled and prepared. | |||

BBQ goat is good. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Mutton is delicious! We had one BBQ that served it in town but they closed up shop years ago. Miss that place very much. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Lamb should be excellent. Mutton is not lamb. Not a fan of mutton, at all - but I’ve only had it in unprofessional conditions. Goat can be greasy, if not cooked properly. | |||

So, goat can be pretty good. Mutton is more hit or miss? I do like lamb but I hear mutton is not the same. Not a fan of gamey meat. I guess I'll opt for goat...

I really like lamb, but have not yet had mutton that I enjoyed. Lamb and mutton both come from sheep but there are differences: From what I hear, hair sheep make better lamb than wool sheep as they have less lanolin to affect the flavor. Wool sheep more likely to taste "gamey."

I have had goat Birria burritos in Los Angeles that was better than shredded roast beef. | |||

Never tried mutton, have had BBQ goat and enjoyed it. It reminded me a bit of lamb. | |||

I'd get one of the chicken offerings. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

find an old North African immigrant grandma who makes curried goat/mutton/ oxtails with rice and peas. traditional style. It's a culinary home cooking life changing experience. The root origins of what became Caribbean "soul food" mutton is often attributed more in the Middle East, Mediterranean, Turkish, India, Lebanonese area some of my favorite foods ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live today as if it may be your last and learn today as if you will live forever | |||

I’ve had curry goat cooked by Jamaicans and it was pretty damn good. Both goat and mutton are much more gamey/stronger flavor than a lot of Americans are used to. | |||

I had goat in Kenya, wasn’t a fan. It probably could have been a lot better if it had been “properly” butchered instead of just chopped randomly into ping pong ball sized hunks bone and all and then not overcooked to the point of zero moisture. Hard to enjoy a food when every chew has to be done cautiously looking for and spitting out bone fragments. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

Are you going to an Indian restaurant? Not that it matters. Here’s what I think: I’m assuming you like beef or steaks like I do. When we smell a steak especially when it’s seared, we salivate. We look forward to tasting it. It’s the same for those who like mutton. I am not fond of the taste of lamb or goat because I’m not used to it. When I eat lamb, I prefer not to taste the lamb. But when I eat steak, you bet I want to savor the flavor. It’s not like you have to gag, you can just eat it and not really ever have a craving for it. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Apparently it is an Indian / Indo-Chinese restaurant. Indian food with Chinese influences? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

I approach these things thinking which am I least likely to encounter again. That is then my choice. It’s one meal if I don’t like it? It’s but one meal in a lifetime of eating. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

I had goat cooked a couple different ways at a restaurant in Dubai many years ago. It was pretty good but I don’t recall it being anything very distinctive. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

I guy I knew from Ghana invited me to try some boiled goat, same style and still had fur on it. Barely made it home before I threw it up. I love lamb, goat and mutton but that crap was gross boiled. He and his family seemed to love it though. | |||
