Nowhere serving Curry Goat round your way then? Lovely, is goat. You need to get out more.MattFalle said:Goat
Widely eaten in many parts of the world but not Britain.

Yes, goat is very tasty.
I suppose they're probably better company than BoJo, Mogg or Sunak.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Valentino Rossi (loosely getting back to motorcycling again) is seen by many to be a GOAT. Would you eat him? Think carefully before responding

Turtle Bay in Exeter should serve Curry Goat. Waitrose sell diced goat and Google says there is something called Devon Meat Box Company.briantrumpet said:MattFalle said:

Why is this so?
This British person would quite happily eat goat, but never been offered it. I have seen a skinned one hung up in a farm shed though, so someone must have eated that.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Haha, thanks, they do!

not being pedantic but we don't tend to eat sheep as it is tougher than lamb. If we had a heritage of cooking food for several hours we would probably eat more mutton/goat0

Historically (according to AI's future memory) the Isle of Man national dish is boiled potatoes and herring.
So there you go.0 -
Goat is common in African / Carribbean quisine so it has made it to the UK. I'd happily eat it, especially curried but I don't think it's yet the meat of choice for the average daily Mail reader.MattFalle said:Goat

'Tis a problem for goat breeders. What to do with the boys? All the girls go off to become milkers, so the boys should logically go for meat but there is insufficient demand.
Same thing for dairy cattle really; industry trying to market the meat as rose veal but people seem reluctant to try it0 -
Olive tapenade. Can't find it anywhere at the moment.
Why?.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Outdoor veal is another one I'd happily eat. Better than wasting them, and good meat.0 -
Problem with goat farming is that goat herders always seem to compromise clandestine military operations.0

The Great Giacomo Agostini won countless world titles on the track, but also won 10 Tourist Trophies... at the time it was more common to race both... now things are more extreme and probably there is enough money in Moto GP, so pilots are not tempted to risk their lives on the roadleft the forum March 20230

No he didn't. Jesus wept.
Apparently. My Dad always used to (ex)claim it anyway.0 -
Last time I watched the TT it was still in the Isle of Man so what it is in English is what matters. Yes I am aware that they probably spoke Irish or Scottish once but not in the days of motor bikes.pinno said:

Carl Fogarty was a pretty good road racer, won the TT a few times as well as the NW200 alongside his day job in WSB.
I suspect the top boys in Moto GP are probably not allowed to race the TT, even if they wanted to.ugo.santalucia said:The Great Giacomo Agostini won countless world titles on the track, but also won 10 Tourist Trophies... at the time it was more common to race both... now things are more extreme and probably there is enough money in Moto GP, so pilots are not tempted to risk their lives on the road

The TT was actually part of what is MotoGP up until the mid 70s. It was only really a few years earlier that some riders stared missing it and after that the writing was on the wall.
It really was a different age in terms of attitude to risk in motorsport .[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -
Indeed.
