Apart from online, and Halal shops, where can i buy goat meat?
Going to shaka zulu in Camden I have had a lot of meat. Crocodile, zebra, elk among others.Never tried it. Strangest meat experience was at La Vanille nature reserve in Mauritius (The Restaurant - La Vanille Réserve des Mascareignes, Ile Maurice - Tortues, Crocodiles, Restaurant, Insectarium where I had crocodile. Tasted OK, but was a bit like visiting London Zoo then having a chimpburger at the cafe.
Mutton would have been a closer alternative if it that's what you were making.Anyway, i made my Jamaican Curry with beef in the end. It was lovely, but goat would have fantastic i think.
I know exactly where my meat comes from.....
However, going to see if any farm shops round here have any. Local butchers are only interested in goat, if you buy the whole thing!

My goodness, was in Kenya with a large group and we bought two goats for a spit roast, only thing was they were very much alive! Two volunteers from the group had to slaughter them, held the goats between their legs, lifted the head up and slit their throats.
It was absolutely horrific to witness and it was the noise more than anything that will stay with me but I guess it is good to really appreciate where our meat comes from.
Goat meat is a staple of the Caribbean/African/Asian areas in London and is available everywhere here in north London. Cooked properly it is tasty, especially Jamaican style, in curries/soups etc.
In east London (Ridley Road market, Dalston) you can buy fresh African giant land snails. Ugly big mothers that just look wrong to eat (See piccy below ) and that's not to mention the illegal bush meat that sometimes get past the HsE? in some of the African shops there.
