What should I make with this pile of diced goat? Not jerk/Jamaican curry. Has bones so not pie suitable.

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You could stew it to get the bones out then make pie.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I could, but expect to be coated in paint much of the day.

Slow cooked indian curry like this

Goat slaps when cooked and seasoned right.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That looks promising. Am def a cardamom fan.

'Sweetish' spices work really well with goat. Birria tacos use goat and cinnamon. You're going to feast like a medieval royal.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ha! Medieval cookery is actually a thing of mine. Some [ingredient], enough, until it be done. Fuck your scales & thermometers!

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, throw things into a pressure/slow cooker (or cauldron if at hand), let the ingredients dance and get to know each other and serve with crusty bread of some sort.

Quaff some ale or mead after for full effect.

google The Forme of Cury - lots of copies available online in various formats.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Form of is far from all there is, but it's physical is totally special

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'll need an email address. Or you could find some sort of access to EEBO yourself??

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'll check out EEBO (don't share my email online...personal policy).

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Very understandable. I'm sure the is a platform but I'm l more personally piratical than otherwise

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Yarr, me too
