Any recipes for goat's milk?We Answered:
We only had goats milk as children. (lived on a farm and had 40 of them)Anything you would use cows milk for you can use goats milk.
It is also the closest thing to human breast milk you can get.
( hope that doesn't gross you out )
May I suggest pancakes or smoothies, they would both disguise the taste for you.

I keep hearing people talk about curry goat. I would like to try it but where do I get the goat - any recipes?We Answered:
Where do you live? If your area includes Caribbean or northern Mexican or Portuguese or Basque communities fresh goat is usually available at nearby markets and supermarkets.However, not always. We live in Montréal, a place with good-sized Portuguese and Caribbean communities but in spite of all the goat farms (for milk to make Québec's wonderful goat cheeses) fresh goat is impossible to find unless (as one of our Jamaican family friends, living across town, does) you go to a farm and contract for a slaughtered animal. Only frozen goat is sold in a very few stores and it is not too good.
When we travel to Boston (about 4-6 times a year) we will pick up some fresh goat for ourselves and for our next door neighbours (also Jamaican).
As for making the dish it is really quite simple: trim some fat from the goat and render it in a large frying pan, then remove the crisped fat pieces. Cut the goat into pieces and flour it and sear it. When searings' done add some more flour and some water and make a gravy. Transfer to a large pot. Add the goat, then some more water
and cut up potatoes and some plaintain pieces and lots of cut up onions and a few cut up green peppers. Add lots of black pepper and lots of caribbean hot sauce and a few spoonsful of Jamaican curry powder (regular curry powder will do if you cannot find the Jamaican style) to taste (but the taste should be at least medium spicy). Cover and braise for a couple of hours, adding more water if gravy gets too thick.
Serve with rice (preferably yellow rice) accompanied by some ice cold Red Stripes.
