Goat for goat stew

I second Haymarket area - Puritan Beef Co. 90 Blackstone St. My Jamaican coworker buys her goat there. I've tried a sample of her cooking and it's delish.

Market Basket in Chelsea should have it

There are 3 Haymarket vendors with goat. They have the widest choice, but tend to higher prices (worth it, says I) Save A Lot, America's Food Basket always has it. Price Rite often does. The latter two tend to the very bony cuts; in fairness though goat meat tends to be bony and Caribbean folk enjoy sucking on the bone.

If you are nice to the Blackstone Street halal guys, they can sell you meatier cuts, at a premium. The bony standard is fine for goat stews. Those are our family favorite.

Expect to pay $6 or more per pound.

Oh, and at Food Basket, there's often a $3 or $4 a pound "mutton." In reality, that is a fattier goat in the packages there, but perfectly good for for stews and slow stir fries.It requires some skimming but is very flavorful.

He's the G.O.A.T.

Wegmans?

(not the Chestnut Hill one)

Pier Fish Co in Newmarket has also carried goat in their freezer.

I often see meat in the grocery store labeled "Cut Up Goat", yet I never see "Cut Up Cow" or "Cut Up Chicken".

Is there something particular about "cut up" goat that doesn't apply to other animals? Otherwise, I it just makes me think of a goat that's good at telling jokes.
