The other red meat
Okay... this is annoying. I've been trying to track down a source for kosher goat meat. Why should that be a problem? Kosher beef, easy. Kosher lamb, almost as easy. I can even find kosher elk and kosher venison. But goat is elusive.
When the Temple is standing, we offer goats and sheep and cows... but only sheep and cows seem to be available as kosher meats these days.
So far, I've managed to find one wholesaler (in New York!) that carries some packaged goat from Minnesota, or South Dakota, or somewhere around there. They're closed for the day, but I'm going to be trying to get ahold of them tomorrow to find out if they sell it to anyone outside of the NY area.
Why is lamb so easy to obtain, and goat so nearly impossible?
