I believe that its is widely eatern world wide.Greeks even make feta cheese from goats milk.In Africa it is also eatern.The taste of goat meat, called chevon, is said to be similar to veal or venison, depending on the age of the goat. It can be prepared in a variety of ways including stewed, baked, grilled, barbecued, minced, canned, or made into sausage. It is also healthier than mutton as it is lower in fat and cholesterol and comparable to chicken. It is quite popular in the Middle East, South Asia, and in Africa, though less so in the United States.
Other parts of the of the goat including organs are also equally edible. Special delicacies include the brain and liver. The head and legs of the goat are also smoked and used to prepare unique spicy dishes.

Its no different to eating cow or sheep, (im a white english person) i eat it alot as its very low in fat and cholesterol. It taste kinda between pork and beef. It can be tough so its nice used in stews etc where its cooked slowly for a long time. If you see Capretto in an italian butchers, thats goat

Yea, went to a quince ( Mexican traditional sweet 15 b-day party)once, and they were serving up goat. Didn't eat it though. Not frowned upon but grossed out, in my opinion.

Goats are just as edible as anything else. It's just not that popular a food item in the West.
I think that it's served alot in Africa, The Middle East and Asia. Of course, I could be wrong.

People from diffrent cultures eat goats, and all sorts of other animals. It is widely accepted depending on where you are from. It is not uncommon.

yes people do eat goats. i personally do. there is nothing to frowned upon. just like pig, or cow, some people love them, but some hate them. it is just a matter of acquiring the taste. anyway, one man's meat is another man's poison.
