What a wonderful surprise today at Costco, $13.89 for a full bodied.
scrumptious wine with a nice tannic finish. We ate it with the de rigeur
rotisserie chicken from Costco, but it could easily do duty with a rack of
lamb. Unless I find this cheaper elsewhere it has moved up on my scaleto
buy all you can, now.
I like Rhone wine, but can't usually really afford (or want to afford as I
could a few years ago when a local store was closing out 1990 Hermitage and
I was buying everything in sight) a steady diet of the better northerns but
this wine is one clone that stands out in its own right. (normally I drink
Rhone clones and immediately go backto the real thing, here the clone is
the real deal)
Goat Roti oh yeah Baby!

Wife recently emptied Costco's of an extended radius from our house. We
had our first bottle with rack of lamb and it was magnificent.

I opened this post expecting to read about possible pairings for the
wonderful West Indian dish. Sort of a curry pie or patty in Grenada, or
curried meats in a crepe or a wrap in other WI's.
Does make me wonder how a goat roti would go with ... a goat roti.

Hmm, I was underwhelmed by goat roti. On the other hand the conch roti we
had in the Grenadines was truly memorable (the proof is that I remember it)
as was the chicken Roti I had in St Lucia, though that was more memorable
for the proportion of bone to meat. However, in fairness I must say that
goat roti was better than the goat curry we tried in Saba, and much better
than the goat colombo we had in St Martin. I've come to the conclusion that
goats are not my favourite domestic animal. The milk tastes of goat, the
meat tastes of goat and the whole area where they live stinks. They escape
and eat my vegetables and I don't even like goat cheese. (Though the one we
had in Turin made in the UK was an honourable exception - not enough to
justify goats, but at least it eas edible).

IMO, the Goat Roti is a bit better of the two.

There's now a 'Goats do Roam in Villages' as well as the basic 'Goats do
Roam'

Your goaty predjudice aside, Ian, the key seems to be to eat "kid" rather than
"goat", just as most prefer "lamb" to "mutton."
Last year I was served a rack of kid, simply roasted with potatoes. It was
excellent, a bit gamey, but then I like that. In fact that evening I had brought
a northern Rhone syrah which my hosts saw fit to open, with good effect as
I recall.

Prejudices, Emery? PREJUDICES? As you will have seen from the WIDE variety
of goat dishes to which I referred, I was meticulous in my _refusal_ to be
prejudiced. After all, x million west indians can't be wrong. Well, having
tasted a catholic selection of West Indian goat dishes, I have to say that x
million West Indians CAN be wrong. I rate it last in the "meats I have
tried" chart. Now if you were to say that I have anti horse prejudices, I
would be forced to agree. I've often had the opportunity and never availed
myself of them. THAT'S prejudice. Disliking goat is bitter experience backed
up by the inimitable pong of hot bouc wafting through my study window as I
type this missive.
I agree that kid is milder, but it's still goat you know.
>Last year I was served a rack of kid, simply roasted with potatoes. It was

I love gamey meat, in fact I nearly drove off the road a couple of days ago,
trying to run down Mrs Hare and son, on the way up to St Bonnet Elvert. She
took to the hills, with my car in hot pursuit. It was only Jacquie's
pointing out that we had all our meals planned for the next three weeks that
reprieved them. So I have no probs at all with gamey meat. But I'm afraid I
still find kid a paler version of goat with the added disadvantage of a
gloppy texture. (don't take all this TOO seriously. Emery, I just enjoy a
good rant from time to time).

Kid rotie in fact. No frenchman ever serves a goat Rotie at it's full 20 yo
glory. (snigger).

With tongue still firmly planted in cheek, I will merely point out that your
logic is flawlessly inductive. :)

One of those drivers, eh? Last year I stopped by at a friends house, in the courtyard
the dogs were riddling something mysterious, which on inspection turned out to be
a boar's foot. Inside, the diningroom table had been converted with a huge board
to a butchery for the animal. It was not even hunting season -- not that you're allowed
to do your own butchery anyway -- so I asked; it turned out to be road kill. Apparently
Benoit had stopped at an accident, seen the beast that caused it not unduly damaged,
and promptly absconded with the goods. I was shocked of course, but not so much
that I was unwilling to put a few kilos of stew meat in the freezer. It was good, too!
As for gloppy texture, my experience may be more limited, but it doesn't agree with
that. (Not to worry about the rant, it adds a little spice to the discussion :))

Snigger indeed. In fact I can't recall whether it was a CR or Hermitage that I brought,
more's the pity!
