The Kid id Alright
FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS, the central Texas town of Brady has staged the World Championship Barbeque Goat Cook-off on Labor Day weekend. Cabrito is a delicacy that has its ardent admirers--and many detractors. To those who have failed to see the merit in a crunchy yet tender piece of goat meat, the blame must be placed squarely on the way it's been cooked and on the fact that the goat you got probably wasn't a ten-to-eighteen-pound, suckling kid slaughtered at thirty to forty days of age. Older goat is often passed off as cabrito, but once they start browsing on grass, goats develop an unmistakable mutton flavor. They are also tough. The best time to get real cabrito is May through October. After October, you should be skeptical.
Cooking your own cabrito can be real simple--if you want to dig a hole in your backyard, as purists insist. All you need is a three-foot-deep pit with a mesquite or oak fire raging in it. Wrap a skinned cabrito in a gunnysack bound with wire and set the meat in the pit. Cover it with dirt to seal in the heat and let it cook all day. The cabrito will be smoke-seasoned and tender by nightfall. Apartment-dwellers might want to opt for the kitchen method of cooking cabrito: place half a cabrito in a roasting pan with salt, pepper, and two or three onions and baste with hot lard or shortening. Cook for an hour and 45 minutes in a 375-degree oven, turning every twenty minutes or so. Sure beats having to dig up the back yard.
Teresa L. Keese, executive vice-president of the Brady/McCulloch County Chamber of Commerce sent us this recipe after the most recent goat cook-off in Brady. "The winners from the 1996 contest were not willing to divulge their recipe secrets to us," she writes, "but we were able to go back and get this previous winner's recipe." We are honored to have Barney McBee's recipe for goat sauce, and hope that you enjoy it too.

Cabrito is good, different in taste from the larger goat but when handled like lamb, it's superb. Bard it with garlic slivers and use an olive oil and herb rub. Serve it sliced thin with warm bread or pitas, a nice crisp green salad and tomatoes. Good, rich (no lite), cold beer or a glass of cold chablis will finish it all off. 0 -

Cabrito sounds tasty. Birria is whole goat, roast on a spit.
Is that before or after Osama romances it?0 -
I had a goat that I couldn't catch, so I let Darren shoot it.

"Prairie Goat"
Can be delicious, but the preparation of it begins with shot placement, then it gets tricky. You gotta get the hide off and get the meat washed immediately. Like, within minutes of it hitting the ground. Ain't no time for doinkin' around with that type of goat.
Still, the last pronghorn I had was marinated in mesquite stuff all day, then grilled over coals.
MMMMMMmmmmmm.

Not sure what you call it cooked that way, but Birria is goat stew.0 -

The car I bought when I became unindentured to the Army of Uncle Sam in 1970.
Ram Air IV, 4 speed and 3.91 gears.
That car is worth over $125K now, I sold her for $1,600. [:(]
