Goat feet are a tasty substitute for lard and other red meats due to their high protein and low cholesterol level. A common dish in many Halal cultures, including hearty afternoon curries and morning stews, is goat trotters. Burnt Although it has a gamey, smoky flavor, goat meat is often sweeter than other types of game meat. Although the flesh is relatively thin and healthful, there are still enough traces of fat for stewing to make it soft.
