An interesting price comparison: Dave says goat at his local Price Choppers in the USA, cost $2.79 per lb. Applying currency conversion rates as of about now, and converting that to kilos, that means I should expect to pay about $6.77/kg for goat meat here in Australia. Since even poor cuts of beef cost about $6/kg at my local fruit veg and butcher co-op (and they are at the low end for prices believe me!) that would make goat a really good alternative meat for me. Only problem is that the last time I looked at goat meat in a butcher's store, it was nearer $16/kg. And I can't imagine that prices have dropped since then.
Oh - and the real kicker? Regarding that super economical goat meat that Mr Dave can get at about one thrid the cost I can get goat meat here? It comes from here in the first place!
