19. Your nose is telling you something - the meat is bad

Don't eat it, don't feed it to the dog, throw it away. Your senses are telling you something. You always want a clean smell in raw food, even it is a strong smell, it is still a clean smell. Same for touch, taste and sight. If it feels mushy when it should be crisp, it is bad, it the taste is off, don't eat, if it does not look fresh, don't buy it. I have eaten a lot goat and lots of game meat such as deer, moose and caribou. Some if this meat will be strong, but it still will have a clean smell and taste to it. I would have taken the meat back to the grocer and asked for my money back

About the worst thing I ever cooked was wild ptarmigan that my husband had shot up north of Fairbanks, this was years ago when we lived in Alaska. The birds had been feeding on blueberries and flesh was a purple color, very weird taste, even my husband couldn't eat them. The little spruce hens were a different matter. When they'd been eating low bush cranberries, the meat was a pale pink and had a slight taste of the cranberries. Delicious.

Anyone remember the children's story of the Billy Goat Gruff that lived under a bridge and ate up all the children that crossed it ?

I think you have the plot of that story incredibly scrambled in your Vestaramic memory module.

Not that I find this particularly surprising...

Goat meat just stinks. Their sweat glands and pores disgorge under the skin, and add in adrenalin, well that makes for some of the foulest meat out there, next to camel.
