What happened to the meat? Seriously.

Where's the beef???

Sometimes it is deliberate and driven by consumers. Remember how Red Delicious apples became bland and mealy because consumers wanted pure red apples? And then marbling in steaks became a health scare. For lean cuts with a lot of flavor I like skirt steals or flank steaks. Or better yet, I buy bison when I can, but it is so lean it is like venison where you need to cook it low and slow.

I occasionally buy goat meat from the local butcher. It has to be braised low and slow like other tough meats. Goat is the most commonly eaten meat in the world and quite delicious if cooked correctly.

Goat meat aka chevon is delicious. I haven't had it in years but to me it's somewhat like a cross between beef and pork.

I've had kabritu stobá in Bonaire and enjoyed it.

I have not noticed a decline in the meat quality where I do my grocery shopping, but the prices have definitely increased this year.

Goat meat is common in the Middle East and surrounding Muslim areas. It is conducive to the preservation methods used by Jews and Muslims (especially the salting regimen used by Jews) so it is widely eaten there. Goats are actually far more environmentally friendly than cows, and goats and sheep could replace much of America's beef consumption without the health problems experienced by vegans who are worried about the heavy environmental costs commonly associated with meat in the US and Europe. I wish that goat meat was more widely sold here, in Sacramento it's mainly Muslim immigrants who eat it.
