I think goat falls in the food category where it's an acquired taste, as with many ethnic foods.

My first encounter eating goat was not as pleasant as I thought it was going to be.  The dish looked really good and I don't re-call any particular unpleasant smell, but the taste was gamey, something I'm pretty sure I could get used to, but that was my first impression.

My filipino co-worker who offered me the food told me to stop if I didn't like it, but I continued to eat it, out of respect for food and my co-worker.

I always thought goat was primarily something filipinos eat but I was surprised that goat is very popular in certain areas of the U.S.  They have BBQ tournaments and Festivals where they feature different goat dishes.

Re.smoked goat....it was really salty. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure is up now.
 

Cool weather nowadays.
Ramen sounds good!

Is this for real?  If it is, maybe I'd like to try a Snickers flavor one.

But I'm having a hard time imagining what the broth would taste like, LOL.

Somebody needs to consult a calendar!

Oh sh*t!!  I completely forgot......

Got this at the gun show.
Thin crispy style venison jerky.
It's OK, but I think it could use more salt.

The dotter shipped these pretzels from Germany.
It's really salty and dry. It requires something to accompany it when you eat it.

I plan to cook this on the weekend

Tocino Spam
I just scored 4 cans from Longs.
They hide it behind the cashier.

I like try this.  Never saw it before.  I going ask the cashier.

Everytime we go Vegas I eat the Filipino breakfast at the Cal Market St. Cafe.  It has tocino sausage, 2 eggs whichever way you like, and rice.  They add garlic chips or sprinkles or whatever that crap is.

Ono and they give plenty.  My bet is this breakfast is as healthy as pure lard.

This is a simple and easy recipe for canned corned beef with potatos. The caraway seeds are optional.

I'm a busy man  so I half nuke the potatoes to escape the "2-3 minutes into the future"

I cook lots of dishes with canned spam, corned beef, and tuna.

Not because I cannot afford better things (pretty soon we all no can) but because I really like the dishes you can make with these things.  By the way, these 3 items USED to be cheap, LOL.!

The most simple but ono dish I really like is basically just canned tuna with onions.  I cook the onions only to the point where they juuuussst start to wilt.  Still get crunch to them.  I cook the onions in the oil of the canned tuna.  Then I just throw the tuna in the pan to heat it up.

Eat with hot rice and shoyu.  That's all I need......

My daughter is a chef in Europe. She calls me almost every week. I told her about this spam and she said she saw it there and wanted to try to make something with it.

    Couple of the cheapest fast meals I know are . . .
Tuna, peas, macaroni & cheese. Talk about a cheap tuna casserole.
My kids loved it when they were younger, basically because it was easy for them to help make.

  Egg Foo Yung is also fast, cheap  and easy (just like how some of you like it  ).
Couple of eggs, bean sprouts, little chopped cabbage and carrots (or just buy the package of chop suey mix for a couple bucks), and add leftover chicken, pork or a couple shrimp.
Sauce is just diluted and thickened Oyster sauce.
Add a pot of rice and you have dinner and maybe breakfast.

    Then of course there's corned beef and cabbage though corned beef ain't so cheap any more. 

These were time saving life-savers as a single parent. 

I've been buying pineapple sausage from Costco.  I take it for potluck parties because it's unusual.  Everyone likes it. I like it. My Dawgs like it.
