Goat meat, or chevon, as it is commonly called, is a staple food in many parts of the world, as well as being traditional festive fare. With the growing diversity of cultures in the western world, demand for chevon is on the rise. A lean red meat, chevon also appeals to health-conscious consumers, as well as to the gourmand with an interest in ethnic cuisine. Although often likened to venison or lamb, chevon has a flavour all its own!
