For the record, I have never:
eaten goat
licked a goat
hugged a goat
kissed a goat
wrestled a goat
milked a goat
studied a goat
raised a goat
kicked a goat
shared a meal with a goat
exchanged conversational pleasantries with a goat
run away to Vegas with a goat
shared a jail cell with a goat
knocked back some homemade vanilla with a goat
Then why, on Sunday afternoon when we made a gourmet pizza that was topped with goat cheese, did I know exactly what a goat tastes and smells like? How do I now know what it would be like to do the above list of goatish things?
Do I like goat cheese?
To this I answer: BLA-A-A-A-HHHH! BLA-A-A-A-HHHH!
(does this lower my status in Foodie-ville?)

You'll eat kalamata olives, capers, coconut milk, sun-dried tomatoes & the such....but NOT goat cheese?!?
I AM surprised! :)
never had the nerve to try and thanks to you...i'll be deprived the rest of my life. thank you.
and congrats to your little man...eight...big deal. hope he looked dashing with his new cut.
Never tried it and I really never want to. At least you tried!
Don't mind goat cheese. We even had fresh (which means warm) goat milk on our corn flakes in Italy when our cousin offered it to us. Her neighbor milked her goat and brought the milk over. Sorry you didn't have a good goat cheese experience. But I admire your willingness to at least try it.
Whoa! Warm goat milk? You guys are troopers but I guess that's part of the cultural experience while visiting Italy, right? What a cool, quaint and charming way to spend breakfast. Great experience for your kids and a whole lot better than Pop Tarts (not that you serve your kids Pop Tarts).
My farmer husband has talked about getting a goat to put in the orchard in the back yard... and then milking the goat, and then turning that lovely goat milk into more lovely goat cheese...(can I tell you how excited I am about that idea??) And what kind of goat cheese did you have?? I've had some that was actually pretty good. (Maybe you should check out your goat!)
Megan, it was just goat cheese that I got at Smith's. It was really strong and really goaty and really farm tasting (dirty, pungent, animaly). Honestly, it tasted just like what you would think a goat tasted like. Maybe I need to give it another try someplace else. This stuff was nasty, however.
This is a gastronomical injustice of unfathomable proportion. You must have eaten *bad* goat cheese. It is my FAVORITE cheese. Even Jack and Henry make big heart signs with their fingers when they eat it. Yes, to be a true foodie you must love and savor the creamy heaven that is goat cheese. I'm calling Alysa to fix this...
P.S. I once buried a dead goat, and I still *LOVE* goat cheese. Get the "log" at Costco -- not Smith's.
Chadwick - I wanna hear the dead goat story.
Call us when you have the "log" from Costy-co...we'll bring the crackers and our open minds.
(But the picture of the goat on the package at Smith's was so adorable. How could she lead us astray?)
