Goat meat
Goat meat is the flesh of domestic goats used as food. It is called chevon in some markets and cabrito when referring especially to young goat.
Cabrito: Cabrito is meat from a young goat, commonly prepared by roasting or grilling. It is a celebrated young-goat preparation in parts of Mexico and Spain.
Goat: A goat is a ruminant mammal in the genus Capra, domesticated for meat, milk, fiber, and hides. Domestic goats are the animals from which goat meat is obtained.
Lamb and mutton: Lamb is meat from young sheep; mutton is meat from mature sheep. Sheep meat is the closest common culinary comparison for goat.
Goat domestication: Goat domestication is the process by which humans brought wild goats under management, beginning in Southwest Asia. Domestic herds made goats a dependable source of meat and other products.
Pastoralism: Pastoralism is a livelihood based on raising and moving livestock for food and other resources. Goats provide meat in herding systems adapted to dry and rugged environments.
Birria: Birria is a Mexican stew or braise, traditionally made with goat or mutton and seasoned with chilies and spices. Goat is a traditional meat for this slow-cooked regional dish.
Chevon: Chevon is meat from an adult goat, a term used especially in commercial and culinary contexts. The term distinguishes adult goat meat from young-goat cabrito in some usage.
Beef: Beef is meat from cattle, particularly adult cattle. Comparing beef with goat highlights differences in fat, flavor, and customary cuts.
Neolithic Revolution: The Neolithic Revolution was the shift in many societies toward farming and settled life. Livestock keeping and regular meat production expanded with the adoption of agriculture.
