Slowly cooked goat with thick macaroni - Getting back to the roots...

A delicious traditional recipe which can be found in various areas of Greece with minor differences from region to region. In the long past, goat used to be a common and rather popular type of meat. Later on, for some reason, it was rather forgotten from the majority of households especially in the big cities. The exception was when it came to "boiled goat" (a broth type of soup) or a few other 100% traditional recipes in some regions. The truth is that goat meat is quite tough because of the age of the animal and it needs plenty of slow cooking (in Greece, referring simply to "goat" we mean the older animal otherwise it is called "goat-kid" for the young ones which are more popular thanks to their tender meat) and maybe this was one of the reasons most people were put off... As I've mentioned before it seems that the Greeks have started going back to basics regarding some forgotten ingredients or recipes which for years were rather dismissed by most of us as "low" or "peasant class"... Who said that a crisis can only bring bad consequences??....
