BABY GOAT MEAT: FOOD OF THE FUTURE?

BABY GOAT MEAT: FOOD OF THE FUTURE?

ALICE, Tex. (Wireless Flash) -- The term "getting your goat" may have new meaning in the future if a home economist in Texas has her way. Nora Acevedo of Texas A&M University predicts that "cabrito" -- Spanish for baby goat meat -- will soon become a worldwide food craze. It's already big in Latin America, where grilling is the most popular way to cook cabrito. The meat reportedly tastes great and is described as being leaner than chicken or turkey. Although Acevedo admits most Americans aren't thrilled at the idea of eating a baby goat, she says other nations including Russia and Canada are warming up to the idea.
