> P.S.: As an interesting related side note, there are a lot of cooking recipes for old goat in Portugal (the meat needs to be cooked differently). I'd love to get hold of some, it'd be good for cooking chamois and tahr in my country. Fun fact, goat is the most widely eaten meat in the world.

    most widely eaten != most eaten by weight The article does not disprove the (somewhat vaguely) stated hypothesis.

'Chanfana de Cabra' or 'Chanfana de Borrego' is probably the most famous recipe as wdata pointed out. I am not sure there are a lot of recipes for this type of meat as it is claimed. Mostly it is either slow roasted in an oven or slow cooked in a stew with some variations on stew ingredients. The main difference is in the longer cooking time and in preparing the meat. Traditionally people remove the lymph nodes from certain areas under the legs and some of the nearby fat tissue. Otherwis this tissue will give a really unpleasant taste/smell to the cooked meat.

  You are right, there are only an handful of dishes using old goat meat. I was under the impression (my personal take) that there are quite a few different ways to prepare them though, although the end result (the dish itself) is similar.
