Where To Eat Goats...And Why

Where To Eat Goats...And Why

Forget yesteryear's pork belly, suckling pigs, or even duck-themed tasting menus: 2012 is the year of the goat (including the ones eating pizza right now). Technically, 2012 is the year of the Water Dragon, but with dragon meat currently unavailable, it was only a matter of time before the humble goat stepped into the center ring of the food fad circus. Beats hearing about bacon, anyway. more ›

Spotted: Goat Eating Pizza In Midtown Restaurant

So a guy, a girl, and a goat walk into a Midtown pizza joint and order some slices... and proceed to eat those slices at a table... with the goat, and no one seems to care?

Are Goats Wandering By Hutch Escaping From Santeria Sacrifices?

When we reported Tuesday that a fourth sick, emaciated goat had been found wandering in the area of Pelham Bay Park near the Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx, one commenter provided a possible explanation for the mystery: "These goats aren't 'escaping' from anywhere. they're the victims of Santeria sacrifice that regularly takes place in Pelham Bay Park."

Goats Wander Onto N.E. Thruway

Perhaps taking a cue from the chicken that was on the loose in Queens, today's weird report over the police wires is that two goats are on the New England Thruway. More specifically, they are on the southbound NE Thruway at the split to the Hutchinson Parkway—there's a highway unit "trying to herd them off the road." Pressing question: Was there a third goat involved and were they looking for a bridge with a troll under it? And last year, a pygmy goat escaped a slaughterhouse and was wandering the Bronx before being taken to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY. more ›
