It taste's like Goat. Seriously though it is like no other meat you may have eaten. The nearest I could get to an example would be if you took lamb and then try to imagine that taste ten times stronger you would be near the mark. I love it, not to mention good strong Goats cheese.

Getting back on track, i would say it tastes like lamb but much stronger. We tried it many years ago in a remote restaurant which used almond shells as fuel for the oven and barbecue, of course this had an effect on the flavour.

baby Goat
I had this in Zarzales restaurant and it tastes is quite delicate, unlike mature goat which has a strong flavour. As in lamb the the older the animal the stronger the flavour.

I agree, suckling lamb tastes even more delicate and the same goes for suckling pig.

We had goat many times in India where it is described as mutton.(different to our understanding of mutton). It does have a strong flavour and as you
might expect it is rather tough. It is not to my liking.
Why then did we have it many times? Simple reason - there was nothing else available, and I mean nothing!
India was not one of our gastronomic successes.

We had it a few times in Portugal and it did taste quite strong like mutton
I m sure if it as suckling pig it will be much more delecate

Ah Rabbit, Now we're talking. If you are going to try it may I suggest Celler La Parra. Cooked in Garlic and parsley, Hmmm, to die for and you won't need much "doe" on you for the bill. (sorry, could not resist that last bit)

I have had goat in Madeira and thought it was more like a cross between chicken and pork. it was in a traditional dish like a casserole and was lovely and not strong at all. It must depend on how old it is and how long it is cooked to get such differing opinions on what it tastes like.

I love goat. It's really full flavoured - as others have said, similar to mutton (if that's any help). Of course, if it's young goat, then it's going to have a much milder flavour, more like lamb. In restaurants, you're most likely to come across it as a leg shank - it'll be braised for a long time and then finished off with a quick roast to heat it through when someone orders it
The only place in the area I can think of that has it as a standard menu item (as opposed to occasional specials) is La Fonda in Pollensa town. They also have a few other less common Mallorcan dishes available - the escaldums were pretty decent last trip.

young goat
young goat is available at Zalzales near La Gola in PP, and very nice it is too, a delicate flavor wonderfully cooked.
