Goat Alert

I love Google Alerts, my only criticism would be that it should also suggest alerts you should be alerted to even though you weren’t aware you needed alerting. Let’s call it, ’semantic alerts’.
Fear of defamation and not vanity mean I subscribe to alerts of websites featuring the phrase ‘Adam Martin’.
So it was refreshing to see my name come up associated with goat meat, the so called ’soccer of meats’, an analogy which needs explaining to me please?
The full article is here and I urge you to read it, but some choice quotes include:
“It’s the No. 1 consumed meat in the world,” said Scott Hollis, a goat specialist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “It’s very popular - except here.”
While goat meat-burgers may not appear on the menu at McDonalds any time soon, we’re glad to see a more worldly, eco-friendly meat treat gaining popularity. A brief internal poll revealed MP staffers overall like the stuff in curries, Jamaican jerk-style, in burritos and whole on the bone. MP Chicago editor Adam Peltz remembered a particularly transcendent cut he ate in Lima: “…i got this amazing leg of kid — so succulent and flavorful for juvenile meat.”
I never want to hear the phrase ‘transcendent cut‘ nor ‘juvenile meat‘ again.
