mutton vs goat

how does the price of each compare please? i would like to make goat curry. is mutton v similar to goat?

Goat curry tastes much better than mutton, cooked + served on the bone is best a la traditional Caribean recipie

I believe mutton is old lamb, I mean when I say old, the lamb is killed at a later age making the meat a little tougher.
But they are both good, I personally buy goat meat and when you're in the shop, you cannot really tell what the butcher is selling you.
Are you making it the Jamaican way?

i have a recipe from www.carribeanfoodemporium.co.uk

it calls for goat, onions, spring onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, curry powder, hot peppers, oil, lime juice, boiling water, cocnut milk, butter, sugar and thyme.

but i have no idea if authentic jamaican style!

Sounds right.
Try to marinade the goat meat after washing it in lime juice with the curry powder.
When cooking, the lamb produces a lot of water, so you may not need to add a lot more.
Some people like theirs runny, but I like mine thick and coating the meat.
Good Luck.
