Ed's Review
Of goats, goat cheese, and goatees...
Goats are back. Sure they've been man's second best friend for thousands of years, but these days goats are making headlines. There are goat meat restaurants, goat ice cream shops, and even goat milk skin care regimens. And of course, there's the newly popular goatee (which I recommend if you want to look like Abe Lincoln).
As for delicious goat cheese, like cow's milk cheese, it comes in all sorts of tastes, textures, and firmness. Perhaps the most famous is the creamy, smooth version is often seen atop salads, toasts and so many other dishes. Believe me, a few dollops of it mixed into spaghetti with cherry tomatoes is enough to make any goat jump over the moon.
Buon Appetito!
