The Goat Guy

Many treats, visual and gustatory, await the inquisitive traveler when visiting the mercado. It was most interesting to watch this butcher prepare these goats for sale. One of my favorite indulgences in the markets, when I can find it, is a nice hot bowl of birria or a couple of birria tacos. Depending on what mercado one visits around Mexico, it's not uncommon to find vendor after vendor specializing in barbacoa. Goat happens to be a favorite of mine! It's different than beef or pork, probably more similar to lamb, but not so pungent as the more mature mutton. Birria is basically stewed meat with assorted spices and chilis that is slow cooked. Served either in a bowl or in tacos, it is a specialty well worth looking for when traveling in Mexico.
