Our goddaughter's sister eats just one brand of veggie burger and she is suspicious of that same burger when grilled not microwaved...so I sympathize with the hot dog dilemma. Her baby sister, however, will eat just about anything...same family, same exposure to same Dad who eats only a limited amount of foods, completely different result. Alice, the baby, even ate squid w/me when she was about 4. Go figure. Partner Nicole was very picky child eater, but now eats everything.Next week I go out to visit a small farm in Oregon--going to try some of his chickens and eggs--and, possibly buy a goat--just kids now, would wait until maybe a year or so to butcher. I first had goat in Connecticut. My pastry assistant was Pakistani and he invited me to his home for a meal after Ramadan. What a feast! Goat curry and a million sides dishes, all eaten on the floor with a lovely rug and pillows. He had bought the goat on shares...somebody raised it on an empty lot in Bridgeport, sort of the antiMartha Stewart neighborhood. Have made it several times since, but can only find goat leg in small frozen packages at the big Asian markets here. I think it'd be fun to cook my way thru the whole goat, see what cuts I get. We did the same last year with a 1/4 of a cow. A little cheapo deep freeze makes it economical and feasible. I got very good w/chicken fried steak, stews of various sorts and braised big tough cuts...and short ribs. I'm lookin' to source a pig, but that'll come in the fall, I think. Good luck w/your chickens...I know they'll be tasty! Lisa Hi, Heather.
