Had lamb, don't like it. Goat is good, but not worth the work, would rather have beef. Pork, yummy! Love all forms of pork. We raise a pig and a steer every year for the freezer. Should raise two pigs, just does not work out that way.

DOn't like the taste of either lamb or goat. Raised sheep as a kid- 75 head suffolks. Didn't like it then and have tried several times since still can't eat it.
I also have an aversion to chicken unless it is deep fried well done.There are other reason's I am not a chicken fan.
Am a big beef eater. Like pork as well.
WIld game=We always had rabbit, pheasant ,vension, on a rare occ. turkey etc growing up

I'm a hunter and eat lots of wildgame. Love pork, most favorite meat with beef not being far behind. Lamb like leg of lamb for Gyros is good, haven't tried any other lamb. I have never eaten goat, would be open to trying it, just never had it. I'm a meat eater, so I will try any meat at least once.

Beef and lamb in our house. All grass fed. Love steak but like alot of Aussies love a lamb roast. That meat is tender and sweet

Never had meat of any kind or species that I didn't like.  I have eaten most things from snakes, gator, wild meat of most types and almost every bird big enough to be worth cooking.  Goat was good and better than lamb in my book.  Beef and pork are the top on the list.  Favorite would be the one I am eating at the moment.

If it's alive around here, we eat it.  Do pretty well all of our own butchering as well.  One thing really suprises me (NOT) 26 for 26 eat beef!!  haha, go figure!  One thing that kinda suprised me, was that 26 for 26 also eat pork.  I figured someone out there wouldn't eat miss piggy.  

I have found the biggest thing about lamb (or main focus in production) is that people either really love it, or can't stand it.  I'm suprised to see how many people on here that do eat it.  Goat has a distinct flavor, IMO.  It's another aquired taste.  We hunt everything, and from what we kill.. rabbit ranks first, IMO.  

Sorry, forgot to mention chicken on the list.. suprised that no one else has marked other???  Crazy, I think not?  How about guinea, turkey, peacock, duck, or goose?

uncle had them.. best ostrich i ever had was scrambled eggs for 20 people!  When the market went out, they took them all the slaughter and the meat went bad when the electric went out.

It's interesting but it isn't really set up to show the right %'s. 34 out of 34 respondants eat beef  (go figure! <party>)but it shows as 16%? ???

Another meat that is good is Bison. A niche market up here, they have a Bison food booth at Agribition. When BSE closed our border up here it hurt the Bison and Sheep breeders really badly. I'm not sure why they were included especially with deer and elk with cronic wasting disease on both sides of the border.

well I wasn't smart enough to set it up that way...  thats ideal...  but it's set up so that it takes the number divided by something as a whole, instead of as a group.  Each segment really needs to be a seperate category, but I'm not sure how to do that- all on one post.

My grandparents dont even eat beef ever since the Sam's Club meat counter got bison in. And I gotta say bacon wrapped bison tenderloin is amazing.

 

[GoWyo]

Bacon makes bison taste a lot better.  t-bone beef steak or lamb chops cut 1¼ inch thick and medium rare can't be beat.

Nothing pisses me off more than when you get a filet mignon wrapped in bacon.  Bacon is something you put with meat to make it taste better.  If the $30 filet needs bacon around it something is wrong.

I eat lots of beef, pork and chicken.  We raise our own beef and usually buy a hog at the local jr. livestock sale.  I haven't eaten lamb since college, but I ate it fairly often then (one of my roomate's dad was a butcher) and liked it. I'm sure  I've eaten goat at some point, but not recently. I eat deer meat quite a bit too.

My wife won't eat chicken. Something about she won't eat anything that eats with its pecker.

Sounds like a bad hangup to have.  Even worse is something that does its thinking with it.
