Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Which puts him ahead of some other RF authors, at least up until where I stopped reading.

Though, honestly? Sometimes I feel what's been culturally appropriated from me most is my outrage.

Hey ita, have you seen the NY Times article about goat meat? [link]

It's pretty funny.

Their unappetizing visage is simultaneously dopey and satanic, like a Disney character with a terrible secret.

Later:

“Is it gay meat?” Confused, I said, “There’s nothing gay about it at all.” She explained, “No, I said is it gamey?”

I think goats are cute. Not satanic! A college friend had house goat. No, really. They started out with a handful her parents used to keep the grounds in good shape, and then one had a kid the mommagoat rejected and her dad brought it inside so it wouldn't die and then couldn't get it OUT of the house (I think he was a big old softie.) Goats have a rep for being destructive, but I think this one thought it was just another cat or dog. If not a person.

I wish I'd ever learnt to cook my own goat meat. I haven't had any since I was in Jamaica over Christmas. I miss it. Hell, I miss eating out anything other than pizza or fries. Maybe I'll be fiscally irresponsible today and order in Chinese. It's no goat, but at least I didn't cook it.

I think goats are darned cute too. But I've never tasted them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have to admit I find goat tasty. But unlike ita, I don't miss it when it's not there.

I don't really find them cute looking, but I was utterly charmed by the 4H goats near my old apt. They'd look at you plaintively and say "HEY!"

I love their cheese! I don't know that I've had any goat meat. I feel like I should have, though.

The rival high school in Veronica Mars had a real goat as a mascot. (Newport High, or whatever they called Veronica's school had a parrot.) IJS.

Am I supposed to now wonder what parrot meat tastes like? Because I do.
