Your goaty predjudice aside, Ian, the key seems to be to eat "kid" rather than
"goat", just as most prefer "lamb" to "mutton."

Last year I was served a rack of kid, simply roasted with potatoes. It was
excellent, a bit gamey, but then I like that. In fact that evening I had brought
a northern Rhone syrah which my hosts saw fit to open, with good effect as
I recall.
