We have no problems with the flavour of goat's milk, I was just wondering if
using goat's milk changed the flavour of dishes it's an ingredient in.
Sometimes cooking or baking something will change its flavour, and since
we've never cooked with goat's milk, we didn't know if its flavour or
texture would change. Larry says it should be fine, and since he raises
goats I trust him :-). I was actually more worried about texture, but I'm
not worried anymore!
