Young Goat with Wine
In the Mediterranean, goat and lamb is reserved for special occasions, whether feasting with the family or celebrating a specific event. One of the things Gourmed would humbly like to contribute to, is in the shaping of more food conscious human beings. Limiting different dishes to festive moments helps one control when and how often one uses certain ingredients and also encourages variety!
